don't touch my darcy

"What's the letter from Pemberley?" Mrs. Sulton excitedly handed the letter to her son, "If I guess right, it must be an invitation to dinner. I can see that Mr. Darcy's family I like you very much, Lancer, Ivy."

After breakfast, Miss Sulton chatted with Mrs. Sulton for a while, feeling bored, ready to go back to her room and practice etiquette in front of the mirror alone.

Because she learned that the Earl of Hudders is Mr. Darcy's distant uncle, so Mr. Darcy will definitely be present at the Earl's birthday party next month. Since Baron Sulton has also received the invitation, she will definitely not Will miss any chance to meet the male god.

As soon as she heard that Pemberley had received a letter, she hurried back to the living room, sat on the sofa, flipped through the book absently, and waited for Lancer to read the letter.

Lancer flipped through the letter between his fingers, and saw that the handwriting on the envelope was beautiful and smooth, as if it was not written by a man. He couldn't help wondering whether this letter was written by Mrs. Darcy or Miss Darcy.

He opened the envelope, and addressed the honorable Lord Baron Sulton and Mrs. Sulton. He couldn't wait to read the signature, and it really was your friend, Elizabeth Darcy.

"It's from Mrs. Darcy, mother."

"Mrs. Darcy?"

"Yes mother, Mrs. Darcy said, Mr. Darcy has gone to London." Lancer began to read the contents of the letter.

What, the male god went to London?

The Pemberley Manor without Mr. Darcy is completely unattractive to her. It is true that Miss Darcy is cute, but it is not enough for her to pay her friendship without the male god.

Miss Sulton's interest in this letter dropped by more than half.

"Mrs. Darcy invited us to dine at Pemberley tomorrow evening. Her best friends, Mr. and Mrs. Collins, are here. If it is possible, she would like to introduce you to us."

"Mr. Collins, oh, that ridiculous fellow!" Miss Sulton immediately laughed when she heard the name.

The clown-like man in the original novel left a deep impression on her. Seriously speaking, as far as Elizabeth's conditions are concerned, he is actually a good match for her cousin, isn't it?

In the end, she proudly rejected his marriage proposal, which made the old maid Charlotte Lucas in vain.

"Why, you know Mr. Collins?" Lancer asked in surprise.

"Oh, baby, when did you know him? We should have never been in touch with this gentleman." Mrs. Sulton's nervousness was evident.

"Ah, no, no, I don't know why, but when I heard this surname, I thought it was ridiculous." Miss Sulton was at a loss for words for a while, she didn't dare to look Mrs. Sulton in the eyes, regretting her rashness.

"It's just a very common surname, Ivy, what's so funny?" Miss Sulton's random explanation didn't convince Lancer at all.

Fortunately, Mrs. Sulton had her own ideas. She gave her son winks frequently, signaling him not to ask any more questions.

She didn't know who else she had contact with during the days when her daughter eloped, let alone Mr. Collins!

God bless, Ivy just completely forgot that part of the past, and it would be terrible to remember anything because of seeing this gentleman.

"I think, in fact, we don't have to go. The window glass of the carriage is broken, and it's too late to fix it, isn't it? And your father may not be able to come back tomorrow." Mrs. Sulton was worried and wanted to cancel the trip, " I think Mrs. Darcy can understand."

"Why not? Mom, the carriage is not a problem. Ivy and I can go on horseback." For Lancer, seeing Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy was the most enjoyable thing.

"Yes, Lancer, you are right, we can't live up to the good intentions of others, how about this, you go on horseback, I won't go, maybe this way you young people can communicate more happily, Ivy, if you If you don't want to go, just stay with your mother."

It was one thing to worry about her daughter, but Mrs. Sulton would not let go of every opportunity to bring her son close to Miss Darcy.

"No, Mom, I want to see Georgiana too." Miss Sulton also wanted to see how ridiculous Mr. Collins was.

And his wife, who is often considered "smart" by readers, is actually just a humble woman who lives for the storage room.

Alas, there was not enough of all to interest her, unless Mr. Darcy returned early.

Of course, her male god didn't come back early, but on the way to Pemberley, an accident happened, and it was really bad for the Salton brothers and sisters.

They went out in the evening of the next day, the sun had just set, and the glowing red light stretched from Rose Manor to the end of the maple forest, in the direction of Pemberley, and the weather looked very good.

The two set off from Qiangwei Manor on horseback. Because they had plenty of time, they were not in a hurry, but watched the scenery with confidence.

Lancer said that it was a very good idea to spend the summer here, which was much better than enduring the heat in London; and Miss Sulton thought that one day in the future, she might become the daughter of this large and beautiful land. Master, I am very excited.

