[Pride and Prejudice] Professional female supporting role

Netherfield was extremely calm for a while, and the only small disturbance in the middle was the letter Richard sent back from London, which was addressed to Mr. Darcy, which described in detail the relationship between Viscount Warren and the two men who tried to kidnap Caroline. It turns out that those two people used to be Viscount Warren's lackeys, but they made a mistake some time ago, and were mercilessly punished and abandoned by Viscount Warren. White almost lost his life.Bill held a grudge, thinking of Viscount Warren's grudge against the Bingley family before, although in the end he chose to swallow his anger because he was afraid of Mr. Darcy and the background behind him, but this is exactly what Bill took the risk and decided to use Bentley and Darcy to frame him. The reason for Viscount Warren.

There is also the result of the handling of the matter. Although Viscount Warren was not abandoned by his protector, he was also suppressed a lot.This result can only be regarded as unsatisfactory. After seeing the letter, Mr. Darcy was silent for a while, and then wrote a reply letter.

Caroline was completely unaware of this, and although she hadn't completely forgotten about her distress in Kent some time ago, she didn't dwell on it either, because she was stumped by one thing now.After all, Mrs. Bennett found out about Jane and Mr. Anthony. To make matters worse, the fact that her daughter fell in love with a poor boy was not told to them by themselves, but from a neighbor who loved to compare and gossip. heard.

The other party's sarcasm made Mrs. Bennett, who wanted to find a wealthy husband for Jane, very angry. She not only quarreled with the lady on the spot, but even lost her temper when she returned home.

What made her even more angry was that the eldest daughter, who had always been the most considerate, was surprisingly stubborn this time, and she didn't listen to her at all, as if she had already given up on that poor boy. This made it difficult for Mrs. Bennett, who had no impression of Anthony at all. Accepted, and even declared that if Jane insisted on marrying that priest, he would refuse to speak to her!

I have to say that in this matter, Jane is still not as neat as Elizabeth. Her mother's attitude made her very sad. She couldn't ignore Mrs. Bennet's threat. Caroline invited her to visit Netherfield several times. Jane looked very depressed. Obviously, Mrs. Bennet had too high expectations for this eldest daughter, and she was able to persist in the cold war for so long.

Fortunately, Mr. Anthony was very considerate of Jane, and he really loved her deeply. Even though Mrs. Bennet said very excessive things to him, he never left Jane.

"Caroline, I really don't know what to do. Anthony is a beloved pastor, and I really don't want him to be judged because of me." Jane covered her face with a painful voice Confused: "Should I leave him? Maybe, as mother said, he can be happier after we are separated..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Caroline put her arms around her shoulders and persuaded softly, "If you leave him at this time, wouldn't Mr. Anthony be too pitiful? Standing unswervingly by your side all the time, he must love you deeply, if you tell him that you want to separate, he will die of pain."

"Then...then what can we do?" Jane's voice was extremely fragile.

It's better to elope... Thinking of Mrs. Bennett, Caroline secretly thought helplessly, but this kind of thinking was really shocking, she could only persuade with positive energy: "Mrs. Thinking about Mr. Collins before? Didn't she give up in the end too!"

Caroline gave an example insincerely. Mrs. Bennet was able to give up Mr. Collins as a "sister-in-law". Be stubborn and strong, and Jane has always been obedient and obedient. Mrs. Bennet may not let go so easily, unless she can be distracted by something?

Caroline just thought about it randomly, she really didn't expect this incident to happen so suddenly and bizarrely.

Lydia has eloped with someone in Brighton!

The distorted plot always shows its weak sense of existence in such a sudden situation. Unfortunately, that day Caroline was sketching with Jane, and Catherine, the fourth sister of the Bennett family with a big mouth, yelled out tens of meters away. When Caroline flicked the writing brush in her hand, she tore an orange slit in the blue sky.

Does this girl really not understand what it means to spread family ugliness?

Caroline didn't finish complaining, and Jane beside her stood up in a panic and went up to her: "Katie, what are you talking about? Didn't Lydia go to Brighton with Mrs. Foster?"

"That was all a week ago!" Catherine waved her hand disapprovingly, "One week is enough for Lydia and Danny to elope ten times."

Seeing that there seemed to be more excitement than worry in Catherine's eyes, Caroline really didn't know what to say, and then she belatedly caught a word: "Danny?" Isn't it Wickham?

