don't touch my darcy

Chapter 43 My Dearest Friend

Miss Sulton had lunch with everyone in the restaurant. Firstly, there was such a "misunderstanding". It would be strange if she avoided the Darcys again. I want to borrow Pemberley's carriage to go back to Rose Manor.

Miss Sulton is not a complete fool, and she also understands that if she continues to stay in Pemberley, she will not be able to get along with Mr. Darcy naturally. It is better to separate for a while and let this matter pass.

After lunch, the Salton brothers and sisters bid farewell to everyone. Of course, the Darcys had to politely persuade them to stay, but Mr. Salton insisted on going back after thanking the host for his kindness.

For Lancer, this is also a helpless move. For Ivy, and for the harmony between Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Darcy, it is necessary to leave.

He conveyed his heart to Miss Darcy with his reluctant eyes, and realized that she couldn't hide the loss in her eyes, which made him both sad and relieved.

After the guests left, the rest of the people drank tea and chatted in the living room, nothing more than about the birthday of Earl Hudler and Darcy's about to be honored by the King of England.

At this moment, Mr. Collins came back from the town. Seeing that Mr. Darcy was present, he immediately greeted him with great joy and enthusiasm.

First of all, thank him for not minding his family's adventurous visit, and praise the vastness and richness of Pemberley Manor, the splendor of the house, and the hospitality of the owner; secondly, tell Mr. Darcy, his dear aunt, respect Mrs. Catherine de Bourgh is in good health, and there is no need to worry about it, and the old lady is always concerned about the happiness of her nephew's family; what's more, she congratulates Mr. Darcy on his appointment, which will make the already noble lintel of Pemberley even more glorious .

Before Mr. Collins came, he had drafted these words and held them in his stomach for several days. Therefore, he had a strong desire to express, and even Mrs. Collins' frequent winks could not stop him.

Mr. Darcy managed to summon up his energy and patience, and submissively perfunctory him, but the baby in Charlotte's arms quit. His father chattered endlessly, and his eloquent speeches made him burst into tears, and he poured a lot of hot water. In this way, Charlotte had to carry the child back to the room, and Elizabeth also excused to help, avoiding his talking cousin.

Anyway, in London, Mr. Darcy has to accept more, more lengthy, and more clichéd compliments. It is better to learn to adapt now. Mrs. Darcy secretly teased her husband helplessly.

Back in the room, Elizabeth watched Charlotte help the child change the diaper. She really wanted to help, but she couldn't do it. She couldn't help thinking about the "more important thing" that Mr. Darcy wanted to tell her in the morning. It was interrupted without mentioning it, which reminded her of Miss Sulton's "strange dream".

Although Mr. Sulton explained, she also believed that this gentle and decent young man would not lie, but Elizabeth was already suspicious of Miss Sulton, and it was impossible to completely dispel it because of Lancer's few words.

She couldn't help but speculate about various possibilities, and sat in a daze without knowing it.

"Lizzie, Lizzie?"

"what?"

"What are you thinking, so preoccupied?" Charlotte smiled and pushed Elizabeth. At this moment, she had already fed the baby and put him to sleep.

"It's nothing..." Elizabeth's ears warmed up.

"If you're really okay, I have a few words I want to chat with you." Charlotte dragged a chair and sat down next to Elizabeth.

"What's the matter, dear?" Seeing Charlotte's serious attitude, Elizabeth hurriedly pulled herself together.

"I mean, Miss Sulton's dream didn't surprise you at all?"

"Yes, but it's just a fantastic dream, isn't it?"

"We are best friends, Lizzie." Charlotte looked at Elizabeth with a half-smile.

"Well, honey..." Elizabeth sighed softly, even if she married a stupid husband, Charlotte would only be smarter than before.

She roughly told Charlotte what Lancer had said to herself and her husband in the morning, and finally stated her attitude, "Although I don't know Miss Sulton very well, I don't doubt it at all. Mr. Shalton's words, my intuition tells me that he is an honest young man."

Charlotte chuckled and teased her friend, "Your instinct told you that Mr. Wickham is an honest poor man, while Mr. Darcy's arrogance and cruelty are unbearable."

"Please, don't talk about it again?" Elizabeth was really dumbfounded when the past was brought up again.

