[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

She was really hungry. When she saw the old housekeeper who prepared breakfast for her in a minute, Caroline knew that the so-called 'garden breakfast' in the morning was planned... She sat down at the dining table helplessly, She was the only one at the long dining table, but soon, she welcomed a kind friend.

Miss Anne sat across from her with a book in her arms.

"I hope my mother didn't embarrass you, Miss Caroline."

"Yes, no." Caroline replied with a slight smile.

Hearing this answer, Miss Anne breathed a sigh of relief. She stroked her chest: "It's a good thing, otherwise I really don't know how to face Cousin Darcy... You know, I've always been a little scared of him."

Before Caroline answered, she continued to ask: "So that means, did you agree to his marriage proposal? Then when will your wedding be held? Will it be held in London or Pemberley? I think it's likely to be in Pemberley , because the old Mr. Darcy and his aunt were married in the church next to Langton. But Kent is too far away from Pemberley, and after the weather turns cold, I don’t know if I can attend..."

She showed a sad expression, and found that Caroline kept smiling slightly, and then she blushed quickly: "I'm sorry, I have said so much, did I bother you?"

"How could it be?" Caroline smiled and said, "Actually, I also think it's more pleasant to hold the wedding when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming."

Miss Anne really laughed when she heard her words, but she was happy on the one hand, and on the other hand she was slightly guilty-I'm afraid Cousin Darcy doesn't like spring days very much, does he?

At this time, Mr. Darcy, who didn't know that his marriage was delayed because of the relationship between his aunt and cousin, and was secretly decided by Caroline, was sitting in the study with his two cousins ​​and Richard. , the expressions of several gentlemen were a little serious, and no one spoke.

After a while, Colonel Fitzwilliam couldn't hold his breath and said, "Is this matter so difficult to solve?"

It turned out that after a night of "serious thinking", White and Bill finally let go and confessed that the mastermind who ordered them to kidnap Caroline was a somewhat unexpected but strange person. The logical conclusion was that the man was Viscount Warren.

Speaking of the relationship between Viscount Warren and the Bingley family, it should be traced back to the time when Mr. Bingley was tricked back to London by Miss Venus' "letter for help". Obviously, the so-called "If you refuse to help me, I will I'm really desperate" is a very exaggerated writing technique, because at that time her marriage to Viscount Warren was far from being finalized.

But thanks to her, Charles met Cynthia in the past few days, and the two of them also cooperated to mess up the marriage that Miss Venus was afraid of, and had a small confrontation with Viscount Warren.Afterwards, Viscount Warren's sinister intentions towards Miss Jones' sister, the tutor, were also suppressed by Charles and Cynthia, and the two parties may have formally formed a bridge.

"Viscount Warren has some connections with the Bingley family, which seems to be his motive for doing evil, but I think these just show that he is not a bold and reckless person, and there are still many people who make him jealous." Joey shrugged. , Said to his younger brother.

"If he wasn't bold enough, then I really don't know how to describe the evil things he did!" The upright Colonel Fitzwilliam retorted loudly: "What he did to those poor children is worse than burning, killing, looting The robbers are even more contemptible!" Viscount Warren's hobby is those young children, and this unspeakable secret will make everyone who knows it contemptuous.

Richard smiled: "The most regrettable thing is that there are still people who support his evil deeds, but obviously this is not enough to make him lose his head and be arrogant! The rumored Viscount Warren is indeed a villain, but it is precisely because of him He is cautious enough, and has never been caught by anyone, and the righteous have nothing to do with him. Therefore, I really can’t believe that the matter about Caroline was instigated by him.”

"Oh come on! He's a lunatic who can do anything, and now we at least have evidence to deal with him!" Colonel Fitzwilliam stood up excitedly, and then he glanced at Darcy who had been silent, "Phi Zwilliam, I think you and I must think the same way? We must punish this villain!"

Mr. Darcy has been sitting in the single armchair with a blank face. At this time, he raised his eyebrows. Richard, who was caught by his eyes, shivered suddenly, and suddenly began to feel sympathy for Caroline. Viscount Warren may be innocent in this matter.

"Cough..." Roy finally stopped laughing. He didn't want his upright but ruthless cousin to act too impulsively for his little lover.

