Pride and Prejudice accident

With the help of Colonel Fitzwilliam, Elizabeth arrived at her uncle's house in Grayschurch Street, London. She handed her luggage to the servant and hurried into the house by herself.The living room was messy, Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner were sitting on one side frowning and arguing about something, and Mr. Bennet buried his head in smoking from time to time.Mrs. Gardiner was sitting on the sofa and weeping, sighing for poor Jane. Mrs. Gardiner's eldest daughter was trying to persuade her, but it was obviously of no use at all.

"Dad, what happened?" Elizabeth asked loudly at the door.

Mr. Bennet looked up at Elizabeth, pulled out the pipe from his mouth, and said with a sigh: "It's my fault that I neglected to discipline you."

"Dad, what are you talking about, you have always been a very good father." Elizabeth said, turning her head to look at Mr. Gardiner, "Uncle, please tell me what happened to Jane, she is all right now ?"

Mr. Gardiner shook his head and looked at his wife. Mrs. Gardiner wiped the tears on her face knowingly, stood up and took Elizabeth to go upstairs, "Lissie, let's go up and talk, don't disturb you Father, he has had a hard time recently."

"Auntie, please tell me why Jane got hurt. I was worried all the way here. I couldn't eat or sleep well. Please tell me what happened to Jane." Elizabeth grabbed Gardiner His wife's hand, pleadingly said.

Mrs. Gardiner saw that Elizabeth's face was really bad, so she sighed, and pulled Elizabeth into her room. After she sat down on the sofa, she said: "That Mr. Campbell, he looks decent. , I didn't expect that there was a history of romance before, he had some unclear relationship with his widowed sister-in-law, and it is said that his eldest brother's posthumous son is also very likely to be his."

"What!" Elizabeth stood up after hearing this, her face flushed with anger, and she scolded: "This bastard, he dared to lie to Jane. Was Jane beaten by him?"

"That's not true. Although he lied to your sister, he really has some sincerity towards her."

"What's the truth? If there is truth, why would others beat Jane? My poor Jane, how much wronged she has suffered, how is her forehead, whether the wound is big or not, and did the doctor say that there will be scars?"

"The wound is not big. It's on the forehead. It doesn't matter if there is a scar covering the hair. As for this matter, it is true that Jane has been wronged, but Jane herself is not very up-to-date. Anyway, as long as she becomes Mrs. Campbell, She could also drive Mr. Campbell's sister-in-law and the child with problems in life out of the house. But when Jane heard those things from the maid, she rushed directly to the lady to argue, how can such things be put on the table To put it bluntly, the lady became furious later and slapped Jane. Jane had never been wronged like this, and her words became even more ugly. In the end, she was pushed down by the child, and her forehead just hit the corner of the fireplace. "

Elizabeth was upset when she heard Mrs. Gardiner's words. She said: "Shouldn't Jane go to the theory? Shouldn't she just watch her fiancé and future sister-in-law together? Could it be Jane's fault? "

"Of course it's not Jane's fault, and it's true that there's going to be a quarrel, and she can't be wronged. But there are ways to make a quarrel. When Jane and the lady knocked their heads, Mr. Campbell happened to bring his few Mr. Campbell and Jane are both disgraced and made a big mess. What if Mr. Campbell is not happy and calls off the engagement later?" said Mrs. Gardiner, in the She thinks that Jane is very lucky to meet a man like Mr. Campbell in this life. Naturally, she must seize the opportunity. As for the romantic affairs of these fiancés before, of course, they will discuss it after they get married. Commitments are empty.

"He won't call off the engagement, but I want Jane to call it off. How can Jane marry such a man!" Elizabeth said, she felt that with Jane's beauty, it would not be difficult to find a rich bachelor, and there was absolutely no need Depend on this Mr. Campbell.

"She can marry no one but Mr. Campbell!" said Mrs. Gardiner.

"Auntie, what do you mean by that?"

"Jane, I'm pregnant." Mrs. Gardiner said sadly.

"What? Pregnant, why?" Elizabeth felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. She tried to calm herself down, looked at her aunt and asked, "How could Jane, how could she be so ignorant of protection?" Own?"

"At first, we all thought that Jane and Mr. Campbell were engaged, and the marriage was a sure thing. Mr. Campbell also told Jane that he planned to move all his family property in France and marry Jane in the summer. But you know After what happened to Mr. Bingley, Jane has always been worried about her relationship, so she..."

"My poor Jane, how wronged she has been, how can I help her." Elizabeth covered her face and burst into tears. She never thought that Jane would encounter such a thing, what should she do? good?

"Now Jane has given up on Mr. Campbell. She was the one who insisted on returning from Campbell Manor before. You have to persuade her. Lissie, marrying Mr. Campbell is her only way out. Mr. Campbell still doesn't know that Jane is pregnant Jane doesn't allow us to tell him about the matter, Lissie, please persuade Jane to let her take care of her body with peace of mind, as long as the child is fine, Mr. Campbell will probably calm down soon, and marriage will not be a big problem."