"Well, Lizzie, let's be serious." Charlotte put away her laughter and said seriously, "The most attractive thing to a single girl is a good bachelor, no matter whether Miss Sulton has any feelings for Mr. Darcy or not. Special interest, you can't take it lightly, Mrs. Darcy, oh, now it's Baroness Darcy, this is a charming title, you have to pay attention to it, you must know that it is easy for a person to be too lofty and conceited in many cases What's more, your husband is handsome, upright and rich, he is not Mr. Collins, so I don't need to worry too much."

Charlotte said self-deprecating words, but her serious eyes did not mean to be joking at all. In her insightful eyes, Miss Sulton's "weird dream" is not that simple, and she doesn't want close friends because they are too easy to trust people and people. Self-righteousness ruined the happiness that countless people envy at the moment.

Elizabeth was silent for a while thoughtfully, then took Charlotte's hand, her gentle tone was full of understanding and gratitude, "My dear, I understand that I believe in my husband, but it doesn't mean that I don't care about everything. Turn a blind eye, don't worry, I know it."

"Lizzie, you have always been smart, except for the occasional self-righteousness." Charlotte was relieved a little, and joked again, looking at the sleeping child on the bed, "If you want to hold your husband's heart firmly, maybe you can use the power of others."

"Please, honey, having a baby is not easy!"

"Hey, do you think I mean children?"

Charlotte's eyes widened on purpose, watching the blush creep up Elizabeth's cheeks.

"Then, what are you referring to?"

"It's Miss Darcy, don't you see that Miss Darcy cares about Lancer Sulton very much, and that gentleman obviously has good intentions for her."

"Yes, I feel the same way, although I'm not sure yet." Elizabeth finally smiled easily.

"As Mrs. Darcy, you have to care about all the people Mr. Darcy cares about, and let him feel that you not only have him in your heart, but also the whole Pemberley. You are not only his dear Lizzie, but also an irreplaceable woman here. Owner."

"Oh, Charlotte..." Elizabeth had nothing to say, and could only hold her close friend's hand tightly.

It must be admitted that Charlotte has wisdom that surpasses her own life. Although God does not love her and does not endow her with beauty and wealth, Elizabeth believes that she will continue to create and manage her own happiness, and anyone can have it. Such a friend is a lifetime of luck.

Three days later, in the church in the town, the soon-to-be-retired Reverend Short presided over the baptism of the newborn of the Collins couple. Mr. and Mrs. Darcy became the child's godfather and godmother, and named him Daniel Henry. Collins, and presented a considerable amount of money as Daniel's future education support.

Naturally, the father of the child could not say enough words of gratitude. After continuing to endure Mr. Collins' nagging for two days, the family finally left Pemberley, and the Darcy family was also preparing to leave for London.

Mary remained in Pemberley and was taken care of by Mrs. Reynolds. Before she left, she couldn't help telling her sister the secret in her heart, that is, Mr. Reed had expressed his love for her.

Elizabeth was very surprised, but also very happy. She agreed that Mr. Reed was a decent and stable man, but she still reminded Mary that everything still needs careful observation and consideration.

Chapter 44 Mrs. Bingley's Sorrows and Joys

"Daisy, put my green dress in the box, and take the pink one with me." Miss Sulton asked the maid to pack her bags, and gestured to the mirror for jewelry.

Early tomorrow morning, she will go to London with the Baroness Salton and his wife to attend the grand ball celebrating his birthday at the invitation of Earl Huddles.

Traveling to this world, she was only living in Pemberley Manor for a long time. Miss Sulton had long wanted to meet various people in the upper class and appreciate the prosperous and luxurious life in the metropolis. Especially when she learned that Mr. Darcy would also go there, she even It is irrepressible excitement.

Looking at the beautiful woman with pink cheeks and pink cheeks in the mirror, Miss Sulton's eyes became more and more blurred. Seeing her again, what would the male god's reaction be?

Such a beautiful, talented, and charming woman calls out his name affectionately in her dreams, doesn't she feel it at all?

In most time travel stories, after a small accident, the mood of the hero and heroine should change slightly, right?

"Ivy?"

"Is that you, Lancer?"

The knock on the door and the call interrupted Miss Sulton's reverie. She turned her head annoyed, and saw her brother in this world standing by the door, and told the maid, "Go out first, I want to talk to Ivy. something."

