[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

Chapter 86 The Egg or the Stick

Elizabeth's heart was like a wildfire, and her mind was on the verge of collapsing. At this moment, all the past events became a thread in her mind.Those details that were once ignored, as well as the unbelievable coincidences, were almost mocking her blindness.

"Stop! Let's talk about other things later!" Elizabeth's voice was as cold as ice, but there was fire hidden in her eyes. She refused to look at Mr. Darcy.

Wickham stared at what seemed to be a smoking hole in the floor, barely a foot from his right foot.He turned his head suddenly, looking at the beautiful girl at the door in horror as if he saw a devil.

The black dress was covered with a white apron, but the young lady who didn't look like a maid was watching him, and even raised her hand: "You can continue to run forward."

Damn pretty lady, that's a madman!

Wickham's legs gave way and he fell to the floor.

Elizabeth ignored Darcy, walked around Wickham, and walked to the rough bed: Georgiana was still fainting, her breathing was steady, her clothes were in good condition, and her face and hands showed no other injuries.Elizabeth heaved a sigh of relief, even though there was monstrous anger in her chest, she still hoped that the little girl would be fine.

"My maid can help send Georgiana back." The young lady raised her jaw, ready to leave the show that she should not be on stage.

All the previous expectations turned into muddy water, making people uncomfortable.Elizabeth felt that if she stayed in the same place with the liar in front of her again, she would not be able to resist pouring out all her anger on him—in fact, Miss Elizabeth has already taken care of it until now. .

No one can stand such teasing!The one she fell in love with was actually someone she wanted to stay away from, and a huge absurdity enveloped her, Elizabeth desperately told herself that this Mr. Darcy didn't know anything, didn't know that he was the person she didn't want to provoke, didn't know her inner knot, I don't know about the fairytale love between the prince and Cinderella... The lady didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid that she would shed tears in front of this group of unworthy people and expose her fragility.

Mr. Darcy was also shocked by the accident, and when Elizabeth was about to leave, he grabbed the lady's slender right arm.For some reason, Mr. Darcy has an intuition that once Miss Lizzie leaves his eyes, she will become a misty smoke in the forest, and he will lose her completely if he can't find her again.

"There is one more person, and another person has run away, and my people will find her immediately." Darcy suppressed the panic, and said as rationally as possible: "There are no other guests in this hotel, and it is safe for the time being. I have to put this This matter is settled here." This matter cannot be known to others. Darcy's two confidantes, one went to chase the escaped man, and the other went to pick up Darcy's family doctor. After knowing the matter, Darcy had already done something. Well plan for the worst.

His voice was low, as if begging: "My servant can be trusted, but he is the only one. Can you help me put Georgiana in the next room?"

Elizabeth's eyes were warmed by his palm, she nodded silently, and Lakasha, who was like a small tower at the door, immediately came in and picked up the thin Georgiana.

Lakasha stepped on Wickham's hand on the ground, and the spineless man immediately yelled. The personal maid of black slave blood looked at him warningly, and almost broke his wrist.

Elizabeth, who was awakened by the screams, moved her arms. She will leave two maids to take care of Georgiana, and the lady will leave immediately: "Let go!"

Mr. Darcy moved his lips, looking sadly at the young lady who was still unwilling to meet his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Can I ask Miss Lizzie to stay and be a witness for me?"

The gentleman's hand stubbornly held the lady's arm and refused to let go.

Elizabeth almost laughed angrily.Why, this gentleman can actually make more requests?And now he still calls her Miss Lizzie?

This is simply to remind her of those once beautiful, but now ridiculous affections!

The atmosphere between the two men was almost frozen, thanks to the good buffoon who was helpful and willing to sacrifice - Mr. Wickham took advantage of this opportunity, and he went straight to the door when the couple were awkward. , clutching his injured wrist with one hand, the gentleman who staggered to escape was extremely brave, the maid who was like a hill left, he could escape!

boom!

Mr. Wickham was kicked back into the room, and rolled on the ground twice before stopping.

He looked up at the crazy lady with difficulty, almost crying: Which lady would hire so many niggers as maids!Isn't she really crazy?

"You see," said Mr. Darcy at once, "I really need your help."

"For our friendship... No, please for Georgiana's sake." The gentleman stared at the young lady's face, noticing any signs, and immediately changed his words wisely.

Elizabeth's eyes met Wickham's, and the sensible lady was indeed afraid.What happened just now gave her a powerless sense of fate. She tried her best to escape, but returned to that road again. The Mr. William she fell in love with turned out to be Fitzwilliam Darcy!And what about Lydia?