It is an unshakable law that the time-traveling girl defeats the original girl. Besides, all my conditions are much better than Elizabeth's. Now that the Darcy brothers and sisters are full of affection for her, why not make Miss Sulton full of confidence?

And very timely, God came to help again.

When they were talking and laughing all the way, when they were not three miles away from Pemberley, the sky suddenly darkened, the wind picked up suddenly, and the dark clouds surged. It looked like a thunderstorm.

"Damn the weather! Come on, Ivy, we have to work harder!" Lancer cursed, and immediately stepped up.

Although Miss Sulton could ride a horse, she was not proficient enough after all, and the elder brother had to turn around to take care of her frequently. When the Pemberley House was in the distance, the downpour finally came down.

"Oh, my God, what's the matter with you?" Elizabeth couldn't help exclaiming as she looked at the Sulton brothers and sisters who were in a state of distress. They looked like they had just been fished out of the water.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Darcy, we are here on horseback, Haqiu—" Lancer looked up to the sky and sneezed very impolitely, smiling wryly.

"Mrs. Reynolds, please take Mr. Sulton to Darcy's room to change clothes. Miss Sulton, please come with me!"

"Yes, Mrs. Darcy, I have put the kitchen on hot water."

After a lot of fuss, the Salton brothers and sisters finally packed up and returned to the living room.

Lancer wore Mr. Darcy's clothes, while Miss Sulton borrowed Miss Darcy's. Looking at her brother's clothes on Mr. Sulton's body, besides being handsome and straight, there was a sense of intimacy. , Georgiana's heart was secretly happy again.

Mary seemed to be more self-controlled. Although she felt pity for Mr. Shalton's embarrassment in her heart, she just followed behind her sister and close friends, politely sent her greetings, and did not express any more.

At the dinner, Elizabeth introduced Mr. and Mrs. Collins to the Sulton brothers and sisters, and she did not disappoint Ms. Sulton. After expressing his sympathy for their encounter with the rain for 5 minutes, Mr. Collins expressed that he had never seen Shalton. Mrs. Dunton's regret, and it is a great honor to introduce the relationship between myself and Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, as well as the origin of the duchess, baroness and old Mrs. Darcy.

Charlotte finally interrupted her husband without a trace, saying that Mr. and Miss Sulton must know more about the beautiful friendship between the ladies. As for the recent situation of the respected Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, It's better to save the report when you see the baroness, I believe only she will be interested in knowing.

Without Darcy, Elizabeth could laugh all she wanted, and she was glad that the wit and wit of her confidant had not been blotted out by the tedium of life.

At this time, Lancer could only smile helplessly. Even though he was smart enough, he was at a loss for words to deal with this Mr. Collins. Fortunately, Mrs. Collins, like Mrs. Darcy, is a lady with a full sense of humor. Very different from her husband.

And Miss Sulton was holding back her laughter, and intentionally let others see that she was already holding back her smile very tolerantly.

When the dinner was over and Elizabeth ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks, Miss Sulton said she felt very unwell. Seeing that her cheeks were burning, the hostess touched her forehead quickly. Unfortunately, she really had a fever.

Mrs. Darcy could only ask Miss Sulton to stay in Pemberley temporarily with great apology, and asked her brother to stay with him, and also sent someone to report to Rose Manor. Please rest assured that the old lady will invite the best The doctor came to treat Miss Sulton.

It is such a coincidence that, just like the dramatic plot in the original book where Jane stayed at Netherfield Manor due to illness, our time-traveling heroine can finally live in Pemberley logically, waiting for the return of her male god!

Chapter 40 Mary's Late Spring and Early Summer

In the morning, when Lancer Sulton visited her sister in her room, Mrs. and Miss Darcy were already there.

"Please don't worry, Miss Sulton's fever has subsided, as long as she continues to take the medicine, I believe she will recover soon." Elizabeth comforted him with a busy smile.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Darcy." Lancer expressed his sincere thanks.

Last night, Mrs. Darcy invited a doctor to give Ivy a diagnosis and treatment, and specially arranged for a maid to take care of her. She also specially ordered that if Miss Sulton felt unwell, she must come and tell her, and sent a servant to Rose Manor at any time. Send a letter to Mrs. Sulton, explaining why the siblings cannot go back, and promise to take good care of Miss Sulton. Before she recovers, please rest assured to live in Pemberley.

Not only was Mrs. Darcy attentive, Lancer also noticed carefully that Miss Darcy had brought her needlework. It seemed that she planned to stay here all the time, and accompany her sister while doing needlework.

