I'm really a witch

After two days' stay, Circe returned to Longborn again in Mr. Darcy's carriage.According to her original plan, she should have returned earlier.With her ability as a witch, going back and forth in one day is not something worth talking about.

But she happened to be coming with Mr. Darcy this time, and it seemed a little too hasty for the carriage to make such a trip back and forth in one day.What's more, it wasn't his own carriage, and Circe couldn't do such a thing anyway.

Mr. Darcy didn't have any dissatisfaction. What he valued was getting along with the little girl. He didn't care whether the getting along with the girl was in the carriage or somewhere else.

So Williams became the most reluctant and reluctant person.It's a pity that no matter how much he tries to impress Circe with his words, Miss Witch remains unmoved.

"I'm always coming back in five days. Why do you have to procrastinate this time?" Sercy advised him. "Besides, I thought we had already agreed on this point before?"

The young master Earl reluctantly gave up.

"Charlotte! I'm back!" After Darcy's carriage left, Circe turned around immediately, shouted loudly, and ran into the house.

"You should slow down, I won't run anymore." Helping the little sister tidy up her messy skirt, Charlotte shook her head helplessly.

"Cersey's back? Just right, come here." Mrs. Lucas came out of the living room wiping her hands and waved to Cersey.

"What happened again?" Circe whispered to Charlotte's ear and asked.

"It's really an interesting thing." Charlotte walked towards the living room with her sister on her arm. "Just listen to what mom says."

"Tell me first if there is anything." Circe puffed out and complained.

"Yes, yes, my fault." Charlotte smiled good-temperedly, and pulled her sister to a chair to sit down.

"Mr. Collins proposed to Elizabeth." Mrs. Lucas said calmly, and before Circe could show surprise, she continued in a spirited manner, "Elizabeth refused."

Is this what you're talking about interesting?Circe looked at her sister with such accusation written all over her eyes.

"Look at what your sister does. But for Charlotte, this is indeed a good opportunity." Mrs. Lucas did not hide her scheming, "You came back just in time, we are planning to invite the Bennet family Come home for dinner."

"Mr. Collins just failed to propose marriage. How can it be said that it is a good opportunity? It should be impossible for him to propose continuously." Circe tried in vain to struggle again.

Mrs. Lucas saw through her small thoughts in a blink of an eye, and took a sip of water unhurriedly: "You don't have to worry about that, your little brain is not suitable for thinking about such complicated things."

"Mom!" Circe yelled angrily.After seeing Charlotte's expression of suppressing a smile, her entire face wrinkled.

Mrs. Lucas rubbed it easily: "Don't scream so loudly, I can hear you."

"You said earlier that you would come back today at the latest, so Dad has already handed out the invitation, and it will be tomorrow night." Charlotte explained to her sister in detail.

It was a curious coincidence how the Lucas family had been informed of Mr. Collins' failed proposal so quickly.On the day the gentleman chose to propose, Charlotte happened to go to chat with Elizabeth - Circe had gone to London, and she was really bored at home.Without thinking, I ran into such a scene.

After reconfirming that Elizabeth is really unwilling to marry Mr. Collins, Charlotte is also determined not to wait any longer.That's why there was such a dinner invitation.

"Cersi, I've been really unhappy these two days." Elizabeth took Circe's hand and poured out her bitterness.

"Cousin Collins proposed to me, but this is not the worst, after all, I can still refuse. I am determined to never agree to him, oh, who can stand such a person?" Waved his hand , Elizabeth continued.

"I'm mainly unhappy about Jane. Mr. Bingley went to London to deal with business, but his sister, Miss Bingley, sent a letter saying what it was. I'm afraid I can't finish the matter in three or four days, and I'm going to stay in London longer. They are worried about Bingley." It was too lonely and boring to live in the hotel alone, so the whole family went to London to accompany him."

"As for when I will come back, I didn't say a word." Elizabeth sighed a long time, "Jane is really sad to see, why did she suddenly encounter such a thing."

"Oh, I forgot. You should know about this, right? Did Mr. Darcy say anything to you?" Elizabeth suddenly remembered this matter, and hurriedly asked.

"That's strange. If Mr. Bingley's family went to London, Mr. Darcy should go too." Sercy showed a puzzled look, "But he did come back from London with me yesterday, doesn't he know ?"

Elizabeth nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Circe, your letter!" Charlotte found her sister and handed it over. "It was just delivered, and the messenger said it was from Mr. Darcy."