And Georgiana, whose housekeeper was no longer Mrs. Young, was still sold to Wickham by the same lady, and almost suffered an even greater injury.

Georgiana's incident sounded the alarm for her, and Elizabeth had to face up to Mr. Wickham, who was counted as the fuse of all tragedies in the lady's memory.

"...Sir!" Mr. Darcy's valet pulled a plump woman in.

"Jema!" Mrs. Young from the corner rushed up screaming, grabbing and biting to force the servant to let go. She hugged the hooded woman in her arms and stroked her face in a panic. "My poor Gemma, did they beat you?"

The hood fell down, and the woman was surprisingly young, about the same age as Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked coldly at Mrs. Young's appearance, then at the young girl who was silent and weeping at Wickham, and suddenly decided to stay.

The young lady was very angry, and she could not go home with it to affect Mary.At least she'd have to figure it out, or she might never get another chance—given Elizabeth's determination to cut ties with the Darcys.

"Let go!" The lady raised her chin and ordered.

Mr. Darcy's eyes dimmed, he moved his fingers, and the soft palm of Miss Ren who did not resist pulled his hand down.

Elizabeth turned around and sat in the only armchair in the room. The gun in her right hand was placed on the small square table with a clang.

The gentleman's eyes lit up like starlight.

Gemma is a young, beautiful and versatile girl. She dresses well and eats well, and is even richer than her own daughter in her foster family.

But all the girls in that family who were far inferior to her were being pursued and were about to get married, but Gemma had no one in the social circle.

Because she not only has no property, but also has no surname.

She is a dishonorable illegitimate daughter.

This is known to everyone in the local area, and all decent young people are asked by their parents not to associate with her.The village where Gemma lives is remote and the roads are difficult to walk. The local social circle is extremely closed. An enduring topic is to guess who Geema's father is and who will marry her in the future.

Except when Mrs. Young came back.

Mrs. Young was known to be the housekeeper of a large family, and her salary was well over forty pounds a year.In England, stewards and servants are two distinct groups, the former respected and the latter despised.

Mrs. Younger will send some fashionable jewelry in the city to the people in the village, and sometimes she can introduce some jobs such as maid and waitress to country girls.

Mrs. Young claimed to be Gemma's aunt, but everyone knew that Gemma was her illegitimate daughter. This was said by her relatives.Mrs. Young dressed Gemma like a young lady in the city, arousing the jealousy of the daughters of her sojourn family, and told their secrets.

But that's okay, the neighbors have already guessed.For the sake of Mrs. Younger's wealth and usefulness, no one would expose the lies face to face. Some people even speculated whether Gemma had a noble father, otherwise she would not grow up to be older than Mrs. Younger. Looks so much better.

Even Gemma herself is full of hope. It is generally believed that illegitimate children of noble blood are more noble than ordinary people. The girl hopes to be able to crown her father's surname and marry a decent gentleman.But Mrs. Younger knew that these were all lies. Gemma's father was a villain with nothing but appearance. She comforted her daughter and had already begun to find a good young man for her daughter.

But Mrs. Young lost her position because she disciplined Miss Georgiana severely, which caused Mr. Darcy's dissatisfaction.As the real employer of Mrs. Younger, Mr. Darcy can't stand her restricting her younger sister, and even interferes with what books she reads and what music she plays.She was always nagging, always saying that there was something wrong with Georgiana, and when Mr. Darcy found out, he quickly transferred her away from his sister.

Although Mrs. Young is still the housekeeper of one of Mr. Darcy's properties, the gap between the housekeeper of a small house and Miss Darcy's housekeeper is comparable to that of the English Channel.Mrs. Younger has served Darcy's family for more than ten years, and she thinks she is very decent, so she proposes to her employer to leave Darcy's house.

Mr. Darcy agreed.

He actually agreed!This became the beginning of Mrs. Young's resentment.She resentfully looked for a new job, but found that it was difficult. Most housekeepers would serve a master for the rest of their lives, and they would be taken over by someone trained by him after death.What's more, the needs of housekeepers are far lower than those of butlers.Losing her lucrative salary and her status as a housekeeper, Mrs. Younger had to take Gemma from the countryside, because if she stayed any longer, Gemma would definitely be bullied and abused.

Mrs. Young is a smart woman. She thought of her favorite son-in-law, George Wickham, who was also treated unfairly by Mr. Darcy.Old Mr. Darcy loved his godson very much. He not only sponsored him to enter the university, but also left him a legacy of [-] pounds.The clever young man also got three thousand pounds in exchange for the priesthood of Pemberley.

