[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

When Juliet got up in the morning, she was sensitive to Miss Margaret's special gentleness—she had been angry with her before, so Juliet immediately cheered up, happily hugged Miss Margaret's arm, and lightly nodded her head. Talking on her shoulder.

"Juliet, my dear," Miss Margaret was very sad at the moment—thinking that she would break Juliet's good mood with her own hands, "Some things are hard to accept, but I—not only me, but also Monsieur Earl and Julian, I wish you to know everything."

"Oh!" Juliet exclaimed in surprise and shortly, and she joked with some unease, "Is Dad trying to tell me he's broke?"

"No," said Miss Margaret, disapproving of her humor at the moment, "about Joyce."

Juliet suddenly became quiet, it was the quietness she felt in her heart—as if she had been uneasy since the day they established their relationship, and she had been waiting for this moment, she said calmly, "Oh, please go on. "

"On the second day after you left London, the whole high society in London knew that he spent a whole night with two... women..."

Juliet immediately interrupted her, "Please speak in detail, and don't worry about me—if you don't speak clearly enough, how can I make my judgment?"

Miss Margaret took a quick look at her and was silent for a while. When she spoke again, she continued in embarrassment with an unspeakable expression, "The two Miss Montelimars, they are a pair of sisters. They are famous in some ways, and they are very popular with men-oh, they are also the daughters of good people, for various reasons..."

Juliet immediately understood in her heart that a pair of sisters may have noble backgrounds, but now they have become Xieyuhua who has been living in the world.Joyce stayed with them all night, what else could he do?Whether it is true or not, Juliet's heart will inevitably be stung.

"This is really strange," she regained her emotions, made herself look very calm, and asked dully, "In the upper class, we don't see many things like this, but why did Joyce do such a thing?" Instead, let everyone know about it? It was spread like a raging fire."

Seeing that she was still able to analyze the situation, Miss Margaret immediately cried out sadly: "Juliet!" She shed tears instead, put her arms around Juliet's shoulders, and buried her face in the hollow of her shoulders, "Honey, if you Cry out when you're sad..."

"There's nothing to make me sad," said Juliet quickly, and she went on calmly. "If that's all Papa and Julian don't think of me, what else happened?"

Miss Margaret tried her best to cheer up and said, "People seem to know about your engagement to Joyce."

Juliet was silent.

Because the "fiancé" has spread the love affairs of the whole high society, Juliet can imagine at this moment, when she returns to London, the malicious slander of jealousy or the kindness of pity and charity.

"I'll wait for his explanation." She lowered her eyes and said, "Now, please give me father's letter and let me read it in its entirety, so that I know what to do."

Her appearance, in the eyes of Miss Margaret, was that she was suppressing the pain in her heart and pretending to be strong.This made her even more sad.She took out Earl Wendell's letter and handed it to her, and silently exited the room, hoping to give her a chance to secretly shed painful tears.

Whether it is Earl Wendell or Miss Margaret, because of their identity, the authenticity of the matter has been reduced a lot. In fact, the matter is far more beautiful than what they described.

According to "reliable sources", at least half of the people in the hotel witnessed three people lying on the bed without any cover.

It is because of this that Juliet, the rumored "fiancée", is even more pitiful.

But there is nothing embarrassing about it, Juliet comforted herself. She remembered that when she was 19 years old, because of a word from someone, she packed her bags and took all her belongings and went to a strange city. There, she Witnessing the collapse of the fairy tale with my own eyes, although a little sad and not hurting my body, I no longer have the courage to believe it with all my strength.

Then, she was wearing the most beautiful clothes on the runway, and she was walking on the most beautiful steps. Under the runway, she looked coldly at men and women, feasting and feasting, and there might be a completely different side under the glamorous appearance. She even rejoiced Well, she left that world very early, before she couldn't bear to indulge herself, God took her away, but gave her a warm new life as compensation.

She looked at Julian who was standing beside her, holding his arm. His firm figure and encouraging eyes reminded of Earl Wendell's endless love and tolerance for her, Miss Margaret's self-blame and sadness, and the tears in her eyes It was hot - not for the pressure and blame she might receive, not for the grievance Joyce brought to her, but for the warmth that made her feel heartwarming.But she understands that what she is about to face is a battlefield that does not allow weakness. Tears and avoidance will only shame her and her family——any action she takes will be tested by countless pairs of eyes, so she can only use this Moved and swallowed in a hurry.