After Daisy left, Lancer came in and immediately closed the doors.

Miss Sulton became a little wary, and instead of going forward, she stood there, looked at Lancer sideways, and saw that he was really serious, and he was holding a folded piece of paper in his hand.

"Sit down. Before you go to London, I think I need to clarify something with you." Lancer sat down first, pointed to the seat beside him, and his tone was also firm.

"What's the matter?" Miss Sulton sat down reluctantly, feeling a little guilty.

After all, after returning, Lancer never mentioned that matter again, and she always felt that he would not just pretend that nothing had happened. Lancer, who looks suave and suave, is actually quite a shrewd person.

"Look, did you write it?" Lancer pressed the piece of paper on the coffee table and pushed it in front of Miss Sulton.

"What is this?" Miss Sulton casually picked up the piece of paper, unfolded it, and her expression changed immediately.

The stamped letter paper that still smelled of perfume was filled with beautiful cursive characters, and the address at the beginning was "Dear Mr. Darcy". This, isn't this what I wrote to the male god that night, and ended up accidentally flying out of the window? love letter?

Sure enough, Lancer picked it up!

How could he bear not to speak for such a long time, and there was no sign of it on his face!

"Did you write it?" Lancer asked tightly.

What is he trying to do?Do you want to ruin your good relationship with Mr. Darcy?

Miss Sulton took a deep breath secretly, put the letter back on the coffee table, and said indifferently: "No."

"Yes, I compared the letters you wrote to me in the past, and the handwriting is very different, but are you not surprised at all when you see such a letter?"

"Is it any surprise that a man as outstanding as Mr. Darcy is admired by a lady?" Miss Sulton tried her best to maintain a slightly cold and arrogant calm and reserved.

"Ivy!" Lancer showed a horrified look in his eyes, "Could it be that you also admire Mr. Darcy? He has a wife!"

"Please don't make wild guesses about me." Miss Sulton turned her head coldly, and retorted at Lancer, "It's you instead, are you Mrs. Darcy, the admirer, or Miss Darcy?"

Lancer couldn't control himself, Huo Di stood up, stared at his sister condescendingly, and argued loudly, "I admire Mrs. Darcy very much. It is true that I am very happy to communicate with her, but how could this be the same? She is a Dear married lady, I know the difference!"

"Why, didn't you use such inexplicable things to question me for Mrs. Darcy's sake?" Miss Sulton gracefully raised the corners of her lips, with a hint of disdain.

"Yes, I admit that I want to protect Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy's happy and peaceful life from being destroyed." Lancer nodded heavily, reached out to grab Miss Shalton's palm, and lowered his tone, appearing to be earnest , "But I am more for you, for your happiness and reputation not to be damaged, understand, Ivy?"

"I've already said that it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I think it's a stupid thing to use marriage to limit happiness!" Miss Sulton shook off Lancer, and his preaching made her extremely upset.

"Ivy, you, what are you talking about?"

Lancer couldn't believe that such a thing could be said from the mouth of an aristocratic woman. This person is still his sister!

Could it be that she hasn't completely forgotten the past, or that that terrible experience has planted the seeds of audacity in her body!

Miss Sulton cast a contemptuous glance at Lancer. Although he has the appearance and demeanor not inferior to a male god, he has no courage at all. He is almost on par with the uninitiated Mr. Bingley in the original book.

Only by desperately pursuing and fighting for can happiness be obtained, does he know?

Besides, the happy ending between the time-travel heroine and the original hero has always been taken for granted and will not change!

The Darcy family also owned property in London. After the family arrived, they had a short rest, and Elizabeth couldn't wait to visit her sister Jane.

She warmly invited Miss Darcy to go with her, but the shy girl said that it would be better for her to stay in the residence and rest. In fact, there was another small hope hidden in her heart, that is, after Baron Salton's family arrived in London , Will you come to visit me?

Her admiration for Lancer Sulton had already made her both sweet and sad. She wanted to reveal this secret to Elizabeth, but she lacked the courage. Wickham's aunt, Georgiana still can't completely get rid of her shame for the wrong things she did when she was young and ignorant.

Mr. Darcy also said that he was going to visit some old friends first and could not accompany Elizabeth for the time being. I believe that neither Mr. Bingley nor Mrs. Bingley would blame him.

