I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 170 The man and woman who eloped

When Owen walked out of the dense woods expressionlessly, everyone waiting in the Lotus Building was stunned.

Without him, it was just because the appearance of the three people walking out behind Owen was too bizarre at this moment.

They were Gerald, who was wearing an obviously shorter top, a shirtless strange man who was tied behind his back with a woman's stockings, and a strange girl wrapped in Gerald's top.

All three smartly dressed people needed to do was take a look and probably figure out what was going on.

Jane, whose heart is filled with all kinds of stories, is one of such smart people.

However, she was still very embarrassed when she saw the half-dressed man, so she immediately turned her head and looked away, pretending to be calm.

Old Mrs. Owen, who always liked to act like a lady, had the most exaggerated reaction. She suddenly took a big step back, covered her eyes with a fan in horror and shouted: "Oh! No! My eyes! Don't let such a shameless bitch stand in front of me!"

A lady who is extremely particular about her dress and appearance would naturally find it very difficult to accept when she sees others acting inappropriately in this regard.

Old Mrs. Irving was one of those people who had to dress neatly before going out. It was partly her fault that her husband suddenly fell ill.

Mr. Owen Sr. was in the bedroom at the time and unfortunately fell down. Old Mrs. Owen could not move him to bed herself, but she would not immediately ring the bell for the valet to come in and help.

Just because in her view, it is very rude for a master to appear in front of a servant disheveled. No matter what, she had to help herself and her husband get dressed before calling the servants to come up and help.

In this way, old Mr. Owen's head was bleeding. During the cold wave, he lay on the cold floor for nearly half an hour before he was able to stop the bleeding and was moved to a warm bed with the help of a servant.

A lady who pays so much attention to etiquette suddenly lets a shirtless man and an embarrassed woman wearing men's clothes taint her noble and pure eyes. It would be strange if she didn't scream at the end of her throat.

Old Mrs. Irving even rolled her eyes quickly and fainted - just in time to fall into the arms of her daughter who ran downstairs from the second floor after hearing the sound.

The lotus tower was full of yin and yang, and everyone was very excited when they saw the disheveled men and women coming out of the grove.

The calmest one was probably Xia Qingdai. Even the cook Lily's reaction was greater than Xia Qingdai's.

Lily covered her face and shouted, "I have never seen a man without a coat in my life!" Although she is twenty-eight years old, and although she is a maid, she also knows shame, etiquette, and dignity!
If Owen hadn't immediately brought the two people under the eaves in front of the Lotus Building and away from everyone's sight, maybe two more people would have fainted on the spot.

If we could go back more than ten or twenty years, or go forward another twenty or thirty years, we would definitely feel dizzy when faced with this situation. The existence of the corset makes ladies easily out of breath and faint when they are excited.

The loose, high-waisted imperial skirts of this period significantly increased the lung capacity of ladies, making them less likely to faint.

Compared to the fussy ancient Western ladies, Xia Qingdai seemed much calmer.

Although she is only eighteen years old, she is an eighteen-year-old girl from the 21st century and has seen a lot!
What's so strange about a shirtless man who looks like a chicken? She's even seen men wearing only briefs in sports news! They are also 1.9 meters tall and have double-door breasts.

Not to mention women, every year on the red carpet, one female star wears less than the other, and there are even female stars who directly wear tube tops and gauze skirts to face the spotlight. The woman in front of her, dressed in men's clothing and wrapped up fairly tightly, was nothing at all.

Owen calmly ordered the valet Gerald and the only maid in the room, Lily, to help the couple put on decent clothes as soon as possible.

Gerald pulled up the curtain between the kitchen and dining room and the living room, pulled off the clothes he took off from the strange man, quickly took out a clean piece of clothing from his luggage, put it on, and then took off the clothes he had taken off. The clothes were thrown in the man's face. The reason why he became so embarrassed was entirely because of the naked woman who was still wearing his clothes.

Twenty minutes ago, Gerald followed his owner Owen and followed the woman's cry for help to the grove on the mountainside. Then he saw the woman with no clothes on her upper body, being pinned down on the haystack and bullied by a man.

Without saying a word, Owen stepped forward and hit the man with the butt of his gun. The man was stunned and fell to the side holding his head and wailing.

Owen then untied the garters that bound the girls' wrists and tied them around the men's wrists.

Then he ordered Gerald to take off the clothes on the subjugated man and lend them to the woman with nothing on her upper body.

But the woman firmly rejected the proposal and refused to wear his clothes until she died. Helpless, Gerald had no choice but to take off his clothes and give them to the woman.

It is impossible for the master to do such a thing.

Without Gerald, Irving would definitely not take off his clothes and give them to a woman. This is the last bottom line for a gentleman.

After the three embarrassed people all put on decent clothes, Owen mentioned something that shocked everyone in the audience - this woman who was disheveled before was actually the same as him. relation.

He told Connie to stop covering her face and screaming, and to take a closer look at the girl in front of her.

Connie opened her eyes to look at people through the gaps between her fingers, and finally saw the woman's face clearly. She couldn't help but become stunned: "She, she, she..."

Owen continued for her: "She is your cousin, your aunt's niece."

"Oh! Cousin Anne, what is going on?" Connie felt like she was getting messy in the wind.

Why did the disheveled woman walking out of the woods outside London turn out to be her cousin? This is unscientific!

Although my cousin's family is not a noble squire, my uncle is a respectable priest in London, and his life is better than before for their family!
Anne, who was questioned by Connie, covered her face and cried, and did not answer her questions at all.

On the other hand, the man who was sneaked to the second floor of Lotus Building by Owen and interrogated with a gun pointed at his head came out with something.

It turned out that this was a gambler who squandered all his family property. He owed a huge gambling debt at the University of London. He couldn't survive anymore, so he decided to kidnap a young girl and run away.

As a result, Anne, who fell in love with him at first sight at the masquerade, became the target of his entertainment.

The two of them were not really having a fight just now, but were playing a role-playing alphabet game.

Who would have expected that in such a mountainous wilderness, there would be nosy men rushing into the woods to save people.

Isn’t this just a mistake?

After hearing this, Owen didn't say anything for a long time, but stared at the other person with a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

The man who called himself Johnson swore an oath and swore to God that everything he said was true.