The letter said exactly what was just discussed.The Bingley family thought that Mr. Darcy must stay for a few days when he went to London, so they planned to go directly to meet him, but who knew that he returned so soon, and the two parties unfortunately missed it.

The letter briefly explained a few sentences, and Mr. Darcy also expressed his apology for not being able to send her to London to see flowers in five days.

Circe unfolded the letter and showed it to Elizabeth: "Look, there is such an unlucky thing." She paused, "But the letter doesn't seem to mention the date of return, I'm afraid it was really delayed by something."

"Maybe Miss Bingley wants to spend two more days in London." Elizabeth curled her lips.She decided in her heart that it was Miss Bingley who deliberately stopped Mr. Bingley, just because she saw her brother's love for Jane.He deliberately wanted to destroy all of this.But she didn't want to share these conjectures with Circe, just to add trouble to the little girl.

Throughout the evening, Charlotte was subtly teasing Mr. Collins to talk to herself.She could strike up a conversation with anyone if she wanted to, and Mr. Collins was good at giving long speeches.

Circe occasionally glanced in that direction, and couldn't help scowling, wishing that Mr. Collins had better get out of here as soon as possible.Hearing that he was going to leave this Saturday, Circe could only hope that Mr. Collins would not be so hotheaded as to make a serious serial proposal.It's one thing to agree to her sister, but if she wants her to watch things develop at such a fast speed, she may have to make more psychological preparations for a while.At least until Mr. Collins' next visit to Longborn.

Still, Sercy had underestimated Mr. Collins's fiery, authoritarian nature, or hot-headedness.Early the next morning, by rather cunning means, he slipped out of Longbourn, avoided all his cousins, and came to court Charlotte.

In a short period of time, he said a lot of words, so the two of them settled everything, and both parties were very satisfied.As soon as he entered the house, Mr. Collins sincerely asked Charlotte to choose an auspicious date, so that he could be the happiest person in the world.Although this kind of request should be ignored for the time being, Charlotte is not willing to procrastinate on these matters.She hoped that everything could be settled as soon as possible, so that she would not have to worry about any changes in the future.

As far as Mr. Collins is concerned, he is a naturally stupid man, and he never wins a woman's heart with his courtship, and he is always rebuffed when a woman meets his courtship.If it hadn't been for Charlotte's other plans, his proposal would never have been successful.

The two of them immediately went to ask the permission of the Lucas couple, which naturally encountered no obstacles.So when Circe took Cassandra out for a round as usual and came back, she got such hasty and shocking news.

"He, he actually..." Circe stammered and couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"Yes, he really proposed consecutively, and he really proposed on the day before he left." Charlotte patiently finished the rest of the sentence for her.

"This is really..." The little girl showed a slightly disappointed expression, but she quickly pulled herself together and tried to pull herself together, "Since it's a settled matter... then I congratulate you, Charlotte."

She said so, but it felt like a puppy that fell into the water.Charlotte sighed and rubbed the top of her sister's hair: "Thank you for being able to figure it out. You have to believe that I will be able to live well."

Circe nodded, buried her head in Charlotte's arms, and rubbed against each other.When he spoke again, although his voice was muffled, at least his tone was lighter: "Does Liz know about this?"

"She doesn't know yet, and I plan to make a special trip to tell her tomorrow." Charlotte added, "I have already told Mr. Collins not to tell this matter, and I also asked Dad to go to Bennet's house to announce it tomorrow." thing."

"They will be very surprised." Circe smiled. "Especially Mrs. Bennet, I'm afraid she will be very angry. She believes that Mr. Collins will marry her daughter."

"Yeah, I kind of messed up all her plans." Charlotte spoke softly with Circe.She could see that her little sister was trying to calm herself by talking incessantly.Then of course she has to cooperate well.

"Are you going alone tomorrow? Or with Dad?" Circe held her sister in her arms, lowering her eyebrows.

"I'll go first, and then Dad will go." Charlotte stroked Circe's long hair gently.

"Shall I go with you?" Circe struggled to maintain the conversation.

"Just rest at home, I promise, everything will be settled when I come back." Charlotte promised in a low voice.

Circe was silent for a while: "...I'm actually still a little sad, but only, only a little bit," she took a light breath, and then let it out slowly, "I'm always happy for you, you know ,Yes or no?"

"Yes, I know." Charlotte pulled her out of her arms, and put a soft kiss on the forehead, "I always knew."
