Collins went out on a "pilgrimage" with a face full of glory, leaving Wickham's expression constantly changing.

"Miss Elizabeth, I really don't understand why the people around Mr. Darcy give me trumped-up charges, which makes me feel uneasy." Wickham said with a wry smile.

Elizabeth asked: "Did you offend Mr. Darcy?"

Wickham didn't expect the other party to ask such a direct question, so he paused for a second before continuing to make up: "How could such a thing happen? I think it must be out of jealousy. Old Mr. Darcy loved me very much when he was alive, It has irritated him since he was a child. He is narrow-minded and cannot bear me to compete with him, or to be better than him.[1] He has been in Meryton for nearly a month, and I think everyone has understood his insolence. character?"

"Mr. Darcy is really not very good at talking, but his pride is justified." Charlotte said, "A good young man like him, with a good family background and money, is better than others in everything. The right is so proud[2].”

"Unfortunately, I could have been like him." A trace of resentment flashed in Wickham's eyes. "Before the old Mr. Darcy died, he promised me a priesthood. But because Mr. Darcy was jealous of my talent, he was jealous of me. His father's preference for me gave the priesthood to others, and drove me out of Pemberley Manor."

"Priest? My God, please open your eyes." Collins didn't know when he came in through the door, "Mr. Thief, with all due respect, a priest with your moral character will make the world lose face before God. As for I should applaud Mr. Darcy for throwing you out of Pemberley Park, it's so flattering!"

Just at this time, Lydia and Kitty came out from the inner room, saw Collins' triumphant and Wickham's gloomy faces, and asked curiously: "Cousin, what do you think of our dear Mr. Wickham?" What's the matter? Look at him, he doesn't look good at all."

Lydia is essentially a 3-minute hot girl. Now that she sees this interesting scene, she has long forgotten her previous obsession with Wickham, and her words are mostly for fun.

This made Elizabeth feel relieved.I didn't expect Mr. Collins to be so useful. He made such a fuss, and Wickham lost his demeanor in a wrong way. When Wickham lost his demeanor, Lydia's admiration and admiration for him naturally decreased greatly.

Lydia is a very proud girl in her bones. Elizabeth felt that the reason why she admired Wickham in her previous life was because he was a star-studded existence when he first came to Longbourn.At first, the little girl felt that it was a very proud thing to be favored by such a character.

But now, on the contrary, because of Collins, Wickham became a street rat when he first arrived in Meryton, and he was beaten in the head everywhere he went.

"Cousin." Collins pretended to be modest, "I just exposed the crime of this Mr. Thief, so that more people will not be confused by him."

"Mr. Thief?" cried Lydia. "You mean Wickham?"

"Yes, he's a thief in Pemberley Manor. Mr. Darcy kicked him out of the house for stealing things. I don't know why he's in the regiment now, oh yes, the regiment. I don't think the good people in the militia have seen through Mr. Thief." My true face, dear God, I really need to do something."

Wickham's face was flushed, and he was about to let go of his demeanor and burst out, but when he saw Darcy walking towards the door, his face turned pale instantly.

Seeing this scene, Collins prayed in a low voice: "Dear God, please forgive my mistake. I didn't want Mr. Darcy to see the criminal thief, so I said that Miss Bingley was at the side door. As a result, he They asked me why I appeared in this place with great concern, and I had to say that I accompanied my cousin and friends to choose hats."

"Dear God, I didn't tell anything about the thief. Mr. Darcy just came in. Please let this evil man disappear at once, dear God, it is mine to upset Mr. Darcy." It was wrong. I pray to you in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen."

Collins opened his eyes, surprised to see that Darcy passed Wickham without looking at him, and stopped in front of Elizabeth.

"Miss Elizabeth. Coincidentally, we meet again," he said.

Mr. Thief really disappeared?He rubbed his eyes, stepped forward three steps, and then grabbed Wickham's clothes.With a great movement, he pulled his red uniform out of his trousers in one fell swoop.

Wickham blushed immediately: "Mr. Collins?!"

Lydia and Kitty laughed badly beside them.

"Sorry." Collins said seriously, "I have no other meaning, please don't get me wrong. It is absolutely impossible for me to have any thoughts about you, absolutely impossible. I swear in the name of God."

"I have no idea about you, Mr. Collins!"

"That's wonderful, thank God. I'm a priest, and I must never have anything to do with thieves, and one-way won't be tolerated."

As he spoke, he twisted a corner of the red uniform in disgust, pulled Wickham's uniform pants back, and stuffed the clothes into it.Due to the excessive range of motion, things that should not be exposed were exposed during the process.

It happened that the ladies on the side were all paying attention here.

Wickham was ashamed: "Mr. Collins?!"

"You're welcome." Collins said, "I know you're going to express your thanks, but I'm sorry I can't accept a thief's thanks because it doesn't fit my identity."

"It's just ridiculous."

Wickham just wants to stay away from Collins at the moment.If he was going to stay in the Bennet family for a long time, then he had to consider giving up Miss Elizabeth as a prey.

Although a little reconciled-Miss Elizabeth seems to come from a country gentleman family with a good dowry.

Reluctantly, he glanced at Elizabeth affectionately, only to find that she was holding the light yellow hat in her hand, talking and laughing happily with Mr. Darcy.

Fitzwilliam Darcy!

How long has he just been here, and the people here have been blinded by his money?

Wickham gritted his teeth angrily, but he never dared to show the slightest bit.Because not to mention his past with Darcy, there is also an ignorant but fierce Collins staring at him, which made him lose face in front of the ladies today.

What happened today, he will slowly seek "justice" in the future.Wickham thought, just as he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful lady walking out of the inner room out of the corner of his eye.

The red dress is bright and the green hat is charming—not the one Collins chose, of course—like a walking Christmas tree, which makes Wickham's eyes shine immediately.

He stopped and looked at this lady with his pair of blue eyes unabashedly. Through her attire, her etiquette, and her self-cultivation, he could tell that this was a lady with a large dowry. girl.

Wickham looked back at Elizabeth again, at Jane, Lydia, Kitty, and Charlotte, and suddenly felt that all the ladies in the room were overshadowed by the rich lady.

[-] pounds, he estimated, probably such a worth, worth a fight.

--

Miss Bingley was a little distracted by Wickham's look, because she had visited countless wealthy homes with her brother, and had never seen such a beautiful young man.

Although appearance is still far behind her identity and status in her heart, it does not prevent her heart from beating heavily following his gaze.

There seemed to be a lot of noise outside just now, and it seems that this gentleman caused it.

The Miss Bennets circled round the gentleman, and now he looked at himself in this way.Thinking of this, Miss Bingley's vanity was satisfied.

She nodded slightly in Wickham's direction and caught him smiling at her.

OMG, that smile!Miss Bingley felt that her heart was about to melt, and she looked away uncomfortably.When she mustered up the courage to look in that direction again, she found that the other party had disappeared.

A sense of loss subconsciously surged in her heart.

Wickham watched this scene through the glass outside the store, and smiled slyly like a fox watching its prey.

The author has something to say:

The villains are all here, so let's make trouble slowly!

Read with me, no cp, no cp, no cp~ I think Miss Bingley still has some IQ haha.