"Yeah, that kid with the blond hair and the big nose!" Catherine curled her lips, unable to tell whether she was yearning or dismissive: "Why did you pick him?"

Uh, without Wickham, Lydia can still find someone to elope with, it really can't be slapped...

"Catherine!" Jane was really trembling with anger from these two out-of-control younger sisters. It is certain that Lydia will not be ignored, let alone go to Brighton.

The cold fingers were suddenly wrapped in warmth: "Things are still unclear now, anyway, don't think about it, go back and talk about it!"

Jane nodded worriedly, and didn't even bother to pack her things. It was Caroline who signaled Elsa to take care of the aftermath, and then she hurriedly followed.

The Bennett family was noisy and noisy. The main reason was that Mrs. Bennett's fighting power was too strong. Her voice alone was worth five hundred ducks. Mr. Bennett saw the people behind Jane. Caroline, her eyes flickered, Caroline noticed it sensitively, and she also realized that she shouldn't stay, after all, it's really disgraceful to say this.

She comforted Jane a few more words, and emphasized that she must send a letter to her, and then she left.Back in Netherfield, Caroline went straight to the study on the second floor.

She hadn't thought about it, what would happen if the Bennett family had a different surname and had an elopement daughter? Without the help of Mr. Darcy's golden finger, how could the old Mr. Bennett satisfy Mr. Wickham, who was talking like a lion?But Caroline really didn't expect that when she encountered this matter, she would be able to meddle in her own business without hesitation.

The friendship with Jane did have a certain influence on her, but the inexplicable little guilt in her heart cannot be ignored. Caroline always feels that because she has occupied Mr. Darcy, the Bennett family has lost a lot of help.

As expected, Mr. Darcy was working at his desk. He really seldom ran around this year, so he had a lot of work at hand. Caroline gently pushed the door open, and seeing his serious profile made her heart sore.Hearing her voice, Mr. Darcy raised his head, and the corners of his lips naturally curved into a gentle arc—it has been a long time since the indifferent person in the past.

"Is it bothering you?"

Her knowingly question made the smile on Darcy's lips more intense. He put down his pen, straightened his body, but did not speak, and only put one hand on the table, which seemed to be an outstretched movement, as if calling out silently. she.

Caroline walked over lightly, and when she was within arm's reach, someone grabbed her and her lips fell on the corner of her lips. Darcy asked tenderly, "What's the matter?"

She obediently poked his cheek sideways, then stood up straight with her hands behind her back, "There's something wrong."

Darcy leaned back on the back of the chair and looked at her. Because she was sitting not much shorter than Caroline, and her posture was very relaxed, Caroline took a step back uncomfortably before saying: "Jane's Something happened at home, her little sister got lost, I thought it would be faster for you to help find her."

"It turned out to be such a thing..." He crossed his fingers, and seemed to think it over before he said, "I don't think it's appropriate. After all, Mr. Bennett is here, and Mrs. Bennett also has brothers, so we suddenly intervene It's like meddling."

Caroline choked on his justifiable words, hesitated for a while, wondering if it was true that Lydia had eloped with someone, so that Mr. Darcy would help others as in the original book, and would not feel that he was have a finger in the pie.

The expression on her face is really vivid, as if she is in a big trouble, and her nose is wrinkled and she looks very cute.Darcy's eyes softened, and he let go: "But if you are looking for someone, Charles and I will go to Longbourne in the afternoon, and ask Mr. Bennett if they need to borrow some people?"

This question is not revealing the truth...Maybe Mrs. Bennet's bad temper thought that they were just playing a joke.

Caroline couldn't help it, so she could only explain the matter in a few words, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this matter will affect Jane. The matter between her and Mr. Anthony was full of twists and turns, and elopement can be regarded as a scandal wherever it is placed. Well, Jane will be very sorry if Mr Anthony backs down on this."

Mr. Darcy's expression became serious: "If the Miss Bennett family did such a thing, I think we should not intervene. People want to save face, and we are outsiders after all, Mrs. Bennett I'm afraid you won't be willing to accept my kindness."

Caroline really wanted to say that Mrs. Bennet would be happy to accept your generous help... But the words were too mean, she thought about it, and could only look at him with pitiful eyes until Mr. Darcy died. His serious face was almost uncontrollable, so he coughed lightly, stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to her and said, "It's okay for me to agree to your willful request, after all, you are only here with me. Make friends with Miss Jian, if she encounters misfortune, you must feel bad."

