[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

The candlelight is flickering, and the warm temperature is transmitted from the candle core to the heart.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the study, and then the door was knocked open by Lydia.

She was wearing a pale yellow high-waisted dress and had a ruddy complexion. It looked like she had just come from the ring and watched Tom Lefroy fight.It's just that there are two lines of tears in the corners of the eyes that are very obvious, and the emotion seems a little agitated.

She was holding a newspaper and a dozen thick envelopes in her hand. Elizabeth glanced at it from a distance, but didn't find anything unique.

Elizabeth was a little confused. She wanted to hold her sister's hand and let her sit on a chair and talk about it, but unexpectedly, she pushed her away.

"What's the matter, Lydia? Mr. Lefroy is bullying you again?" She patted her head, but Lydia turned away again.

"fraud!"

"What?" Elizabeth glanced at Mr. Darcy, who was also confused.

Lydia cried, "Elizabeth, you are a liar, a liar!"

Just one sentence made her cry again.The two lines of tears were like the continuous drizzle of the past few days, flowing non-stop from the corners of the eyes.

Elizabeth wanted to ask why and comfort her many times, but was interrupted impatiently by Lydia.

"What happened, Lydia? Will you tell me?"

"You know it yourself!"

"I—" Elizabeth was speechless, she still couldn't figure it out.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Lydia."

Perhaps it was the seriousness in Elizabeth's tone that restrained Lydia's indulgent emotions.But she was still unconvinced, unwilling to sit down, and just stared at Elizabeth dryly.

"What happened?" Elizabeth's flattering tone contained a trace of helplessness.Who made her her sister.

Darcy snickered from the sidelines. It seemed that such a scene also happened when Georgiana was a child.They were all small, everyday things, and he believed Elizabeth could handle them well.

Lydia's tears had stopped falling, but her small mouth was still pouting angrily.She threw the newspaper and envelope in her hand on the table, then ran out of the study without saying anything.

Her footsteps were so hard that Elizabeth could tell she was walking up the stairs to the room on the second floor.

"Mr. Darcy." Elizabeth said helplessly, "Please forgive me that I may not be able to continue chatting with you. Now it seems that my sister may need me very much."

"If you want," said Darcy, "I hope I can be of help. Georgiana had a rebellious period when she was a child, just before she and Wickham happened. During that time, I was sometimes called by her. This kind of unexplained anger disturbs me. But it’s only a short month, and I believe that as long as the guidance is good, this period will pass quickly.”

"You are really experienced." Elizabeth blinked, "Then please help me look at the clues left by Lydia, maybe we can find the reason from these newspapers and letters."

When the word "letter" was mentioned, Elizabeth suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

Darcy casually picked up a newspaper, and paced the room while flipping through it.While looking at him, Elizabeth recalled the intersection with Lydia in the past two days.

The moment he walked to the window, she clearly felt his footsteps stop.

"What happened?" Elizabeth felt something was wrong.

By this time Darcy had completely stopped pacing casually, and stood by the window like a statue.But the statue was not perfectly still—Elizabeth noticed that his hands were shaking, the color of his face was slowly fading, and his eyes were icy, as if he had seen something beloved destroyed.

The situation at this time was beyond Elizabeth's control. She dragged her tired body to stand up, and also walked to the place where Lydia piled up the letters.

Before taking a closer look, Elizabeth discovered the problem just by scanning it.

What kind of insignificant letter is this, this is obviously all the correspondence between TheLady and Lydia!

So - Lydia now obviously knows that she is The Lady.That's why she said the very angry words just now.

Even though she is her older sister, Elizabeth still communicates with Lydia under another identity incognito.Lydia gave her heart completely to the stranger, only to discover in the end that it was a "hoax".Therefore, the sentence "Elizabeth, you are a big liar" is completely true, and there is nothing unrealistic about it.

big liar.

Elizabeth rubbed her temples with a headache.

Being accused by her sister like this made her feel very uncomfortable.It's just that there seems to be another person right now who needs her to comfort her.

Darcy had put down the paper by this time, and was pacing up and down the room again.He frowned, thinking hard.

Miss Elizabeth is the author of "Pride and Prejudice", there should be signs already, right?Mr. Elton, he thought, obviously knew about this matter, and now it seems that he was also helpful in publishing it.

No wonder Mr. Elton had a close relationship with Miss Elizabeth when they first met at Sir Lucas's house; no wonder they exchanged heavy letters within a few days of their acquaintance.Now it seems that this is not their emotional communication at that time, but the business.

Thinking of this, a distorted smile suddenly appeared on Darcy's distressed face.But then the smile disappeared.

Miss Elizabeth's attention to the book "Pride and Prejudice" also seems to be extraordinary.Every time she talks about the author, she has a subtle expression.Not to mention what happened when I met Editor-in-Chief Tom and Mr. Elton at the Ladies Magazine last time.

It seemed that he was the only one who was there at the time and didn't know the truth.

……

What did he say?

Thinking of this, Darcy's distressed face became darker and darker.Elizabeth watched the change of his expression, and felt that a piece of flesh was being pulled in her heart, and she felt a faint pain.

She didn't quite know what he was thinking, so she called "Mr. Darcy" in a low voice.

Darcy didn't answer, he didn't seem to hear, and his full attention returned to the paper.It's a pity that Lydia only brought a newspaper, and she couldn't know what it was about.

But it must be talking about the relationship between "Elizabeth Bennett" and "The Lady".

She can imagine that before being exposed, even critics are just chasing rumors.But now her true identity is exposed—a person who has never experienced any wars, a girl who grew up in the countryside, a person who is in contact with all countrymen, a priest, a landlord, and the author of a small lawyer, how much experience can she have? Woolen cloth?

Therefore, the remarks in the newspapers must be unbearable to read.

Elizabeth knew that one day, her role as the author of "Pride and Prejudice" would be revealed to the world-actively or passively.

But she didn't expect this day to come so early.Obviously not long ago, she had just discussed this work with Mr. Darcy.

She is very concerned about what the outside world thinks of her and her works, but now she is more concerned about what Mr. Darcy in front of her thinks of her.

Elizabeth saw his frowning and worry, and felt that her heart was more disturbed.

The author has something to say:

Don't abuse, don't abuse, don't abuse!Say the important thing three times~ Mr. Darcy will have a little temper, he is not a holy father, and he has shortcomings, so he will naturally express dissatisfaction with Liz's concealment~ But it will be better after the next/two chapters, and it will be sweeter !

Going out to play during the Spring Festival, it may be updated every two days~ (Of course I will work hard to update every day!) If there is no update at [-] o'clock every night, cuties, don't wait.
