[Pride and Prejudice] Another Spring of "Scumbags"

In the early morning of the next day, Wickham left Meryton with everyone's reluctance. Lydia, who hadn't been separated from her husband for many years, was in a panic, and Mrs. Bennet just threw her nose and tears at her. Come over and hold her in his arms and cry loudly, Lydia also shed a few lines of uncontrollable tears.

Jane looked at her mother and sister who were embracing and crying with complicated expressions, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was looking forward to Lizzie's arrival more than she did now - Lizzie must know how to face the situation in front of her.

Not long after Wickham left, Elizabeth, who was getting closer to Mr. Darcy in Derbyshire, received a letter from her sister.

Everything Jane described in the letter made Elizabeth's face turn pale almost instantly.It just so happened that Mr. Darcy was sitting beside Elizabeth when the maid brought in the letter, and he quickly noticed Elizabeth's suddenly pale complexion, based on the most basic virtues of a gentleman and his growing admiration for Elizabeth It is rare for Mr. Darcy to have an inquiring mind about other people's feelings.

He hesitated for a while, and asked Elizabeth nervously what happened, which caused her to panic like this.

"——You can completely regard me as your reliance." He just didn't hint that Elizabeth relied on him so blatantly.

And these days, Elizabeth, who really has a better impression of him, just hesitated for a few minutes before handing her sister's letter to the other party, "I have to go to my uncle now—while there is still room for redemption —I must get back to Longbourne as soon as possible," she said to Mr. Darcy, who had not expected her to deliver the letter.

The flattered Mr. Darcy almost read Jane's long letter from Meryton at a glance, and he quickly realized the seriousness of it. He knew George Wickham's nature very well, and he stood up almost immediately, "I will order the servants to prepare a carriage for you." He said without hesitation.But he didn't take the liberty to mention that he also wanted to go to Longbourn with Elizabeth - after all, this is the wife of the Bennett family, and he is still just an outsider.

Elizabeth gave Darcy a grateful look, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and went to find her uncle and aunt.

After hearing his niece's description, Mr. Gardner immediately made a decision to set off immediately. However, they were unlucky. They had just packed their luggage and were ready to go. An express letter from London prevented Mr. Gardner from running towards Longbourne. pace of.

"Mr. Darcy, I can only entrust you with everything." Mr. Gardner, who had made mistakes in two jewelry stores in London, held Mr. Darcy's hand tightly and said.

Mr. Darcy, who had just been asked by Mr. Gardner to escort the female relatives to Longbourne, wished for it and said something.

So Elizabeth and her aunt, Mrs. Gardner, were escorted back to Longbourn by an unexpected gentleman.

When their carriage appeared in Jane's eyes, the eldest lady of the Bennet family almost cried with joy.

"Oh! Lizzie! It's Lizzie!" Jane, who has been struggling to eat these days and anxious, greeted her ecstatically like a drowning person grabbing driftwood.

"Oh, dear Lizzie, you're back at last, you don't know how much I miss you, oh God! You don't know what I've been through these days!"

Jane, who was extremely emotional, hugged Elizabeth tightly and refused to let go—until she saw Mr. Darcy who got off his horse and never expected to appear here again.

"... Dar... Mr. Darcy?!"

"Hello, Miss Bennett." Master Pemberley bowed slightly to salute Jane with a stern face, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth.

It seemed to be a smile of kindness.

"Hello, Mr. Darcy, I'm so glad to meet you." Because she was emotional, she didn't notice Mr. Darcy's gesture of goodwill. Jane hurriedly raised her skirt to return the gift, and looked at her sister with blue eyes full of puzzlement. .

"...Mr. Darcy came back with my aunt and me," Elizabeth blushed unnaturally, "Uncle asked him specifically." She said vaguely, watching Mr. Darcy walk back to the four rounds In front of the covered carriage, he personally helped Mrs. Gardner out of it. "Where's Dad? Why isn't he at home? And Mommy and Mary?" Elizabeth, who thought everyone would come out to greet her, looked for her relatives everywhere.

A look of helplessness suddenly appeared on Jane's face, "They are all in the town, and Mom is very angry that Dad doesn't want to marry Lydia to Mr. Wickham right now, blaming him for making things difficult for a lover—until now. Ken is back, Dad has just been invited by the tenant farmers on the village."

"Why is Mom so confused!" Even though she had learned her mother's unreliability, Elizabeth still stomped her feet angrily.

Jane smiled wryly, and just about to say something, Mrs. Gardner came over with a smile on her face and warmly embraced her other niece, "Dear Jane, I finally see you again, Lizzie received your letter But I was so panicked," she said with concern, "Can you tell us the specific situation? Until now, I haven't figured out what's going on."

Jane frowned slightly, and the wry smile on her face became more intense, "It's not just you who find it inexplicable—even my father and I are also full of confusion. Lydia suddenly came back with Mr. Wickham, saying that they are in love with each other. To be with you forever—”

Hearing this, Darcy frowned indistinctly.

"Our little sister doesn't have much dowry for him to squander," said Elizabeth, who had a bad impression of the gentleman, frowning. "He must have some other conspiracy that we don't know about."

"Is that Mr. Wickham really that bad? Maybe you should give him a chance to defend himself." Mrs. Gardner looked at her angry niece and suggested softly.

——Although she also felt that the handsome and somewhat over-the-top gentleman was indeed a bit glib and seemed unreliable.