"Let's discuss this matter carefully." He looked at Colonel Fitzwilliam and said, "My dear brother, I'm afraid those two young girls are not as simple as you think, they should hate Warren as much as you do. Viscount, that's why I don't hesitate to risk my life and plant this matter on him, otherwise I really don't know how to explain, how could Bill, a "noble man" who refused to leave his partner and escape alone, To betray the master so easily? And how could Viscount Warren send such a disloyal subordinate to do evil for him?"

Colonel Fitzwilliam pondered for a moment after hearing this, "Then what do you mean, the two of them want to use us as gunmen to deal with the scapegoat Viscount Warren?"

"I'm afraid it's not us, Colonel, but Charles, and his close friend Mr. Darcy. If they can find out that Cynthia and Caroline are close friends, then they must know more about the relationship between Mr. Darcy and Charles." Richard opened the mouth.

"So!" Joey quickly interjected: "Not only can we not be led by them like this, nor can we just let Viscount Warren go so easily. After all, he is the culprit in this matter. I think so, ideally. Chad, the supporters behind your uncle, the Earl of Mansfield, and the Viscount Warren seem to have some political disagreements? We might as well hand these two people over to the gentleman, who must believe it or not. Give an explanation."

"I think my uncle and cousin know that someone is using Cynthia's name to do bad things, and they will definitely be willing to talk to him about how to solve it." Richard nodded with a smile.

Colonel Fitzwilliam, who was accustomed to being straightforward, couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard their conversations: "I really can't understand how you guys with complicated minds think about problems! I can't think of such a roundabout way."

"However, I think even if Fitzwilliam can think of these things, he would prefer to have a direct settlement with Viscount Warren, right?" Joey patted his cousin on the shoulder and teased.

Mr. Darcy gave him a look as cold as midnight mist.

Mr. Joy's laughter stopped slightly, and then Darcy said: "Actually, I am more looking forward to the fact that Viscount Warren's protector will give up such a troublesome subordinate. For us, it is more satisfying to beat the dog in the water." —This is the exact words of..."

"Beat the dog in the water? What a wonderful way to say it! Fitzwilliam, who said that?"

Seeing the Colonel's excited appearance, Darcy decided to keep his girl's name in his heart. After all, a kind and kind lady should not say such a thing, although he agreed very much.

A day later, Richard returned to London accompanied by Roy, because it was imperative to attack political opponents, Miss Anne was naturally a little disappointed, but Mrs. De Boer unexpectedly let her go happily and generously son-in-law candidate.

"Those who dare to act mischievously in Kent will have to pay the price!" As expected of the lady who has been in charge of a huge family property for many years, Caroline deeply understood what Mrs. De Boer said to herself when she heard this sentence - to become a A woman who can take up arms to protect her family and children at any time.

These days, the relationship between Caroline and this lady has gradually revealed the tip of the iceberg of harmony. She tried to speak actively in front of Mrs. De Boer, no longer pretending to be obedient or submissive.She also shared with Mrs. De Boer her experience in diet over the years, including the concept of food conditioning the body, which made Mrs. De Boer very interested. Both herself and her daughter need to be healthier. Caroline also wrote Let Noah write many recipes and send them to Rosings, because Mrs. de Boer considered that Louisa was pregnant.

"Pregnant people are the most picky about food, and it won't be too late to call your cook to Rosings after your sister gives birth," she said.

So Caroline gradually discovered that as long as she wanted, Mrs. De Boer could also be a very tolerant elder and a loving mother, although she seemed a bit strict most of the time, especially when she was enjoying Caroline playing and singing .

"You still need a lot of practice!" she pointed out curtly.

Another half month later, Rosings' trip ended without any risk. Although Mrs. De Boer never mentioned whether she approved of their marriage, unlike Caroline's slightly worried, Da Mr. West is clearly very optimistic.

"She must have acquiesced!" Sitting in the carriage, the gentleman smiled while holding Caroline's hand.

"I hope you are not overconfident..." Caroline resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and stopped looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Kent is such a beautiful place, but I still miss Netherfield terribly. Of course, because my older siblings are there."