Elizabeth knew that her husband was busy with things in London this time, so she happily went to Bingley's house alone.

The arrival of her sister made Jane very happy. They talked endlessly, but they left Mr. Bingley in the cold. He was gentle and tolerant as always, and he always kept a happy mood listening to Jane and Elizabeth chatting, and politely invited Elizabeth and Darcy After finishing the business, they must come to stay at home for a few days, because they have not received the invitation from the Earl of Hudders, and Jane hopes to spend more time with his sister, and he and his old friend Mr. long time no see.

After receiving Elizabeth's affirmative answer, Mr. Bingley left in peace, leaving room for the two sisters to talk.

At this time, Jane told Elizabeth shyly that she had just been confirmed to be pregnant half a month ago.

Elizabeth was of course very pleasantly surprised, but then her sister said something that made her unhappy.

Jane showed Elizabeth a letter, which was from Lydia, and the postmark should indicate that she had written it on the way back to the army station after leaving Pemberley.

In the letter, Lydia told her sister sadly and angrily. After repeated questioning by her, Wickham finally admitted that the three thousand pounds he got from Mr. Exhausted from the game of gambling, she hoped that Mr. Bingley could really buy Netherfield Manor, so that one day she could go to seek shelter if she had no one to rely on.

After reading the letter, Elizabeth really had nothing to say. Lydia knew that the Bingleys and his wife were kind and good people, so she dared to make such an excessive request, especially after she sternly rejected her.

However, Lydia's worries are not unreasonable. Wickham is an unreliable man, and his future as his wife is indeed in jeopardy. Not only Lydia, but also Kitty's life events are also unknown. Fortunately, Mary got Mr. Reed favor.

In short, without the inheritance right of father's property, mother and poor sisters can only be at the mercy of fate. Is there really no way to solve this hateful limited inheritance right?

Chapter 45 really steals the show

Darcy waited in the living room for a long time, but he still didn't see his wife coming out, so he couldn't help but go back to the bedroom. He saw Elizabeth standing in front of the mirror, turning from side to side and looking at herself carefully. Georgiana was carefully helping her tidy up her skirt. on the lace.

"Oh, Lizzie..." Darcy's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help calling out affectionately.

Elizabeth in full attire was so beautiful, like a rose in full bloom under the sun.

Seeing her husband just looking at her blankly, Elizabeth felt even more uncertain, and asked worriedly: "My dear, do you think there is something wrong? And is this dress too gorgeous?"

To be honest, except when she was married, she always pursued comfortable and decent dress, such heavy make-up and gorgeous clothes, full of jewels and jewels are really not suitable for her, besides, she will attend the birthday ball of Earl Hedleth with Darcy, let alone A little sloppy.

"How could it be? Lizzie, you must be the most charming lady tonight!" Darcy was so happy that he expressed his sincere admiration, even forgetting that his sister was present.

Miss Darcy snorted and tilted her head to look at her brother and sister-in-law. One of them was affectionate and the other was slightly shy. It was very interesting.

Her smile finally woke up Darcy, and he clenched his fists to his lips in embarrassment, and coughed twice, "If it's okay, let's set off, it will take at least half an hour from here to Earl Hudleth's mansion." What about the journey?"

The streets of London were very bustling, and the carriage could only move slowly and carefully. Sure enough, more than half an hour later, at dusk, it arrived at the earl's mansion in the suburbs. Although it was not as splendid as the Pemberley mansion, it was simple and solemn. It is admirable.

From the number of carriages parked in the open space outside the mansion, it is known that many distinguished guests have arrived. Elizabeth tried her best to restrain her uneasy emotions, holding Darcy's arm, and walked slowly into the hall under the guidance of the servants. Georgiana Meek and generous, he followed closely beside his brother and sister-in-law.

"Mr. Darcy, Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy to—"

Hearing the servant's loud roll call, Earl Hudlus immediately put aside the conversation and came out to greet him in person.

He is a short but energetic middle-aged man, with open arms and a hearty smile, he strode towards his cousin's family. Mr. and Mrs. Darcy and Georgiana were busy respectfully saluting the earl, but he warmly greeted the earl. Hug them one by one.