"I believe that under your careful care, Ivy will recover soon." Lancer said this while looking at Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy. He was really grateful to the two ladies in Pemberley .

"But, I, I still feel a severe headache." Miss Sulton moaned weakly while holding her forehead.

She didn't want to go home so soon, at least until she saw Mr. Darcy, she would never be cured, although a little trick was needed, but what was it?

She couldn't believe it. In the original novel, Elizabeth's sister, Jane, was so ill that she had to stay at Netherfield Manor. She obviously used this to get close to Mr. Bingley, and by the way, she created a chance for Elizabeth to get in touch with Mr. Darcy!

"So, do you need me to let my mother come to see you?" Lancer asked helplessly.

"Ah, no need. If you can, you can write another letter to your mother, telling her that everything is fine, and let her not worry."

Of course, Miss Sulton didn't want her mother to come. Once Mrs. Sulton came and found that the baby girl was not that seriously ill, she would definitely insist on letting her go back to Rose Manor so that she could take care of her personally.

"Okay then, I'll write a letter to thank you for taking care of Ivy, Miss Darcy." Lancer bowed to Georgiana in particular, and when he looked up, he sent a slight smile to show that he understood her kindness.

Georgiana's cheeks became hot, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending to be fiddling with the half-embroidered pillowcase in the dustpan.

Leaving Miss Sulton's guest room, Lancer planned to go back to his own room and write another letter to Mrs. Sulton to reassure her that she would not have to turn to visit Miss Sulton, otherwise her family would be crowded. In Pemberley Manor, it would be too much trouble for the master.

When he reached the stairs, he happened to meet Mary coming down from the third floor. She was wearing a cloak, carrying an umbrella and a handbag, and she knew she was going out at a glance.

The moment she saw Lancer, Mary's indifferent face seemed to have a bright but short-lived smile. Before the former could even be seen clearly, she regained her calm look, took a step back, and gave Lancer a slight nod. I was about to walk past him and go downstairs.

"Miss Bennett?" Lancer felt that it seemed inappropriate to just pass by like this, so he took the initiative to say hello.

"Morning, Mr. Sulton." Mary had to turn around now, but her tone was still not enthusiastic.

"Are you planning to go out?"

"Well, I'm going to the mission school, and Mr. Reed is back today giving the children a theology class."

"Aha, Reed has become such a conscientious priest? It's incredible!"

"Yes, the boys are very fond of him, and if you have nothing else to do, I shall take my leave, Mr. Sulton."

"Good-bye, Miss Bennett."

The back view of Mary going downstairs seemed a little hurried, watching her disappear around the corner of the stairs, the funny smile on Lancer's lips became more obvious.

Mrs. Darcy is witty, witty, and assertive. Mrs. Wickham is careless, but also warm and pleasant, just like that Miss Kitty Bennett, and this Miss Mary Bennett has no sisters at all. They are lively and cheerful. She seems to be quite lonely, but she has her own inner world, which is hard to see through.

Of course, what occupies Lancer's heart at this moment is still Miss Darcy's shyness just now, so he didn't pay much attention to Miss Bennett, let alone know that when she bowed her head and ran away from him, she Almost on the verge of tears.

"Go to rest, children, don't run too far, you have to go to class later." As soon as Sister Susan finished speaking, the children dispersed happily, and she walked to the edge of the podium to ask Mr. Reed , "It's really hard for you, pastor, would you like some coffee and snacks? Mary led the children to make this by herself."

Mary was tidying up the crooked desk that was bumped by the children. After hearing this, she raised her head and smiled shyly.

"Oh? Did Miss Bennett make it? Then I must taste it." Mr. Reed also smiled warmly and friendly.

Sister Susan asked Mr. Reed to go to the adjacent foyer, and Mary had to follow.

After a while the coffee and desserts were served, and Mr. Reed was so full of praise for Miss Bennett's craftsmanship that Mary was ashamed to say that the desserts were made by the children, and he was just guiding them.

However, it is impossible for any lady to be indifferent to a man of status and demeanor, who looks at you with focused eyes and speaks sweet compliments, at least the sadness hidden in Mary's heart early in the morning, Temporarily relieved a lot.

The three of them were chatting casually, when a child came to report in a hurry, saying that there was a dispute between the other two friends, and it was about to start a fight.

As soon as Mary got up, she was persuaded by Sister Susan, who said that she should chat with Mr. Reed, at least she read more books, and the children's small fights can be dealt with by themselves.

