Chapter 1872 Arrogant Your Prejudice (15)
If Lydia did not repay the five thousand pounds of gambling debt, Mr. Bennett would definitely not agree to his wife and daughter's random mess.
For him, he had already paid too much for this uneasy little daughter, and he would not indulge her anymore!
But "Lydia" took out a check of 5,000 pounds easily. No matter what she was doing, she could still remember the repayment of the money, which made Mr. Bennett feel a little relieved.
Mr. Bennett even had the illusion: Perhaps Lydia is not so helpless, she was just blinded by love, but she still knew some basic concepts (such as paying off debts).
With this illusion, Mr. Bennett actually had some hope for Lydia.
Seeing that his wife was so happy, and their Bennett's house was sneered for too long, Mr. Bennett suddenly felt that holding a dance at this time might not be a bad thing!
Everyone knows that Lydia elopes.
Even if the Bennett family is low-key, outsiders will still laugh at it.
Instead of doing this, it’s better to open the door and hold a dance openly, so that Wickham and Lydia can show their sweet newlyweds in front of others, and perhaps the situation will be a little reversed.
"Well, dear Mrs. Bennett, if it's really what you think about hosting a dance, then you do it!"
Mr. Bennet shrugged, his attitude was obvious, neither supporting nor opposing, but letting Mrs. Bennet do it.
Of course, he didn't care at all.
The two older daughters would help keep a look after Mrs. Bennett without his explanation.
The third daughter, Mary, is a nerd and will not cause trouble.
He was going to keep an eye on Katie, second only to Lydia. A daughter who had eloped out of his family, and he didn't want to have a second one.
Katie looks the most like Lydia. Even if she is Lydia's sister, she learns from Lydia everywhere.
If Lydia can end up elopement and Katie will follow suit, then their Bennett family will really be discredited!
Therefore, Mr. Bennett did not intervene in the dance. Even at the dance, he saw the married woman "Lydia" flying around among many young men like a butterfly, but Mr. Bennett did not stop him too much.
Well, haven't you seen Mr. Wickham keep watching with a smile?
Lydia is already married, she is no longer the lady of the Bennett family, but the wife of the Wickham family!
Mr. Bennett kept comforting himself in his heart.
Sure enough, after thinking about it this way, Mr. Bennett was not that confused.
When he looked at Wickham again, he did not feel much disgusted, but instead felt a hint of gratitude - Lydia's burden was finally successfully passed on to other men!
In the future, no matter how many disasters Lydia causes, it has nothing to do with their Bennett family.
But soon Mr. Bennet was slapped in the face-
After a lively dance, the freshly released Wickhams and his wife visited several familiar families.
Whether others laugh at me or not, they don’t care at all. They continue to play a sweet and loving couple in front of others, which has attracted many people’s envy.
After showing off enough, the couple left Langboen in Mrs. Bennet's relentless gaze.
"Dear, I must write more letters to my mother!" Mrs. Bennet kept wiping her tears with her handkerchief.
She really can't bear to bear it.
But Mr. Bennett was a cruel man, and he didn't allow the Wickhams to live in Longborn.
Poor Lydia, poor Wickham, they had to leave here.
"Mom, don't worry, I will write to you."
Anne lay on the car window, waved her arms vigorously, and shouted: "When we settle down, I will invite you and the sisters to visit!"
"At that time, I will lead my sisters to the dance and introduce them to meet more men as good as Mr. Wickham-"
"Okay, dear!"
The mother and daughter said goodbye to each other at the top of their voices.
Their words made Mr. Bennett, Jane, Elizabeth, and others who were seeing off together were speechless.
"Men like Wickham", haha, they thank Bumin!
After finally sending off the troubled couple, Mr. Bennett knew something that made him extremely depressed before he could breathe a sigh of relief:
"What? Lydia borrowed money from you?"
Mr. Bennett could not believe his ears, his eyes swept over his wife and daughters, and his inner entanglement could not be described in words.
"No, my dear, Lydia is not borrowing money, but letting us invest!"
Mrs. Bennett seemed not to feel Mr. Bennett's repressed anger, but said proudly, "Lydia said that she discovered a very potential business."
"Actually, it's okay for her to do it yourself, but she cares about her mother and sisters, so she just pulled us together!"
"You know, too, we don't have sons, and if you unfortunately go first in the future, my daughters and I will definitely be driven out by the mean Mr. Collins!"
"Hmph, there are the shameful Lucas family. Do they think I don't know? Every time they come to our house, they always look at everything with the eyes of their masters. They are as greedy as Collins!"
It was clearly an industry that my husband worked hard to run, but in the end he had to make an outsider cheaper. Mrs. Bennett couldn't help but get angry whenever she thought of this.
It would be fine if she died before her husband, but once Mr. Bennet left first, she would definitely be kicked out of her home.
The money she and her daughters could get was only 5,000 pounds.
Mrs. Bennett is eager to let her daughter marry a good family, not only for her own vanity, but also for her future life.
If the daughter is married well, such as Jane, if she can marry Mr. Bingley successfully, she will still be able to join the couple even if she is kicked out in the future!
"Lydia is right. She is Mrs. Wickham now. She has made money with us in business, and it is not the income of Bennett's family. Instead, it can be regarded as the private property of my daughters and I!"
Mrs. Bennett saw her little daughter's generousness. Not to mention the gifts she brought back from London, even on the days of Langboen, her little daughter was very generous.
Not to mention, Mrs. Bennett never doubted her daughter, and she might cheat on her own money.
So, when the youngest daughter said that she had a business that could make a lot of money and wanted to attract the mother and daughter to invest, Mrs. Bennett did not hesitate at all and handed over the private money she had saved for many years to her younger daughter.
Mr. Bennett looked at Mrs. Bennett's stubborn appearance and couldn't help but hold her forehead.
Alas, he was really wrong before. Even if Lydia gets married, she can still harm their Bennett family!
Look, look, his wife easily took out more than 200 pounds because of the words "Lydia" from a few words.
And his kind and gentle Jane, and his witty and keen Elizabeth were also deceived by "Lydia".
As for Mary and Katie, one is nerd and the other is ignorant, they are even deceived by "Lydia".
