[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

Joyce Carr was standing in the corner of the banquet hall holding his wine glass. From his angle, he could just see Juliet's delicate side face, wearing a beautiful white dress, which was as pure and moving as the smile on her face.This image of her appeared countless times in his dreams—however, he didn't know that Juliet had indeed dressed him up like this, but fate, or the woman walking towards him behind him, changed everything.

Eleanor Redding snatched the glass in his hand and poured the rest of the wine into her stomach. She glanced triumphantly at Karl, who no longer cared what she did, and stuffed the glass again. Returning to his hands, "Poor Joyce, the girl you love has decided to marry someone else, and no matter how sad you are, you can't change the fact that she doesn't love you at all."

Joyce Carl glanced at the cup with her lip marks in his hand in disgust, walked a few steps, placed it on the waiter's tray, and walked back to the corner where he would not be disturbed.

Eleanor took another glass of wine triumphantly, and leaned over to him, "Joyce, oh, poor Joyce, I'm sorry, I forgot, you proposed to me first, so that girl can't Don't pass it on to others. However, you have never told me when you plan to perform the marriage contract?"

Joyce said nonchalantly, "Eleanor, I have never seen such an impatient and unashamed girl like you. Every time we meet, you always ask me when I will get married." He turned his head and suddenly approached her maliciously. Satisfied to see that her originally pale face suddenly had two red clouds, the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc, "Why don't you give up, Eleanor? Of course my answer is to wait." .”

"Wait? Wait until when?" Eleanor gritted her teeth, "Why do I ask you every time, because I can only see you in public! Because I can't even enter the door of Karl Manor now! Joyce Karl I gave you a chance." She glanced sideways at the bride-to-be not far away, and suddenly showed a nervous smile, "If I immediately denounced that you and Stoker were engaged, guess what, What will become of the poor girl?"

"I don't care what will happen to her." Joyce looked at her coldly, "If the man around her abandons her because of this, I will be happier, because I will abandon you and marry her instead. It is no longer an obstacle for me. If you think it is good for you, Eleanor, I will do whatever you want, and maybe I will thank you for it-as long as you have a little bit of behavior that hurts her, I will follow the above Talk and do."

The corners of Eleanor's lips turned down immediately, and the nervous smile disappeared. Although she looked much more normal now, her originally haggard face was even uglier. She whispered, "I don't understand, I don't understand at all. I don't understand why I myself fall madly in love with you."

"I also don't understand that you would use love as a ridiculous reason to destroy my life." Joyce gave her a disdainful look, "Eleanor, for the sake of your old father who is already lying on the hospital bed , I will tolerate you one more time, stay at home obediently, if you do something to make me angry again, it will not only be closed to you by Karl Manor."

Joyce left her, watched Juliet chatting alone with a tall girl, and walked up to her. He looked normal and said in a warm tone that everyone would have, "Congratulations, dear Juliet."

"Thank you, Carl." Juliet smiled back.

Then, without even daring to take a closer look at her, he walked away.

Miss Bingley watched his back merge into the crowd before continuing, "Where did I just say?"

"If you forget your thanks in an instant, I have to doubt your sincerity, Miss Bingley." Juliet gave her a quick look.

"Oh, yes. Although there is no great friendship between you and me, the moment your letter reached my hands, the nature was completely different. I know you probably don't value my friendship." Miss Bingley said The voice was a little weak, "Your enclosed evidence has really done me a great favor. Maybe I know why Mr. Darcy has taken a fancy to you, Miss Stock. You are as noble as him, and he also wrote a letter. To my brother. Still, I am engaged to Neil Trives."

Juliet frowned. She glanced at Darcy in the crowd. He was following Earl Wendell at the moment, listening to someone's speech. He seemed to feel that someone was watching him. He quickly raised his eyes to meet Juliet's eyes, and the corners of his mouth Moved slightly.Juliet looked away, "Miss Bingley, I dare not say that I am of high moral character, but as a woman, I know that marriage is the top priority, and I happen to know about it, so I just made a suggestion to you-but you seem to jump into it on your own initiative. into the pit of fire. What you have really betrayed is probably Mr. Darcy's kindness, and will your brother allow you to do so?"

"He is especially against it. He and Jane can't believe that I would choose someone with such a low character." Miss Bingley lowered her head and smiled, "You don't know, sometimes their ideas are very naive. They think I should marry A person who really likes me. If there is such a good thing—like me and have a noble character, then I wouldn’t be unmarried until now.”

Juliet looked at her.

Miss Bingley added, mockingly, "And money, of course."

"I'm sorry—" said Juliet, feeling that there was something shallow between them, and she wanted to hasten the conversation, but Miss Bingley didn't think so, and interrupted Juliet with a slightly subtle tone.