Sister Susan left, leaving Mr. Reed and Mary alone in the room, the latter feeling at once awkward, for reasons she could not quite say, but perhaps because she had never been alone with a man, And his eyes are only looking at you.

"Seriously, Miss Bennett, you are an admirable woman." Mr. Reid's tone was softer, revealing sincerity, "The work of a church teacher is important to most young women. , will feel boring and tedious, but you are willing to use the time you can have fun to help these children."

Mr. Reed's words are like the breeze of this season, gentle and soothing, with a little heat of early summer, blowing into the heart, making you feel very comfortable, but also bringing a vague sense of restlessness.

"You are serious, pastor, getting along with the children and the residents who often come here is happier than my original life." Mary is not good at socializing, so she is telling the truth, "What's more, compared to you Devotion to the cause of God, what I did, was nothing at all."

"No, Miss Bennett, I don't have to lie in front of you." Mr. Reed's earnest smile showed a little more self-mockery, "For me, becoming a pastor is not so much an ideal. It’s better to say that it’s an ideal job, don’t you think?”

"Ah, this, this, maybe..." Mary became more and more nervous, even a little at a loss.

She really didn't expect that Mr. Reed, who had a gentle and friendly appearance and was always amiable, would tell such a big truth that was almost deviant in front of her face.

Perhaps, this man has courage and courage that he has never seen before.

Chapter 41 Spring Dream or Nightmare

Lancer stood on the terrace on the second floor, looking at Miss Darcy painting in the courtyard below.

The rain that lasted for three days finally stopped, the grass was still wet, the water in the lake was also high, the sun was everywhere, and the eyes were beating with brilliant brilliance.

Miss Darcy's easel stands by the lake. She should be describing the beauty of Pemberley after the rain, but she doesn't know that in the eyes of others, her graceful figure and concentrated posture are themselves a beautiful scenery.

Lanser was looking dazed, when suddenly Miss Darcy put down her palette and paintbrush, and ran forward like a cheerful deer holding her skirt.

He couldn't help being taken aback, and followed her running direction, only to find a carriage parked at the entrance of the manor. A tall and straight young man just got off the carriage, vaguely looking like Mr. Darcy.

Lancer hurriedly turned around and left. He and his sister had been quarreling here for many days. Now that the master is back, he must apologize and thank him both emotionally and rationally.

When he went down to the hall, Georgiana walked in holding her brother's arm. When she saw Lancer, she smiled shyly and buried half of her face in Mr. Darcy's arms.

"Mr. Shalton?" Lancer's appearance obviously surprised Darcy.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Darcy, Ivy and I have been disturbed at the house for three days because of a little accident."

Lancer quickly explained what happened, and said that he thought Ivy's condition had improved and he could go back, but because of the hospitality of Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy, he had to stay for another day or two.

"Oh, that's right. You don't need to go back in a hurry. I also think it's better to wait until your sister recovers completely." Mr. Darcy also expressed his greetings.

At this time, Mrs. Darcy also came to the hall, accompanied by Mrs. Collins and the baby.

"I hope our presumptuous visit will not cause you any inconvenience or discomfort." Charlotte said with a smile while patting the child.

"Oh, no, of course not. Lizzie and I are very happy to hear the news." Mr. Darcy poked his head behind Charlotte and asked, "Well, where is Mr. Collins?"

His attitude was a bit unnatural, and Elizabeth couldn't help laughing secretly, "Mr. Collins went to the church in the town and discussed with the pastor about Harry's baptism."

"Ahem, that's good." Darcy was obviously relieved. He walked forward, carefully looked at the child in Charlotte's arms, and unconsciously showed a smile, "The child looks more like you, Mrs. Collins."

Darcy doesn't dislike Charlotte. On the contrary, he also thinks that his wife's close friend is a clever and well-behaved lady. What he is afraid of is her husband. He can't stand Mr. Collins' chattering mouth and ridiculous flattery.

"If possible, I would like to ask you and Mrs. Darcy to be the godparents of the child and name him, because Mr. Collins and I have always admired you, and Lizzie is also my best friend. I don't know if this request is too presumptuous gone?"

Charlotte spoke very sincerely, with just the right amount of affection and compliments, and never mentioned Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh, who would definitely give Darcy a headache.

The husband's move is indeed eager for quick success, but Charlotte also agrees very much. First, it is because of the friendship between her and Elizabeth. Second, if this child can become the godson of Master Pemberley, it will definitely be of great benefit to his future growth.

"Of course, of course, it's an honor for me and Lizzie." Although Darcy didn't really feel "honored", but he didn't reject it, and the child in front of him also touched a thought in his heart.

If Lizzie herself can have a healthy and lovely baby, that would be great!