Wickham had been in constant connection with Mrs. Young, and although he had received three thousand pounds in exchange for giving up the priesthood, he still regarded that respectable position as his own, and he needed Mrs. Young to communicate to him from time to time. News from the West family.Wickham is good at rhetoric, and Mrs. Young always thought that he was doing well in the city, and he was about to finish his studies in the law school and become a legal adviser to the nobles.

Mrs. Young took Gemma to entreat Wickham's help, hoping to find a respectable position in the house of those noble friends whom Wickham boasted about.Of course she failed, and Mr. Wickham was very impatient with Mrs. Young who was of no use.But the beautiful and impetuous Gemma fell in love with this handsome and wealthy gentleman, and even dated him behind his mother's back.

After Mrs. Young found out, she was almost pissed off. She had found out that this pompous gentleman not only failed to complete his studies, but also owed a lot of debts.Those friends of Wickham's were uninherited rascals, sleazy gamblers, and a number of other mistresses he himself didn't know, and in short, a notorious pauper!

But Gemma is pregnant.

Mrs. Young asked Wickham to marry Gemma, and Wickham bluntly said that he would not marry a lady who had no property, and he had to marry a rich girl.

Wickham had long taken a fancy to Georgiana Darcy, who had a dowry of [-] pounds. He had some friendship with this lady when he was a child. If he married Miss Darcy's family, he would have money and a position.He was willing to maintain a good relationship with Mrs. Young because Mrs. Young was Miss Darcy's housekeeper.Wickham knew a lot about Georgiana from Mrs. Younger, and he was very sure about her character and habits. As long as Miss Darcy was older, he could seduce her to fall in love with him and was willing to elope with him .

To become the son-in-law of the Darcy family, Mrs. Younger is very important, but this stupid woman lost her position, and almost ruined Wickham's perfect plan-Wickham was very panicked, and he spent a lot of money. , the confidence is Miss Darcy.As long as Miss Darcy is seduced, her brother will have to pay the debt for his brother-in-law even if he wants to see God.

No one can expect a little kindness from two selfish people when they are cornered. Mrs. Young and Wickham both naturally thought of the most easy money they had--Georgiana's dowry. .

The plan was very simple. Mrs. Young invited the young lady to visit her, and then, together with Wickham, knocked her unconscious and took her away.Mrs. Young has been with Georgiana for many years. She knows the lady very well, and knows that she has a soft heart and friendship. As long as she is sick, Miss Darcy will definitely come to visit.When the time came, Wickham led the coachman away, and she and her daughter knocked out the unsuspecting young lady and her maid, and then the two women helped the sick girl out of the hotel without attracting attention.

But the two men had very different purposes.

Mrs. Young offered to exchange Georgiana's reputation for a large sum of money, and she had no intention of letting Wickham elope with Miss Darcy.Because Gemma loves Wickham like a demon, and she is pregnant with Wickham's child again. If she can't marry him, Gemma's life will be ruined.

But Wickham wants to be the son-in-law of the Darcy family, he must be the brother-in-law of the annoying Mr. Darcy, and he is very happy as long as he can make Mr. Darcy unhappy.

Mrs. Younger didn't discover Wickham's real intention until she knocked Georgiana unconscious. She was terrified and resentful. If Wickham really insulted Miss Darcy, then she and her daughter would become the only ones between the two parties. Victims: Not only will they not get any benefits, but Mr. Darcy's anger and revenge will be borne by their mother and daughter alone.

"So you sent a letter to the villa?" Mr. Darcy asked with a slow breath.

Mrs. Yange cried and nodded: "Miss Georgiana is only 13 years old, this villain wants to insult her, I can't bear it..."

Elizabeth snorted coldly, how could she not bear it?It was only that it did not suit Mrs. Young's purpose, who was as cruel to Georgiana as she loved her own daughter.

Rakasha told her that the little girl still had a lump on her head.Fortunately, the wound was not hurt, and there was no bloodshed.

"Are you not afraid of being caught?" Elizabeth said, "or do you think that Georgiana is the only master in the villa, and the servants did not find you so quickly. Mrs. Young, you can use this to temporarily stabilize your accomplice, or You can get the money as soon as possible—I guess this accomplice on the ground doesn’t know the content of your letter, so you use this to threaten him?” But Mrs. Younger didn’t expect Mr. Darcy to ride back to London early in the morning because of today’s date, she The paid letter arrived at the villa almost at the same time as Mr. Darcy's.

Mrs. Young stopped crying. She really thought so. She was very familiar with the London villa of the Darcy family. The housekeeper of the villa was Mr. Winton who had no idea. When he conveyed the news to the master, she would have left it long ago. Wickham, with his daughter and Georgiana, hid in the country.

