[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

Putting this sentence under other circumstances, Darcy may be able to make himself think that it is Juliet's teasing of her husband, but today he can clearly see the carelessness and perfunctory she concealed when she said this sentence.

He was a little angry, walked back and forth in the room for two steps, and finally said, "Juliet, this is your attitude towards life!"

Juliet looked up at him in surprise—it had been a long time since he had spoken to her in such a stern tone.She sat up straight on the sofa, "I don't think I quite understand what you mean, Darcy."

"That's because you have never understood. You have always been perfunctory about everything, never serious! Your views on things have never been serious!" Darcy was even more annoyed by her slightly guarded appearance , accused mercilessly.

Juliet took a deep breath and calmed her tone, "You should at least let me know what my behavior reminded you of such a high accusation."

"That's too much." Darcy said quickly.

"Then let's start with what's in front of us!" Juliet's tone was a bit aggressive.

Darcy held back for a while, seemed to be calming his emotions, and seemed to be thinking, and finally said, "Okay, let me mention that you did not hesitate to act for such a frivolous, impulsive, and stupid Mr. Carl in front of strangers." Putting your reputation on the line for an 'honest' defense!"

Juliet tried to make sure she looked patient, "I think that's just showing my seriousness. I have the responsibility and obligation to tell the police what I really think. You can't judge Carl just because of what a policeman says." It's not fair, they're always suspicious."

There was no smile on Darcy's face, and his black eyes were fixed on her. "Don't hide him from me. Think about your identity, Mrs. Darcy! Yes, they are suspicious and talkative, as long as Do you wish you would be associated with Mr. Carr's name again when you thought you found any clues and immediately boasted to show your greatness, Mrs. Darcy, you Probably forgot who saved your reputation at the hands of that reckless and stupid man--I honestly never thought you'd be so magnanimous to forgive such a man now! Doesn't that prove Mr. Karl's mindlessness? Is it? I have every reason to believe that the police’s deduction is not wrong. Although he has a lesson learned from impulsiveness, he may not be hot-headed again.”

"These are two completely different things, and they cannot be confused at all! You can't assume that he will kill someone on impulse just because of that trivial incident!" Juliet said impatiently.

"Small matter! In your heart, is this a small matter? Mrs. Darcy, if I hadn't intercepted that carriage, you would be cast aside by the upper class right now, and hide your name in the countryside to bear the pain caused by this small matter." All kinds of troubles! Your father, your brother, and I—my sister will be very sad for you! What is the difference in nature? They are all doing things that they know they must never do. Mrs. Darcy Don't abandon your fairness and justice because of his vanity because of his love for you! These two things should also send him to the gallows in my opinion!"

"Unreasonable!" Juliet stood up from the sofa, "It is you who are unfair and just! You can't just judge him as a murderer! If he made a mistake out of impulse, he should be recognized as a murderer and sent to prison. Go to the gallows, what about me who also made a mistake?"

"You were forced. But as I said..."

She quickly interrupted him, "But I'm not forced to go on this date! I'm equally stupid, impulsive, and sometimes irrational, so are you judging me to be a murderer because of this?"

"If I remember correctly, you have changed your attitude towards that matter and realized your mistake. Could it be that, in order to defend him, you overturned your previous cognition again?" Darcy took a deep breath , although he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice could still hear the anger, "You don't need to link your name with his again and again, do you have to do this comparison?"

Juliet paused for a moment, "About that matter, I really appreciate you, Darcy. He is far less important to me, so I don't hate him too much. Maybe... Maybe you said His vanity played a role in that, but I didn't mean to mention him in all sincerity—you brought it up first."

Maybe it was because of her softening tone, or maybe it was because of her opinion of the importance of a certain gentleman, which made Darcy's anger dissipate a little, but he still added, "You can completely deny that you have ever been with Karl. There was an engagement."

"I don't understand why you are so obsessed with this matter." Juliet's tone was a little impatient. "I'd rather shut up than tell a lie that can't be concealed to deceive others! No one could have expected that this lie would It won't cause much trouble in the future, and concealing it will only make them more excited!"

"Very well," Darcy looked at her, as he seemed to think, "I'm glad--very happy for your honesty. So, tell me, did you take your husband's Feel, or in other words, do you love your husband?"

Juliet's surprised and unbelievable expression and her red lips that could no longer utter a word all showed an answer.

Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and Darcy's expression gradually became solemn and indifferent. He never looked at Juliet who was stunned, and quickly walked out of the living room.

When the door was closed with a "bang", Sophie, who was hiding in the corner, trembled in fright. She quickly stretched her head out to glance at the angry back of the host, and whispered to Mrs. Reynolds who was standing beside her. , "It was such a quarrel on the first day... Shall we go to see the new wife?"

Mrs. Reynolds looked at her very calmly, and said with a smile, "Of course I will." She looked at Sophie kindly and smiled, "My dear child, don't underestimate this quarrel. It's better if it's lively! Let's go, let's go and see what the lady has ordered—by the way, the word 'new' should be removed, Sophie."