As he said that, he sighed very emotionally.

It was rare for Caroline to feel a little guilty when he sighed.

In fact, when Mr. Darcy said that he was an outsider and it was not easy to interfere, she realized that her thinking was too simple. The main reason was that she was too deeply influenced by the original work. She always felt that it was only natural for Mr. Darcy to help, but she forgot the original work. What Mr. Ridasi did was also hidden from Mr. Bennett's family, only the heroine knew it by accident.

Turning around to see Caroline standing there seemed to be introspection, with her fingers intertwined on her chest, Darcy suppressed a smile and looked away, but her voice was softer: "You have to remember, I am here because of Jane. Miss is your good friend, that's why I did this extravagantly."

Caroline nodded sullenly, and Darcy summed it up. He likes her obedient and obedient appearance, or her timid eyes when she is afraid of him occasionally. Sure enough, he still likes it he is docile...

"Then remember that I will be responsible for everything in the future, and you can no longer make up your own mind, huh?" He was very gentle even when he made such a request, and his already lethal voice made people palpitate even more.

Caroline nodded in a daze like this, and then was hugged by someone on her chest, and warm lips fell on her forehead, she was a little dizzy... she didn't feel that she had agreed to anything at all.

After that, Netherfield was still very calm. Jane basically corresponded with Caroline every day, because she found that talking with Caroline, even in writing, could make her feel more relaxed. Her mother has made her a little bit powerless.

And in places Caroline didn't know, due to Mr. Darcy's urging, the butler who was in charge of preparing for the wedding even sent people under him around. Caroline saw that Mr. Darcy was busier than before and often went out, so she thought it was Because of Lydia's matter, he was running around, and he felt extremely guilty.

About a week later, the news of Lydia's discovery reached Longbourne. The letter was written by Mrs. Gardiner, explaining that they found Lydia and Danny in a small hotel in the East End of London, and cryptically Condemning Lydia for being ignorant, it seems that Lydia actually brought up the so-called 'elopement', and Danny has basically regretted it.Moreover, the two of them basically spent all their money, and were targeted by a group of gangsters in the East District. If they hadn't found the two of them in time, something terrible would have happened.

Enclosed in the envelope was a letter from Lydia to her family, in which she complained that her uncle and aunt had interrupted her and Danny's visit to London, and that they had made such a fuss that they had to bet on Chipsey. De's residence makes her very unhappy!She didn't explain her 'elopement', but she mentioned that she wanted to marry Danny, but Danny had no money, and she didn't want to get married in that dilapidated church in Longbourn, so she hoped that her father would send her two hundred In the future, she will buy wedding dresses and jewelry, as well as Danny's dresses. The rest will be borrowed from her uncle on credit, and Mr. Bennett will return them to the Gardners later.

Jane suppressed her anger and finished reading the letter, but Mrs. Bennett instantly regained her spirits. She snatched the letter and held it to her chest. She took a bite out of my precious Lydia, who was going to get married. When Mr. Bennet came back, she wanted to send money to Lydia as soon as possible, and discussed that the whole family would go to London to attend Lydia's wedding.

"My Lydia is going to get married in London!" Her tone was really proud, and even Catherine, who was always not clear-headed, felt that her mother really didn't understand the situation...

Fortunately, in this way, Lydia can no longer elope, but as expected, this girl always knows how to make people more angry.

Jane was afraid that she might say something nasty here, so she and Elizabeth looked at each other, and they left the lounge together.

"I really don't know what mother thinks..." Elizabeth couldn't help gritted her teeth and complained in a low voice as soon as she left the house.

"I just hope that Dad won't make mistakes." Jane walked out the door, she wanted to wait for her father at the door.

Of course, what she said was wrong, not that she didn't want Lydia to marry Danny. At this time, even Lydia didn't want to marry Danny.She didn't agree with her mother letting Lydia mess around in London. Given their family's conditions, holding a wedding in London was a little bit too much, not to mention Lydia's ignorant temperament, and her uncle and aunt's good temper. I'm afraid she's really going to waste a lot of money.

Fortunately, there were more than one person who had the same idea as Jane. After reading the two letters, Mr. Bennett asked someone to pack up his things without saying a word, and went to London early the next morning alone.And Jane's letter was sent to Netherfield.