Seeing that Darcy just stared at the child without speaking for a long time, Elizabeth hurriedly reminded him, "My dear, should you visit Miss Sulton?"

"Oh, yes, I'll go back to my room and change my clothes first." Darcy didn't agree, hiding his thoughts.

Charlotte seemed to notice something, the corners of her lips moved, she smiled long, and gently touched her close friend's arm with her elbow.

Miss Sulton's breakfast was delivered to the room by the maid, and she stood on the terrace for a while before returning to bed and reading a book.

She can't be too energetic, otherwise there would be no reason to live in Pemberley. After leaving, I'm afraid she can only go to London to see Mr. Darcy again. The good feelings she has accumulated in his heart can't stand the time. and the toss of distance.

After all, it was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather was sunny after the rain, and the air was slightly humid and hot. After reading the book for more than half an hour, Miss Sulton felt lazy and tired. She simply put aside the book and stared at it. Looking at the exquisitely decorated ceiling in a daze, he fell asleep again unconsciously.

In a daze, it seemed that Georgiana had invited me to be a model for painting in the yard. When she was sitting gracefully on the smooth granite base beside the fountain, admiring the charming figure in the water, she suddenly entered the mirror on the water surface, Another pair of figures came into view.

Mr. and Mrs. Darcy?

Oh no, it's God and Elizabeth!

They walked towards each other arm in arm, Elizabeth kept talking to the male god, and the handsome and serious face of the male god actually had a gentle smile on his face, bowed his head slightly to her, and seemed to be patiently supporting her. .

Not only are they close, but they also seem to be a very harmonious match.

This, how is this possible?Shouldn't the little bit of admiration that the male god had for Elizabeth because of his impulsiveness and freshness before should be almost gone?

She stood up excitedly, and wanted to go up to the male god, but unfortunately his gaze was just swept away, without even a single stare, and he was about to walk away with Elizabeth on his arm.

What's worse, she had a premonition that once he walked away, there was a high probability that he would never look back!

"Please wait a moment, I have something to say, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy—" She exclaimed in panic and chased after her.

When the Darcys, Charlotte, and Lancer entered the guest room, the maid said that Miss Sulton had fallen asleep.

Everyone was about to leave and asked her to have a good rest, when suddenly the person on the bed moved and called out something, it seemed to be "Mr. Darcy"?

Darcy was not sure, and looked at his wife in astonishment. Sure enough, Elizabeth also looked uncertain and surprised.

Lancer hesitated a little, but walked to the bed, bent over to check on her sister, unexpectedly, she raised her hands suddenly, scratched in the air, and yelled a lot, this time everyone in the room could hear her Clearly, it is clearly "Mr. Darcy"!

"Ivy, did you have a nightmare?" Lancer was embarrassed and surprised at the same time. He glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and wanted to shake his sister awake, but she grabbed her and hugged her wrist very hard. , and the whole person also sat up.

"Mr. Darcy?" A handsome man's face appeared in the blurred field of vision. Miss Sulton was ecstatic, thinking that the man was really moved by her calling, and came to her side, holding her hands even tighter. Where are you willing to let go?

"Ivy, Ivy, it's me, I'm Lancer, you should wake up!" Lancer blushed, in order to let his sister wake up quickly, he couldn't care less, on her fair and pink cheeks , and snapped several times.

"Ah!" Miss Sulton, who was in pain, was startled suddenly, and after a few seconds of stunned, she finally saw clearly that the person in front of her was her brother.

"Lan Se, why is it you?" She suddenly let go of her hand, not yet fully recovered.

"Of course it's me. I brought Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Darcy, Miss Darcy, and Mrs. Collins to see you!" Lancer specially pronounced the names of each person very clearly.

"Mr. Darcy?" Miss Sulton turned her head happily. The moment she saw Darcy and his wife standing side by side, her smile froze, and she vaguely remembered if she had a dream just now, and in the dream she called the name of the male god?

O God!

Didn't he really say something that shouldn't be said in front of this large group of people?

Although Lancer's heart was full of doubts, he still had to help his sister get over this embarrassing situation first.

"Yes, Mr. Darcy came up to visit you as soon as he came back, Ivy, you have to thank Mr. and Mrs. Darcy for their thoughtfulness."

"Ah, yes, thanks..."

"I think Ivy's illness is almost recovered, and she should be able to go home to recuperate. Thanks to everyone's careful care in the past few days."

He really wanted to spend a few more days with Miss Darcy, but what Lancer was more afraid of was whether Ivy was confused or delusional?

God knows what she would do if she stayed at Pemberley!