Although Mrs. Gardiner said so, she felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle. Although Mr. Campbell didn't say it, he must be very angry in his heart. He has only come to Scotland to do business not long ago, and his reputation is still very important. It's bad, and people will have to think more about it when they negotiate business with him in the future.In the high society, there are many things for ordinary beautiful ladies like Jane to be other people's mistresses, and there are not a few of them who eventually become courtesans. Most of the well-known courtesans in London are ladies of ordinary background, who are played with Falling after falling in love.Jane is now pregnant, and if Mr. Campbell does not want her, she will be a courtesan unless one of her sisters is married to a rich man who can support her.

Elizabeth cried for a long time before she stopped. She thought a lot, and she knew that Jane must be disheartened and never wanted to see Mr. Campbell again, but as Mrs. Gardiner said, she was pregnant, for the child and for herself, She had to marry Mr. Campbell anyway.If she doesn't get married and raises the children alone, what about the younger sisters behind her?Let alone marrying a rich gentleman in the future, no gentleman will marry them.

After realizing the seriousness of the relationship, Elizabeth wiped away her tears and asked, "Auntie, what is my father thinking?"

"Of course I hope that Jane can marry Mr. Campbell, but now Jane does not allow your father and uncle to go to Mr. Campbell."

“Auntie, I’m going to talk to Jane right now.”

Elizabeth stood up and was about to go out, but was held back by Mrs. Gardiner, who said, "Jane can't eat when she's sad. I persuaded her for a long time before I ate some. Now that you're going to persuade her, bring some." Let's go up and persuade her to eat more."

"Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?"

"Yes, Jane can't eat greasy meat recently, so I asked the maid to cook a big pot of creamy mushroom soup, and it's ready to eat after heating it up."

"Then let the maid go and heat it up. Is Jane living in the room where I slept with me before?"

"No, she lives alone in the guest room."

"Then I'll go back to my room and change clothes, and I'll talk to Jane later."

After the storm, the weather began to clear, and the Ferguson family was preparing to leave Hansford.This afternoon, Georgiana invited Andrea and Maria to go for a picnic for a walk. The three chatted while eating. Andrea and Maria agreed with Georgiana that they would definitely go to Pemberley in summer.

Georgiana has gotten closer to Andrea since she told Andrea about Wickham, but after all, Andrea's mental age is a bit older than the two, so Georgiana has something to say They still prefer to talk to Maria, so when the three of them accidentally talked about Mr. Green, Georgiana shyly dragged Maria to a distance to whisper.

Andrea sat alone on the picnic cloth and squinted at the clear blue sky. Now London already has the look of a foggy city in the future, but the British countryside has a particularly good environment.At this time, there were no clouds in the sky, and the whole sky was like an endless sky-blue canvas, waiting for the white clouds to float over and draw various shapes on it.

When Mr. Darcy came over, he saw Andrea raised his head and didn't know what he was looking at. He followed Andrea's gaze and looked up to the sky. There was not even a bird, but Andrea Ya still relentlessly raised her head.Mr. Darcy was a little worried about Andrea, wondering if her neck would be unbearably sore with her head raised all the time, so he walked over.

Andrea didn't notice the footsteps at all, and she was startled when Mr. Darcy walked behind her, bent down and looked at him face to face.Although Andrea didn't jump up after being frightened, her forehead hit Mr. Darcy's chin because she raised her head too quickly.

Andrea clutched her forehead that had been hit sorely, and said painfully and depressedly: "Mr. Darcy, what are you doing? You gave me a big jump!"

Mr. Darcy was actually quite depressed. He originally thought that he and Andrea would look at each other face to face in that posture, and it would definitely feel good, but being bumped by Andrea like this, there was nothing wrong with it. It's beautiful, his jaw hurts badly, his teeth bit the tip of his tongue when he was hit, and now his mouth smells like blood.

Mr. Darcy poured himself a glass of drink, and said after drinking, "Miss Ferguson, are you going back to Mayfair tomorrow?"

"Yes, it has been out for many days. If it wasn't for the heavy rain before, we should have gone back." Andrea nodded and said.

"Bingley wrote to me before, saying that he planned to go to Mansfield to do some business. I plan to go and have a look with him. It is very likely that we will go to Mayfair. I wonder if Miss Ferguson welcomes us to visit? "

"Of course you are welcome. Mr. Bingley also said that he wants to buy our horses. It happens that there are a few good horses this year. He can go and see for himself."

Then Andrea and Mr. Darcy chatted about many things. Mr. Darcy and Andrea said that his merchant ship was going to come back from overseas and would bring back a lot of goods from the East, which made Andrea Very interested.Mr. Darcy found that Andrea seemed to like oriental things very much, and secretly planned to leave some exquisite ones for Andrea after the goods were shipped back.

Georgiana and Maria didn't know what they were talking about. They both stood on the grass slope with a large bunch of freshly picked wild flowers in their hands and waved to Andrea and Mr. Darcy. Andrea smiled and grabbed They waved back their hats, and the fields were filled with the joyous laughter of young ladies.

Mr. Darcy's mood became better after seeing him, and he asked Andrea without hesitation: "Miss Ferguson, may I call you Andrea?"

Andrea froze for a moment, then felt her face was getting hot, she nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Darcy."

Mr. Darcy got a satisfactory answer, and said with a smile: "Then, Andrea, please call me Fitzwilliam from now on!"