This lady was as vile as Wickham, and when she realized the intention of her accomplice, she quickly changed her mind and wanted to leave Wickham behind to attract the Darcy family's pursuit.She even used Wickham to remind Mr. Darcy that Georgiana's reputation had been damaged, after all, there was a man among the kidnappers.

Mrs. Young told her daughter that if they got the money, Wickham would marry her, and they could go away to their relations in Scotland, where they could start a decent life.Mrs. Young was sure that Mr. Darcy could not have killed Wickham, because Georgiana was still in their hands.

"How are you going to deal with your accomplice?" The young lady looked at the shabby little hotel, and suddenly understood: "You are going to live in this hotel! No wonder there are no other guests. Are you going to knock him out here as well?"

Elizabeth pointed at Wickham, shook her head, and looked at the two expensive bottles of whiskey in the cabinet. These two bottles of wine did not match the dilapidated cabinet: "You plan to get him drunk."

Gemma trembled in Mrs. Young's arms, and she covered her face and began to cry.

Mrs. Young choked with embarrassment: "I booked the hotel—but in fact, even if I don't stay here, the villain Wickham is going to find a place at random. He said that it should be done as soon as possible to avoid accidents!"

Mr. Darcy's hands trembled, and he lifted Wickham by the collar, and pumped his fists with all his might.

There was no warmth in Elizabeth's eyes, and she suddenly remembered that in the lady's memory, Wickham quickly made the truth after luring Lydia to elope. A piece of fat so casually spoiled the body of a young girl, and had no intention of marrying her.He just did it for fun, nothing else, if Mr. Bennet is willing to spend a lot of money to marry this stupid girl, if the Bennet family can't, then treat it as a small vacation-then Wickham did not know at the time that Lydia would have a brother-in-law Darcy.

Even though Lydia was too frivolous and stupid to be sympathetic to her, Miss Elizabeth, as her own sister, still had a grudge.

She sat dignifiedly, calmly watching Mr. Darcy lecture Wickham severely.

Mrs. Young and Gemma hugging each other on the floor tremblingly, Mr. Darcy shaking his fists, Wickham whining and begging for mercy, and the lady who seemed to be at a party and only had a cup of tea...

Mrs. Young was terribly frightened, and she thought the young lady looked even more abnormal than the furious Mr. Darcy.

But Miss Lizzie thought it was her who was pumping her fists to vent her anger——she lowered her eyes carelessly. It seemed that the beating gentleman was not good at close combat, and he wasted a lot of energy. He didn't know where to hit the most pain.

Mr. William said in his letter that he is good at swordsmanship, and his marksmanship is fairly accurate, but he has never practiced fighting skills. Most of the gentlemen in Britain are not good at this—Elizabeth suddenly recovered, and her mood that had just calmed down suddenly returned. Overcast: Lovely Mr. William is odious Darcy!

"It was all this woman's idea! Darcy, Darcy, we grew up together, on a manor house, and loved by your father! You said I was your friend—stop it! Georgiana is all right Yes, please!" Wickham's face was swollen, and he begged in a muffled voice.

Wickham also has a good figure and looks tall and handsome.But it just looked like he might have had a strong physique before leaving Pemberley, but this good physique had long since faded away from his day and night absurdity. Wickham was really powerful.

In the first confrontation between the two before Elizabeth's arrival, Wickham's fist only left a little mark on Mr. Darcy's extraordinarily clean and energetic face, and he himself was beaten too weak to fight back.

Mr. Wickham knew the essence of a rogue very well. He hugged Mr. Darcy's leg, begged and evaded, and added a few threats: "I am your father's godson... and, Georgiana knows you She won't forgive herself for killing someone for her! She'll get sick with fright!"

"Darcy, do you want to be caught and thrown into prison? You have committed murder, and those who covet the Darcy family property will never let you go! You expect Georgiana to keep herself... You have not been convicted." , others can swallow her alive!"

Wickham's face was covered with snot and tears, and his bruised and purple face was even more difficult to see.Even Miss Gemma, who loved him, did not look at him now.

But Wickham was right, he couldn't be beaten to death in public, at most he would be taught a lesson.

However, Jin Guini can, just wait for another location, after they leave.

"Knock knock." Lakasha said softly outside the door: "Miss Anna is about to wake up."

Elizabeth stood up, the matter was clear, and she looked at the little girl next door again, and they would have nothing to do with each other in the future—there was no fresh snacks, no letters, and the communication would not continue.