Darcy went into his study angrily.Although he hasn't set foot here for several months, the desk and bookshelves have been cleaned. He opened the curtains, stood in front of the window, and looked at the familiar scenery outside the window, trying to calm down his anger and disappointment no matter what. uncomfortable.He even remembered what Miss Bingley had said—she described the Bennett family as possibly having witch blood—but now it seemed that there were other people with witch blood.

Since the end of his previous marriage, he has been afraid of love, and even feels that love is useless to marriage except that its disappearance will make people more painful.He didn't expect that he would be attracted by evil again—yes, Juliet did have the evil aura of a witch in her body.Cold, heartless, ruthless, unpredictable!For half a year after the engagement, he repeatedly thought about what was the fundamental reason for deciding to engage in marriage with Juliet. tempting.However, when he changed her identity into Mrs. Darcy in the church, it became clear to him-she, everything in herself was the reason for his decision.Without a definite reason, he couldn't find any definite reason for his fascination.It's not that he can't see the flaws in her, but he still thinks she has extraordinary wisdom.

He agrees with her point of view, and he is willing to be her friend and her teacher; he is willing to use everything he knows to satisfy her curiosity, and is willing to use his thoughts and attitude towards life to slowly teach and influence her. Mature view.But he hoped that he was not just a friend in her mind, not just a teacher - but also more intimate.

Maybe he was still a little impatient, Darcy took a long breath, sat down at the desk, and forced himself to bury himself in a lot of parish affairs that he would not be able to deal with in the future, so that he could temporarily expel Juliet's hateful face from his mind .

It wasn't until dinner time that Darcy suddenly remembered that today was Juliet's first visit to Pemberley after her wedding, and he had forgotten her because of a dispute.He immediately stood up and pushed away the chair, strode out of the room, and ran down the stairs almost recklessly, startling Mrs. Reynolds who was going upstairs with her skirt.

Before Mrs. Reynolds could speak, he hurriedly asked, "Where is Juliet?"

Mrs. Reynolds reacted for a while before she realized that he was calling the hostess's name. She glanced at him quickly, "I was just about to tell you, Mr. Darcy, Madam said she was tired, so you don't need to wait for her to come with you." Eat."

"Where is she?" Darcy asked, frowning, with a stab in his heart.

"She has gone to bed in her own room," said Mrs. Reynolds vaguely, and she added, as if suddenly reminded of something, "Ah, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Pole has come to visit you. He has a Lots of committee stuff to report to you."

Darcy was silent for a while, "Let him have dinner with me." Then, he continued to walk downstairs, but this time, his pace was much slower.

After discussing the events and some issues in the parish over the past few months with Darcy, Mr. Pole said apologetically when it was almost time to go to bed, "Accordingly, you are newly married, so I should come later, but Frey The matter of Mr. Ci cannot be delayed any longer..."

Darcy said it didn't matter at all.

Mr. Pole laughed, "The people in the committee are very happy that you have married a noble wife. They want to hold a banquet for their wife, so they invite several families in the parish, but they are worried that she will not be willing to attend, so let me pass by Come and ask Madam for her opinion."

Mr. Pole was very happy to find that the governor of their parish still held the dominant position in this somewhat high-profile marriage. He didn't ask anyone for his wife's opinion, and said directly, "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely go then, I can I'm sure she would be very happy."

Darcy saw off the elated Pole, and then loosened his neckline a little tiredly, and returned to his room.He had a shower, and when he was lying alone in bed, he had a hard time keeping his thoughts from thinking about Juliet.

Just as he was tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep, the door of the room opened.Darcy's body was stiff, suppressing his heart that was beating too fast, quietly listening to the familiar footsteps slowly approaching, and then his side sank, a soft body full of fragrance hugged him from behind.

He heard Juliet complain softly, "You are too bad! You didn't support me on the first day, and I didn't have my own room as a result! I don't want the room where Mrs. Darcy slept before going to bed."

Mrs. Reynolds, who was making the bed in her own room, sneezed several times. She felt that the newly appointed Mrs. Darcy was a little strange. The first request was to let herself lock the newly made room for her and lock her room. All the luggage was moved into Mrs. Darcy's bedroom, but they were piled up on the floor without being arranged.

She didn't know that Juliet was using this incident as an excuse to beg Darcy for a ladder, and the master simply believed in her character.

Darcy replied calmly, "I don't think Mrs. Reynolds would be so careless."

Juliet didn't feel shy at all when her tricks were exposed, and the unlit night made her more courageous, her arms hugged him tighter, and her voice became more aggrieved, "With Mrs. Reynolds What does it matter? As a matter of fact, you have forgotten me, and I have no room now. Will you not take me in, Darcy?"

How could Darcy allow himself to be as ruthless as she was under such circumstances, he forgot that there were countless spare rooms in Pemberley, turned over and took Juliet into his arms.