"Dear aunt, it's totally unnecessary." Elizabeth quickly glanced at Mr. Darcy, who was condensed. "I'm sure that Mr. Darcy is not a good person. He's really bad to the bone!"

"... Lizzie," Jane held her sister's hand reassuringly, "don't worry, things haven't reached the worst point yet, Dad has already made up his mind about Lydia's impulsiveness—I didn't tell you in the letter Well, we still have two years to dissuade Lydia from spending her life with that gentleman."

For some reason, when she said this sentence, what appeared in Jane's mind was the picture of the gentleman with tender eyes kissing his sister's forehead affectionately, and the sentence with promise and firmness: baby, be good Wait for me at home, wait for me to come and pick you up.

Jane's expression was a little hesitant for a moment.

Elizabeth didn't notice the strangeness of her eldest sister, and eased her emotions in agreement, "You are right, who else understands Lydia's temperament better than us, she likes to love the new and dislike the old, I believe that as long as there is another good-looking Excellent sir, she'll change her mind in no time and admire someone else."

"Who would say that about my sister!" Mrs. Gardner, who was watching, couldn't laugh or cry.

Elizabeth, who realized that she had slipped her tongue, blushed, and said to Jane subtly, "My good sister, let Auntie and Mr. Darcy go in and have a rest first, we've had a long journey."

Jane, who also realized that she was a little rude, apologized to the guests and welcomed them into the house in person.

After sitting for a while, Mr. Bennett, who was notified by his eldest daughter, hurried in.

After shaking hands with Mr. Darcy, he went to ask Mrs. Gardner why her husband, Mr. Gardner, had not come together—he remembered that they were traveling together.

Mrs. Gardner hastened to tell her husband that he had intended to come with them, but had been caught up in trouble, and she gave a succinct account of the bad things that had happened in London.

Mr. Bennett understood this, and at the same time was curious about the reason why everyone came here. "I thought you should travel for a while." He looked at his favorite daughter and said.

Elizabeth choked on his attitude as if nothing had happened, "Father, do you think I'm a bad daughter? My younger sister has proposed marriage, and you still want to continue traveling?"

"Marriage proposal does not mean marriage," Mr. Bennett said calmly. "You are all grown up. It is normal for someone to appreciate me and ask me to marry you." Master Pemberley with a straight back, "Mr. Darcy, do you think I'm right?"

"Daddy!" Elizabeth jumped up and screamed like a cat whose tail has been stepped on.A trace of embarrassment and hope flashed across Mr. Darcy's eyes.

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't marry you five sisters without doing anything," Mr. Bennett looked at his two daughters and smiled, "I will take good care of you."

"That's not what we're going to talk about now," Elizabeth waved her hands anxiously, "I heard from Jane that you signed a two-year contract with George Wickham?"

Mr. Bennet's face suddenly darkened.

"If it wasn't for your mother to intervene, I would have sent that bastard a long time ago." God knows his youngest daughter is 15 years old!

Both Jane and Elizabeth were relieved by Mr. Bennet's statement without hesitation, "Dad, you mean you don't think he is suitable for Lydia, right?"

"...No, you can't say that," Mr. Bennet shook his head hesitantly, not being seduced by the hopeful eyes of the two daughters, "Although George Wickham covets my 15-year-old daughter, but I I can feel his sincerity from his performance, and if he can really fulfill my request, it would be fine to marry him to Wickham when your sister becomes an adult."

"Father! Lydia can't marry George Wickham!" Elizabeth's face changed when she heard this. "He's not a good man!"

"I know that the matter between him and Miss King makes you dislike him, but you should understand him," Mr. Bennett said calmly, "We all know that marriage is based on status and wealth, Wick It is not shameful for Mr. Mu to want to get something for nothing. There are as many people like him in this world as stars, but—a person like him who is willing to change his past for a girl and promises to rely on his own efforts to support his wife and children But there are very few, Jane, Lizzie, we can't see people in the same way."

"Father, it's not that we have to look at people with old eyes, but that Wickham is not trustworthy at all. Make up your mind. Dad, you don't know what he has done!" Elizabeth was so angry that she almost The secret Mr. Darcy had told her fell out.Fortunately——she quickly realized her impulse, closed her lips tightly, and at the same time did not forget to give Mr. Darcy an apologetic look.

"What did you do? What?" Mr. Bennet looked at his daughter puzzled.

"...Sorry, Dad, I can't say it," Elizabeth's face was extremely ugly, "It's a bad thing that is not worthy of forgiveness!"

"Lizzie..." Mr. Bennett looked at his daughter in a ridiculous way, as if he was looking at a vexatious toddler.

Mr. Bennet's eyes and expression made Elizabeth almost faint like this. At this moment, Mr. Darcy said suddenly, "Miss Elizabeth, since I told you the matter, I believe in your integrity and believe in your integrity. You will keep what I said a secret—now, your sister is about to face the same situation as my sister, I allow you to tell your father everything I told you, I believe his choice may change by then .”

"Oh, Mr. Darcy, I really don't know how to thank you." Elizabeth's eyes were red.

"What charades are you playing?" Mr. Bennet looked suspiciously back and forth between his daughter and Mr. Darcy.

The author has something to say: I didn't apply for the list, but I was shocked to find that I had been on the list for several days!

Fifteen thousand on the list!It's due at twelve o'clock tomorrow night! ! ! ! ! !
