The servant brought food for Jing Jiaren to eat. She didn't think about it at all, but she still tried her best to force herself to eat some.
She wanted to leave the room, but the servants prevented her from taking a step.
Is she under house arrest?
Jing Jiaren's free range of activities is this living room.
All sharp objects have been put away by the servants in advance.
Just when Jing Jiaren's hand was touching the vase, a servant reminded her in English: "If you do something that hurts yourself again, I'm afraid your hands will be tied up in the future, and you will lose even the most basic freedom. You want to get out of bed and move around."
It’s all very difficult.”
Damn threat!
But he successfully stopped Jing Jiaren——
What else could she do if she was handcuffed to the bed like a prisoner?
I took out books from the bookshelf. They were all in French and I couldn't understand them at all.
"Read me the story inside." Jing Jiaren threw the storybook into the servant's hand.
The servant had no objection, looked at the storybook and said, "This is Miss Jane's favorite storybook during her lifetime."
Miss jane?
Jing Jiaren frowned. The servant had already opened the first page and read in standard English:
"It has become a universally recognized truth that all wealthy bachelors always want to marry a wife. Whenever such a bachelor moves to a new place, the neighbors will not know his temperament or opinions at all.
However, since such a truth has long been ingrained in people's minds, people always regard him as a piece of property that one of their daughters deserves.
One day Mrs. Bennet said to her husband: My good lord, Netherfield Gardens has finally been let, have you heard?"
…
Jing Jiaren leaned on the bed, her mind buzzing with white light, and she couldn't understand the content of the story.
The servant read a long paragraph, and when he saw Jing Jiaren's eyes closed, he softly shouted: "Miss Jing, Miss Jing?"
"I guess she fell asleep again."
"Mil, this is the first time I've heard this story. It's very similar to what happened to Miss Jane and Master."
"No wonder it has become Miss Jane's favorite story."
Jing Jiaren was not asleep at all. When she heard the chatting of several servants, her brows moved fiercely.
It turns out that this Miss Jane is the woman that Mr. Ximen liked before? But she is already dead?
Otherwise, why would the servant say "before death"...
"What story is this?" Jing Jiaren suddenly opened her eyes and asked.
"Jane Austen's work, Pride and Prejudice." The servant replied, surprised that Jing Jiaren was not asleep.
Jing Jiaren stretched out her hand to ask for the book to be handed back, and she flipped through it again.
They were all in French, which she couldn't understand at all, and it was such a thick book. How long would it take the servant to read it?
Even if it was the Chinese version, she would have to spend two days reading it.
"Miss Jing, are you interested in this story?"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Jing Jiaren clutched the book: "Who is knocking on the door?"
A servant went to open the door and saw a snow-white, chubby cat walking in. Although the body was round and the head was round, it did not affect the nobility and elegance of his walk at all.
The cat walked quickly towards Jing Jiaren with a light step and an absolutely arrogant attitude.
What’s even more bizarre is that this cat is wearing a small hat and a black bow tie around his neck, looking like a cat gentleman.
When several servants saw the cat, they got out of the way!