Juliet put on a gentle and dignified mask and attended the palace ball with the most perfect posture.Under the bright giant candle lamp, her gentle speech and elegant etiquette are the shield of Athena held in her left hand, her charming figure and beautiful appearance are the gold of Aphrodite tied around her waist. The belt is impeccable and intoxicatingly beautiful. The young man's eyes are almost fixed on her. From regretting the rumors to unconsciously believing that the rumors are just rumors, they all have reasons to chase after such a beautiful girl.What's more, no matter how people talk about it, they will not directly ask Juliet, and Juliet will not express her own opinions when she hears these gossips-this is normal, because young people never need to express themselves in this regard opinion.

Contrary to Juliet's high profile is the silence of Carl's house.

A day or two passed, Juliet did not receive any explanation from Joyce, and people gradually lost interest in a gentle and firm lady with a lovely conversation and exemplary etiquette—they could not find anything that could excite them more information, until an even more unbelievable rumor completely freed Juliet from the rumors about her.

Scandal from Pemberley.

The enjoyment of London is more luxurious and luxurious than the Derbyshire towns, and their speech is more severe than the Derbyshire towns. In their mouths, Fitzwilliam Darcy is the most pitiable man in the world, and Elizabeth Darcy is the most sympathetic man in the world. The most shameless slut in the world.

Pemberley, which used to be empty and quiet, was surrounded by people who were generally concerned about this matter.

Darcy's friend and brother-in-law Bingley, he has become a somewhat fat man, and he still has five or six points of his pre-marriage handsomeness. The only thing that remains unchanged is the hesitant expression on his face—he can never make up his mind, he Not sure whether to sit on his wife's side or to stand steadfastly on his friend's side.Beside him sat his wife, the pregnant Jane Bentley.Her figure and face were seriously out of shape due to pregnancy, but it didn't affect her beauty. It was probably because her life after marriage brought a trace of mother's determination to this originally gentle woman. At this moment, she was stroking her stomach, her face She didn't have any sad expressions that would make people upset, but her straight waist was like a female soldier rushing to the battlefield at any time.

Sitting next to Jane was Mrs. Bennett, who raised her eyes to look at everyone with a sob. The little daughter in mourning, with a blank expression, and the decadent old Mr. Bennett buried his face in his hands in pain—the poor old man finally realized that his pampering to the girl he loved the most had brought to the family. Here comes the bitter fruit.

Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine, sat across from them with an unbearable expression on her face. Although she was alone, her demeanor and the situation of standing on the moral high ground made her enough to stop ten thousand.

The silent and mournful Mrs. Griffey was sitting at a small round table not far away. She was neither willing to beg her brother to forgive Elizabeth for his betrayal, nor to stand beside her aunt as a victor against a group of people who were equally sad—no matter what. Either way, it was a heavy stab in Darcy's heart, and she could only hope that her brother could get real peace and tranquility.Mrs. Reynolds stood quietly beside her, silently expressing the same opinion.

The unmarried girls present hid far away in the corner of the hall, blocking their figures with a screen.

The group waited for about half an hour before the person involved in the scandal came to their midst.None of them was willing to face their loved ones in this awkward posture.

Elizabeth leaned against the maid seemingly weakly, her hair was pulled tighter than ever before, there was no decoration on her bun, and she was wearing a dark dress—as if this could cover up her mistakes, she was still a dignified Dalai Lama. Mrs. West.And her eyes were guilty and she dared not face her family.

Colonel Fitzwilliam's complexion was definitely not good-looking, but he was still responsible. Although he was in an awkward position at this time, he did not run away from Pemberley.He went up to Lady Catherine in silence, and fell silently on his knees.The lady of respectable status gave him a wink, as if he was something disgusting and immediately moved away, and she cast her eyes with concern on Darcy who was coming down the stairs.

He still seems to be taciturn. He has not looked very good in the past two years, so people can't guess how much this scandal has hit him.

Behind Darcy is a young man in his early twenties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a typical scholar.He didn't look at any corner of the living room with concerned eyes, but just bowed respectfully to Darcy and Lady Catherine, and then exited the Pemberley hall - clearly expressing his attitude.

This young man is like Darcy to express a wish and get Darcy's understanding and forgiveness. He is not only the son that his father and mother hope to entrust, but also a loyal preacher of God. A woman is his wife.He begged to annul his engagement to Mary Bennett, and he even expressly expressed his gratitude that the engagement had not yet been explicitly reported in any paper.

After a moment's silence, Darcy expressed that he had no objection to the matter.

Therefore, as soon as Mrs. Bennet saw the attitude of the young pastor, she immediately understood, she immediately wailed, and her fat body fell limply on Lydia's body. At the same time, a young woman's voice sounded from the corner of the living room. Sobbing.
