It's really no small matter.

The British royal family attaches great importance to this matter, and the Queen specially promoted Liu Hieragi's title for this purpose.

He is now a Marquis.

Liu Heng returned to his manor and sent his men to repair the manor, buy wedding supplies, and decorate the manor.

All preparations were completed, and it was only a matter of months before he went to meet his bride.

Liu Heng remembered that there was one more thing he had not done.

He has not yet made contact with Bennett.

Is this family still worried about limiting inheritance laws?

Liu Heng took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Mr. Bennet.

On this day, after breakfast, Mr. Bennet said to his wife: "My good lady, I hope you will prepare your lunch better today, because I expect there will be guests today."

"Guests?" Mrs. Bennet asked. "Male or female?"

Mr. Bennet: "It's a gentleman."

Mrs. Bennet's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it Mr. Bingley? It must be him. Hey, he must be here for Jane..."

Mr. Bennet interrupted his wife: "Not Mr. Bingley. I have never seen this gentleman."

Mrs. Bennet wondered: "Huh? Who is that?"

Several Miss Bennets were also very curious and looked at their father, waiting for the answer.

Mr. Bennet clarified their doubts: "About two weeks ago, I received a letter. The owner of the letter said that he wanted to visit me, an elder."

"Elder?" The brain of the smartest second daughter Elizabeth - let's call her Liddy to distinguish her from the queen - started to work.

Mr. Bennet's younger generation should be relatives of their family.

They are not relatives on the mother's side, but their aunt's family and uncle's family are all familiar to them.

Then there are only relatives on the father's side.

And for my father to pay so much attention to...

Liddy said one word with a bad expression: "Limit the right of inheritance."

Mr. Bennet gave his favorite second daughter an appreciative look: "Yes, he is the heir to the Longbourn estate, my cousin William Collins."

At this time, the faces of the women in the Bennet family all looked bad.

Mrs. Bennet even cursed loudly, saying that her property could not be inherited by her five biological daughters, but it was given to someone who had nothing to do with them. This was really unreasonable.

Her two younger daughters, Katie and Lydia, echoed her words loudly.

Mr. Bennet had a headache from the noise from their voices and stopped them: "Okay, no matter how much you make trouble, the fact that Longbourn's property ultimately belongs to Mr. Collins will not change. In this case, why not receive this gentleman well?" Sir, at least don’t let this gentleman underestimate you.”

Mr. Bennet reminded his wife: "This gentleman will arrive at Longbourn at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he will bring a friend with him. My dear wife, you must ask the servants to clean two rooms quickly. And We also need to prepare dinner, so that the guests don’t think our family is rude.”

Mrs. Bennet muttered dissatisfiedly, but went to order the servants to do things.

She must do her best so that Collins cannot underestimate their family.

Jane and Liddy got together to talk about the new cousin and the illegality of limited inheritance rights.

Liddy sighed: "Now I can only hope that my father can live longer."

Jian said: "I hope my future husband can accept me taking my mother home to support her."

Liddy frowned as she thought of Mrs. Bennet's usual behavior.

If possible, she wanted Mrs. Bennet to go before Mr. Bennet.

Of course, as a daughter, she hopes that both her parents will be healthy and live a long life.

Time passed quickly, and it was afternoon in a blink of an eye. Two carriages entered Longbourn.

The residents of Longbourn saw the family crest on the carriage and speculated which big shot had come to Longbourn.

The family crest is only owned by nobles.

I saw the carriage parked at the door of Bennet's house.

Everyone was jealous for a while.

Why do all the good things happen to the Bennet family?

Mr. Bingley of Netherfield Manor admires their eldest daughter, and now another distinguished person is visiting their home.

The Bennet family members were also shocked when they saw the family crest on the carriage.

Is Mr. Collins's companion a nobleman?

They did not think that Mr. Collins was an aristocrat.

The family has been staying in the country. Although they often have contact with the Gardiner family who live in London, Mr. Gardiner is just a businessman and not in the same circle as the aristocracy. Naturally, he does not know about Mr. Collins.

The door of the first carriage opened, and two men got out of the carriage one after another.

All are tall men.

He was about twenty-five or six years old, tall and straight, and handsome in appearance, no less handsome than Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy. He has a noble temperament and looks like an elegant gentleman.

The other one is about in his early thirties, with an equally tall and straight figure, a high nose bridge, and tight lips, giving people a firm and decisive look.

Both were wearing high-end suits, which made it difficult for Mrs. Bennet and the ladies to tell which one was Mr. Collins.

Liu Heng took a step forward and introduced: "Ladies, good day. I am William Collins. This is my friend, Colonel Brandon."

At the word "Colonel," the two youngest Miss Bennet's eyes lit up, and they stared intently at Colonel Brandon.

Colonel Brandon was embarrassed by their stares.

The gazes of these two young ladies were so intense that they seemed to want to melt him.

It seems that these two ladies like the officer very much.

Colonel Brandon knew that the appearance of officers in military uniforms was very attractive to young girls.

Brandon greeted the Bennet family politely, and the Bennet family had a very good initial impression of him.

Especially Mrs. Bennet and her two little daughters.

Mrs. Bennet: Another gentleman! Still an officer! I wonder if you are married? If you are still single, you will have hope for your daughter! Doesn’t Lydia like officers? Colonel Brandon suited him just fine.

After Liu Heng met Mr. Bennet, he asked his servant to give him a gift.

He prepared gifts for everyone.

Lydia and Katie couldn't wait to open the gift box and exclaimed when they saw the jewelry inside.

"so beautiful!"

The rest of the Bennet family looked over and were surprised to see the box in their hands.

Mr. Bennet said: "It's too expensive."

Each piece of this jewelry is worth hundreds of pounds, and his cousin spent a lot of money on it.

Judging from his attire, he doesn't look like he's short of money.

So what was he doing in Longbourn?
It doesn't look like he wants to come in advance to take over his property.

What's more, while Mr. Bennet is still alive, the property will not belong to Mr. Collins. (End of chapter)