"Oh, Lizzie, you are so beautiful today, and of course Georgiana is not inferior!" Although I only met the Darcys once at the wedding, the cheerful Earl of Hudlus, as an elder, Call Elizabeth by her nickname.

"Happy birthday to you, Your Excellency the Earl." Elizabeth was not used to the enthusiasm of Earl Hudlus, but she was able to cope with it at last.

"Oh, no no." Earl Hudlus shook his head again and again, pointing at Darcy and said, "You should call me uncle like him, not some Lord Earl."

"Okay, uncle." Elizabeth didn't hesitate, and called out according to his intentions. This hearty "uncle" was very kind to her.

Darcy shrugged, noncommittal.

Earl Hudlus led the Darcy family into the hall. The magnificent arrangement, the bright candlelight and the fragrance of clothes and sideburns in the room made Elizabeth feel a little dizzy. She finally experienced the prosperity of London's high society. Her wedding was even more exciting.

Darcy patted her on the back of her hand to convey comfort and encouragement. Elizabeth took a deep breath, calmed down, and cheered up. She knew very well that whether she liked it or not, she had to get used to it and be able to integrate into it. This atmosphere is for Darcy and the Darcy family.

Comprehending her husband's intentions, Elizabeth quietly stretched out her hand, held Georgiana's fingertips, and turned her head to smile slightly, encouraging each other, but found that Georgiana was looking at a place in the crowded hall, following her Elizabeth saw several old acquaintances approaching.

It was none other than the family of Baron Salton, who had recently become friends with Pemberley.

Hearing the servant's roll call just now, knowing that Mr. Darcy's family had arrived, Lancer was very excited and wanted to go forward. Although it was only a few days apart, he couldn't wait to see Miss Darcy.

However, as soon as I moved my feet, I remembered another more important thing, that is Ivy!

The mystery in his heart has not been solved yet, so Ivy must be watched closely, and she must not be allowed to have any inappropriate words or deeds to Mr. Darcy on this occasion.

But Miss Sulton was not by his side. Lancer anxiously searched for her younger sister, and finally she laughed cheerfully like silver bells in a lively crowd not far away.

Tonight, she really stole the limelight.

After "recovering from a serious illness", it was the first time that Miss Salton appeared on a social occasion in London's high society, but her beauty, manners and style immediately captivated most of the young people present.

Although several of them "knew" her, they had never been close friends before. In addition, Mrs. Shalton's euphemistic explanation, her daughter was in a bad mood after a serious illness, and she forgot a lot of personnel. Not only did everyone not mind, Instead, they all expressed their understanding and concern for the beautiful and charming Miss Sulton, and tried their best to win the favor of this beauty again.

Surrounded by well-dressed and handsome young people, with courteous smiling faces in front of her eyes and warm compliments in her ears, Miss Sulton was almost intoxicated, and she didn't even notice Mr. Darcy's arrival.

She paid special attention to a young man named Mark Spencer. Among this group of people, he stood out from the crowd. Not only was he tall and straight, but his face was even more handsome. Let's put it this way, even Wickham's A pretty face is nothing compared to him.

He is also an alternate bodyguard of the royal palace. Seeing that he has the opportunity to serve the king, he has a bright future. Not only Miss Sulton enjoys his handsome face and sweet words, but even Mrs. Sulton is very happy to see her daughter with him. Happy talking.

But in the Baroness's heart, what is more important and hopeful is the happiness of her son, so as soon as she heard that Mr. Darcy's family had arrived, she hurriedly greeted her daughter in the crowd, "Hurry up, baby, our dear neighbors are here." Already!"

"Neighbor? Do you mean Mr. Darcy?" Even if Tao Taoran is being sought after, the male god's attraction to her is still undiminished.

"Of course, baby, remember to create more opportunities for Lancer and Miss Darcy." Mrs. Sulton couldn't wait to pull her daughter, and then dragged away Baron Sulton who was at the wine table, and greeted her happily go up.

Miss Sulton felt her cheeks burning hot. She didn't know whether it was because she drank some wine just now or she was still immersed in the enthusiasm of the young people. In short, she was very excited and full of confidence at the moment.

The popularity just now has fully proved that she is the most charming woman here. Even the suave and well-informed London social circles, the masters of sex hunting, all bow down under her pomegranate skirt. How can a male god Indifference!