"But Jane convinced him—she was much more sensible or ruthless than Charles. Those evidences were enough for me to master Nierquise's weakness, enough for me to live freely. The girl was sent to the convent. , the child she gave birth to was taken away by Quvis's aunt and secretly sent to some farmer's family. You know that although he is reluctant to part with that child, he still can't disobey his aunt. She decides whether his assets can be saved. After her death, a big fortune will be added!"

"Miss Bingley," said Juliet, obliged to interrupt her, "I don't think I should be happy for you, and you may think me such a hypocrite, such a hypocrite. I feel sorry for the role of the evidence I gave you--not only did it not save your own life, but it made another girl fall into a worse fate. It's not what you're thinking of, my dear, there's a lot of high society."

"But none of them will make my life more comfortable than I am now." Miss Bingley replied with a pale face firmly, "I don't regret my decision." She looked at Juliet, her lips pursed, her chin raised, and the corners of her eyes The pick was even higher, "Miss Stoke, you must have been stunned by luck. You actually forgot your identity and sympathized with a girl who behaved shamefully."

"I don't sympathize with her, just as I don't sympathize with you—because it's all your own choice. As long as you think your choice is correct." Seeing her haughty look restored, Juliet didn't know what to say , I had no choice but to nod, "Then I wish you luck, Miss Bingley."

She walked away from Miss Bingley. She was not in a happy mood at the moment. From Miss Bingley's point of view, she did a good job. Under limited conditions, she was even considered courageous.This is entirely a tragedy caused by the times.She is also evaluating various conditions with various objective eyes, looking for a man to rely on - in fact, what is the essential difference between herself and Miss Bingley?The Darcy she chooses is more handsome and noble than Mr. Travis, but men themselves cannot be the criterion for judging them and distinguishing them.They are also seeking a career as a wife, pursuing a satisfactory salary.

She walked to Darcy's side and took his arm. She saw Darcy turned his head and pursed the corners of his mouth to herself-it could barely be regarded as a smile.

"I noticed that you chatted with Miss Bingley for a while," Darcy Gukong said to Juliet, "She exaggerated, most of the j♡j was her own imagination, I hope you are not stupid enough to believe her. "

Juliet looked at him with wide eyes, "It doesn't seem to be your style, Darcy, to talk about people's length behind their backs, or a lady's length."

He immediately snorted and glanced at her from the corner of his eye, "If you want others to not see it, Juliet, you need to control your facial expressions. I'm afraid that the people at the other end of the hall will be aware of your displeasure." He paused, then said, "Tonight is a special day, Juliet." Immediately afterwards, he added, "I don't want you to lose face by acting out of order."

Juliet was inexplicably surprised, "I don't think that Miss Bingley's saying that she is going to marry Mr. Traves is a lie she used to trick me into sympathy or pity. That would be too ridiculous, and she has no reason to do it. I have absolutely no reason." It would disgrace Bradley for her to go out of her way."

Darcy's expression was slightly stiff, and he gritted his teeth and let out a few syllables, "...that's all?"

Juliet looked at him with a smile, and whispered, "That's all. You stubborn guy with prejudices. I'm smiling now, are you satisfied?"

He paused for a few seconds, then replied coldly, "Juliet, I want you to know that in a few months, maybe as long as tonight, you will mostly represent Pemberley's face."

"Oh, yes, that's right." Juliet took his arm, kissed her face to an old lady who was blessing them, and continued after she left, "That's why you are here In the letter to Georgiana, I am ashamed to mention who my fiancée is."

When Darcy was at a loss for words, he couldn't help secretly feeling that Georgiana was too inconsiderate of his brother. After thinking for a while, he decided to forget this mistake immediately, and said, "Juliet, I hope you Everything has been packed."

Lady Catherine finally, after Georgiana gave a positive answer and sympathetically attached a detailed report on Miss Juliet Stoke's life, mercifully wrote a letter herself and invited the married couple to Rosings Stay for a few weeks.

The smile on Juliet's face couldn't help but grow a little bigger, but in Darcy's eyes, it was dazzlingly brilliant-they both knew the hidden meaning of this smile, and Juliet knew Darcy's little trick clearly.But she kindly let him go, "Everything is ready, and I will listen to your orders at any time, sir."

The author has something to say: Darcy (hidden complacency): Don't feel sorry, Juliet, the past is past.I make it very clear that you and Xiaobei are two different people.Bingley is such a gossip, she can't get me, and she's trying to sabotage our relationship.

Juliet (surprised): But she didn't say anything bad!

Darcy (then why are you upset!): ...she didn't say anything?Could it be that I am being self-indulgent?

Miss Bingley (Tsundere): Dedicated to destroying your image for 100 years.
