I'm really a witch

The next day, Circe had a rare and comfortable sleep. She felt that it must be because she used her brain to do interpersonal analysis too seriously yesterday.

Mrs. Lucas and Charlotte were considerate enough not to wake her.My daughter loves her own family, and it's not a big deal to be lazy once in a while.When Circe came out of the room, rubbing her eyes, Mrs. Lucas brought her an early breakfast herself, so that she would have something to eat before dinner.

At the dining table, Mrs. Lucas and Charlotte sat next to Circe, looking like they wanted to chat with her.Circe's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that she slipped out last night and was discovered?No, she cautiously put an ignore spell on her room.

Fortunately, as soon as Mrs. Lucas opened her mouth, her heart fell back into her stomach.

"The Bennet family, isn't Mr. Bennet's cousin here?" Mrs. Lucas started like this. She seemed to want to think about her words before getting down to business, but she looked a little uncertain.

Circe listened curiously to Mrs. Lucas's hesitation. Her mother had always been a decisive person, and she seldom dragged her words, even when she was chatting with her daughters.As far as Circe is concerned, Charlotte's intelligence is mostly inherited from Mrs. Lucas.This is a shrewd woman.In the modern age, it might be able to make a career out of it, but it's a pity that it happened at the wrong time, so I can only use my wisdom on housekeeping.

Seeing that her mother still looked difficult to speak, Circe cast her eyes on her sister.Charlotte avoided her eyes in embarrassment, which made Circe even more strange.

In the end, it was Mrs. Lucas who spoke. She still had a struggling look on her face, but she barely regained her peace in her words.

"It's really hard to talk about this matter. I chatted with your sister for a while, but I still want to hear what you mean." She paused and cleared her throat. "It's about that Mr. Collins."

"You should have heard his name and identity, a pastor, who will inherit the property of the Bennet family in the future."

"I know this is a bit out of place, after all we have been friends with the Bennet family for so many years, but you also know your sister," Mrs. Lucas looked sideways at Charlotte, with a worried look in her eyes. She sighed, and continued, "Your sister is not young, and I think Mr. Collins is a good match." She sighed again, and it was obvious that she felt uncomfortable making such a proposal.

Circe froze for a moment.She wasn't so obsessed with her family's seemingly taking advantage of it as Mrs. Lucas was, she was simply taken aback by the fact that her mother had picked Mr. Collins.

Of course she knew that her elder sister was smart, but she really didn't look good, otherwise she wouldn't have wasted all these years.At first, Circe was so vicious that she wanted to find someone to help her sister pour a dose of love potion directly, but at least she held back.She thought about whether she should change the face of her sister, but she endured it.

In modern times, Circe's parents are as good as they are, she barely sees them, and can't recall a face in her mind.But Mrs. Lucas and the others are different. They let her finally realize what kind of family affection is after many years, which made her really care about them, and at the same time worry about hurting them.

The love potion was easy, and the beauty potion was simple, but she didn't dare to risk her sister being executed as a witch.She herself is a real witch, and the so-called methods of killing witches in the eighteenth century are just a joke to her, but her sister and her family are different.Those gallows, the fire, can really take their lives.And she is well aware of the ignorance of this era, how many innocent girls have been killed by the witch trials.

So the best and only thing Circe could do was to do nothing.Only when the elder sister gets married can the younger sister get married.It's okay, she can wait.If my sister really can't get married, then she will stay with her all the time, what does it matter?What's more, what a smart girl Charlotte is, the two sisters are enough to live well.

So after hearing such a proposal, she fell silent.After two days of follow-up, Circe's evaluation of Mr. Collins is only two words - idiot.Searcy could hardly think of a more stupid man if it weren't for Wickham at the bottom.

Seeing her sister's silence, Charlotte felt very uncomfortable.She knew that Circe wanted to marry.In the past few years, she was quite obvious, but in the past two years, she seems to have completely given up the idea.This made her always feel that she was somewhat sorry for her younger sister, and the elder sister's guilt even diluted her guilt for Elizabeth and their Bennet family.

Circe pursed her lips and put down the knife.The food on the plate was eaten in sevens and eights, but this is actually Mrs. Lucas's usual meal size. She stopped talking for no reason at this time, but she really felt her throat was tight and she couldn't swallow. thing.

There was pleading in her eyes, and her voice was low and disappointed: "Charlotte, you don't need to wrong yourself for me." Seeing that Charlotte seemed about to speak, she hurriedly continued, It seemed as if she was afraid to break up in one breath, "That Mr. Collins, I, I went to sneak a peek around Liz's house, he is not worthy of you. You don't have to do it for me..." She couldn't continue, feeling very sad frustrated.

Charlotte sighed, touched her sister's head, but her expression was very soft: "I'm not just doing this for you." Seeing that she didn't deny this, Circe buried her head deeper, but Charlotte put her Her chin lifted so that she could look directly into her eyes.

"Of course I know that Mr. Collins is an idiot," Charlotte smiled. She rarely used such direct words, and it was a novel experience when she said it. "That's why my mother and I chose him." .” When she spoke the second half of the sentence, her expression became much more serious.

Circe didn't quite understand, and was a little silly when looking at people.So Charlotte's serious face just now was quickly diluted by a smile. She pinched her sister's little face, thinking how cute it was.

"Don't you think I'm not smart?" Charlotte boasted as if deliberately trying to amuse her.

"Of course you're smart." Circe nodded seriously, and added, "You're the smartest."

"Then you should know why I want to marry Mr. Collins." Charlotte raised the corners of her mouth and blinked. "After all, he has a decent status, decent property, and is stupid enough."