"Derbyshire is beautiful too, as good as anywhere," said Mr. Darcy softly, "and I was there, so have you missed it?"

"..." His breath fell on the pinna, and it was itchy, and he realized that his face was hot again. Caroline really felt helpless at Mr. Darcy's sweet talk that became more and more unscrupulous when they were alone.

"Derbyshire is beautiful, but you're not there at the moment! But I'd miss it if Georgiana was..."

Her fluttering lips were caught again, and the slightly bumpy carriage made her heartbeat gradually become disordered.

It was almost dusk when I arrived at Netherfield, and I saw Louisa in a light red dress standing outside the door holding Mr. Hurst's arm. Caroline ignored Mr. Hurst's hand and jumped out of the carriage and ran over independently.

When she came to Luisa, she slowed down, as if she was timid, not daring to touch her pregnant sister.

Luisa had a mother's unique gentle smile on her face, but when she spoke, the gentleness seemed to be Caroline's illusion.

"Caroline, why are you so red?"

Under her sister's narrow eyes, Caroline was tongue-tied and blushing, while Mr. Darcy behind him looked like a gentleman. He bowed and even curled his mouth: "Louisa, are you all right?"

"Of course, of course! I couldn't be happier to see you two the way you are now."

Louisa's playful smile made Mr. Darcy feel a little bit ashamed, but fortunately, it was difficult to see such weak emotions on his face, and Caroline was already furious: "Louisa!"

"Dinner is ready. If we don't let them change their clothes, I'm afraid it will be cold." The loyal Mr. Hurst immediately came to smooth things over. Obviously, he was very used to his wife who became more and more mischievous after pregnancy.

It was already half an hour later when the few people finally reunited at the dining table. Of course, the dinner was not cold. Caroline had no time to talk while eating the big meal carefully prepared by Noah.

"Charles may not come back for some time, poor man... But Mr. Darcy, shouldn't you be busier than Charles this season? I really didn't expect to be able to have dinner with us at Netherfield leisurely." Louisa, who eats five or six meals a day, is obviously not very hungry, so she can always tease her sister and her brother-in-law who is about to be promoted in different ways.

Caroline lowered her head, resolutely playing dead.

Darcy looked helpless, but he didn't dare to ignore his sister-in-law's question at this juncture, so he could only reply calmly: "The work can never be done, but the meal also needs to be eaten."

The key is that it is more important to accompany your lover!

Louisa winked at Caroline, then finally let the poor little lovers go.

After dinner, Louisa asked Caroline to accompany her back to the room, but no one expressed any objection. Who would dare to refute a pregnant woman who is five months pregnant?Caroline could only help her sister up the stairs and sit on the sofa in fear. Sure enough, Louisa asked directly about the two of them.

Married women are really tough, and they don't think about the shyness of girls when they face relationship problems... But soon, Caroline gradually let go of her guard under Louisa's repeated questioning, and the details of the marriage proposal she Even talked for nearly 10 minutes.

"So I think that before the end of the year, Mr. Darcy will definitely get the wedding ready and marry you home."

Caroline touched her belly: "I think it's still too soon. I should accompany you in Netherfield until delivery, and then I can rest assured that the baby can walk and jump."

"Haha, you don't want my baby to be hated by my uncle before it's born." Luisa collapsed on the sofa rubbing her stomach and laughing.

Caroline looked terrified, "Lucy, be careful!"

"It's okay, it's okay, he's very good!" Luisa showed a happy expression, her eyes were softer and warmer than when she looked at her lover. Caroline, who was watching, felt the urge to have a child.

"But... isn't your stomach really too big?" Luisa's stomach is indeed very big. Speaking of this, she also showed some worry on her face, but her tone was still relaxed: "It shouldn't be a problem, Bei Mrs. Nate said she was pregnant with Miss Lydia, like me, with a very big belly."

This resemblance is not a good sign. Caroline was worried when she thought of Lydia, who was giggling and dancing for a long time, but she didn't dare to show a trace of sadness, so she could only comfort her: "Maybe the reason for your stomach It’s so big because there are two babies in it!”

Luisa was really happy after hearing this. The two gentlemen outside the door heard their frequent laughter, finally looked at each other, and returned to the lounge.