As for Mr. Darcy's "witness", Elizabeth sneered, what kind of testimony is needed, if the maid who delivered the cakes didn't come back to report every day, she didn't need to intervene at all.

"The servants of your villa..." The lady paused, then raised her chin, and promised indifferently: "My maid will never reveal it."

Mr. Darcy's sweaty hair hangs down, showing a sense of unrestrained sexiness. He said in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss Lizzie, for reminding me."

The housekeeper of the villa is indeed incompetent, and the servants are also incompetent. It is necessary to deal with the aftermath so as not to affect Georgiana's reputation.But most of those troubles and anger dissipated in the soft-hearted reminder of the lady, and Mr. Darcy even felt that he had regained the strength to beat Wickham.

"Let me go! Darcy! You have to promise to let me go!" Wickham panicked, knowing that once Darcy left, the nightmare would begin.

The gentleman put down his rolled-up sleeves, kicked him further away in disgust, and gently asked his beloved lady: "The villa is in a mess, can I let Georgiana stay at your house first..."

Elizabeth was startled, and could hardly hold back her anger: "You are really..." Shameless.

boom!The little girl rushed in in panic, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw two dark and strong maids she didn't know at all. Georgiana was terrified.

"Brother!" Georgiana ran straight over, and then saw Miss Lizzie, the little girl turned around, instead of going to her brother, she put her arms around Miss's waist—Georgianna didn't dare hug Mr. Darcy's waist, The way siblings get along can't do that.

"Georgiana!" "Miss Georgiana!"

Both Wickham and Mrs. Young rushed forward, hoping to impress the soft-hearted young lady.

This practice is disgusting.

Elizabeth pushed the little girl's hand away.

Wickham was particularly unwilling to give up. Georgiana liked him more than Darcy when she was a child. They were really close, and they were more like a family than Darcy.Wickham seized the little girl by the skirt, and demanded her pardon, in order to have a way out of his brother.

Georgiana grew pale with his fright, for the lady was very clever, and she almost guessed something of the truth when she saw Mrs Young with Wickham.

Elizabeth's white apron was smeared with several dirty handprints by Wickham, and Georgiana hugged her so tightly that she almost squeezed into her chest.

Miss Lizzie was holding her breath, and her face was flushed with anger. She picked up her beloved pistol with one hand and pointed it straight at Wickham, intending to give him a pellet if he posted it again.

The strong maid stepped forward to separate them, and Mr. Darcy asked the two ladies to go downstairs first. His personal servant nodded, indicating that he had been keeping an eye on the people inside.

Seeing that the last hope was gone, Wickham's begging for mercy turned into swearing, and the injured tongue mumbled words that were unbearable.

Not only Mr. Darcy, Miss Darcy, but even old Darcy and innocent Elizabeth are left alone.

Elizabeth's forehead jumped once, and then again.It's not easy for her to endure until now, but some people always want to puncture the last bit of the young lady's rational demeanor.

"Shut up!"

Lakasha's thick palm took over from the young lady's hand to cover the little girl's ears.

Elizabeth waved away the hand of Mr. Darcy, who was courteous and wanted to block her from swearing.

Turn around and go up the steps in three or two steps.

"Lizzie!" interrupted Mr. Darcy.

The aggressive lady returned to the second floor with a gun in hand.

"Continue." The young lady pushed open the door and said to the inside with a blank expression.

Wickham's eyes widened.

After two deafening gunshots, everyone trembled.

"See? This is the lesson." Miss Lizzie smiled slightly at Mr. Darcy who was chasing after him, her eyes resting for a while on the place four inches below his navel.

'Just like the online dating in the previous life, she died after seeing the light, what kind of demeanor is there! Miss Elizabeth let out a breath, thinking viciously.

In the room, Gemma covered her face and screamed, while Wickham covered his crotch and rolled and howled.

The first bullet grazed his trousers and punched a hole in the floor—and as Wickham fell back in fright, the second bullet grazed precisely between his legs and punched another hole in the floor.Thanks to Mr. Wickham's finesse: his stylish tights made the target visible at a glance, and the projectile had indeed made close contact with the target and left a burnt mark on the trousers.

Don't know if it's an egg or a stick, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Miss' marksmanship is very accurate.And let out a bad breath.

The author has something to say: Miss Lizzie: stick and egg, choose one!

Sexually sweaty Mr. Darcy: a chill all over

Georgiana: My brother's love depends entirely on you...

Two more in one.There is no way to split the plot, and the fish will be updated only after it has been written.The writing is very smooth, but there may be places that are not rigorous, and I will change it tomorrow.Comment on this chapter to send [-] small red envelopes~
