[Pride and Prejudice] The leisurely life of Miss Bentley

The gentlemen and Mrs. Hurst were returning from hunting when Lady Catherine asked Georgiana to go out to talk to Miss Bingley alone.

When Mr. Darcy learned from Mrs. Reynolds that Mrs. Catherine wanted to talk to Caroline alone, he hurried to the living room, but was stopped by Mr. Bingley.

"Darcy, you should trust Caroline. If Mrs. Catherine can't handle it, I won't agree to her becoming Mrs. Darcy." Mr. Bingley said to Mr. Darcy in a rare serious manner.

"Besides, don't you want to hear Caroline's confession?" Mr. Bingley continued, and winked at Mr. Darcy playfully, as if the serious person just now was not him.

"Listen, Darcy," said Mr. Hurst, rare, "Caroline will not let us down."

Mr. Darcy shook his head. He was not worried that Caroline would agree to Lady Catherine's request, nor that she would not cope well.It's just that as a gentleman, when his fiancée is in trouble, he can't stand up to protect his fiancée, and he should fight side by side with her.What's more, this kind of embarrassment is caused by his relationship!

When he was about to walk around the corner outside the living room, Mrs. Hurst suddenly said, "How useful is it that you rush in like this? On one side is your aunt, and on the other side is your fiancée. To help each other or to be in a dilemma?"

The more Mrs. Hurst said, the worse Mr. Darcy's countenance was.It is undeniable that Lady Catherine is, after all, the sister of old Mrs. Darcy, and he may not have to obey her, but he must respect this elder.

"...If you are on the side of Mrs. Catherine, then we will understand, sorry, this marriage has to be abandoned." Mrs. Hurst said, looking at Mr. Darcy frankly.

"That won't happen..." whispered Mr. Darcy, clenching his fists.

"If you contradict Madam Catherine because of Caroline, let alone whether Madam Catherine will turn her anger on Caroline, even if such things get out, it's not a good word..."

Mr. Darcy took a few deep breaths, then stopped, and stood at the corner together with Mr. Bingley and Mr. and Mrs. Hurst. Looking from this angle, he could just see the two people who were talking in the living room. won't be detected.

Sure enough, Caroline was not intimidated by Madam Catherine's unfriendly questioning, but instead neatly caught Madam Catherine's killing move, and made the veins on Madam Catherine's forehead bulge out of anger.

When Caroline asked Lady Catherine with a smile, whether she felt that the engagement was entirely the result of her shameless seduction of Mr. Darcy, Mr. Darcy was taken aback.

According to common sense, when a lady suffers an insult to her personality for no reason, even if she doesn't show a look of anger, she shouldn't laugh so heartily? !Caroline played too unreasonably.

Then, when Mr. Darcy heard Caroline say coldly that Mr. Darcy, who was unruly, and her, who was shameless, happened to be a pair, he really felt dumbfounded.Is there any lady who would accept others' accusations calmly, and drag her fiancé into the water without hesitation?

Ouch, that's not what Mr. Darcy wants to hear the most... Mr. Bingley's inner villain bit his handkerchief and said.Caroline, shouldn't you curse and swear in front of Lady Catherine that your feelings for Mr. Darcy are true, and the sun and the moon can learn from each other? !What is this now? !

...Mr. Bingley, you must be possessed by Grandma Poor Yao.

Mrs. Hurst shook her head. This method of "killing ten thousand people and harming oneself three thousand" is also useful in front of Mrs. Catherine, who is usually praised and domineering.If it were her, she wouldn't talk about asking her to leave in front of Caroline at all, which would directly ruin Miss Bingley's reputation. Not only would Mr. Darcy no longer want to marry such a "reputable" woman Miss, even other gentlemen who want to marry Miss Bingley must weigh the pros and cons.

But for the sake of Caroline's quick solution... Mrs. Hurst didn't mention it.

……

When Caroline left Madam Catherine and walked out of the living room, what she saw was the wonderful expressions of everyone.Oops, she was accidentally caught on the spot, wouldn't she even overhear the conversation she had with Lady Catherine just now?

Caroline felt that she was an innocent fan and said that she didn't want to find this lady at all, and she didn't say anything inappropriate, did she?Caroline glanced at Mrs. Hurst guiltily, and smiled flatteringly.

Now, even Mr. Darcy, who had a helpless expression, was amused by Caroline's puppy-like eyes.

That day, after Mr. Darcy sent away Mrs. Catherine with a coffin face, Pemberley Manor returned to a peaceful day.

It's just that Hansford, far away in Kent, swept into the tail of the typhoon at Rosings Manor.Mr. Collins has been very unhappy recently. His benefactor seems to be in a very bad mood and is always unwilling to summon him, which makes him very resentful like an abandoned woman.However, soon, Mr. Collins was delighted by the news from Longbourn that the youngest daughter of the Bennet family had eloped with an unknown officer!

The matter of the youngest daughter of the Bennet family, Lydia, eloping with the officer Mr. Wickham, was simply a fire that could not be contained in paper, and it spread at the speed of bacteria.It was not long before not only Meryton and Brighton, but Cousin Collins's family as far away as Kent, and Lady Catherine and Miss Anne de Bourgh of Rosings also received the news.

Jane and Elizabeth were shocked and angry. Lydia was indeed a bit of a dissolute person on weekdays, but she made a scandal about elopement, which caught the two sisters by surprise.It is inevitable that I am very dissatisfied with the little sister who has done such a shameful thing to the family. How will the Bennet sisters marry in the future?

His father, Mr. Bennet, had already left for London to join his uncle, Mr. Gardiner. According to the news from Colonel Forster and his wife, the two eloped men and women should be heading for London.

Mrs. Bennet did nothing to contribute to the matter, except to cry bitterly, curse Mr. Wickham's baseness, and cry out for her poor nerves, and lay in bed in agony.While Jane and Elizabeth were worried about the situation of their father and uncle, they were also distracted from taking care of their sick mother.

Compared with Jane, Elizabeth suffers even more inner torment.If she had followed Miss Bingley's advice earlier, even if she had recognized and exposed Mr. Wickham's true colors earlier, perhaps this scandal of Lydia would not have happened.Now I can only hope that my father and uncle can find them in London and bring Lydia back home.

Elizabeth, however, was doomed to be greatly disappointed.Mr. Bennet and Mr. Gardiner had been busy for some days in London, looking for it, but finding nothing.Seeing this situation, Mr. Gardiner persuaded Mr. Bennet to go home first, because the wives and daughters of the Longbourne family still needed him.As for Lydia and Wickham, Mr. Gardiner asked the police station to continue searching.

Elizabeth felt that it was incredible. Under such circumstances, shouldn't it be the top priority to find Lydia and Mr. Wickham as soon as possible?Didn't it mean that Uncle Mr. Gardiner would not search for it with all his heart, and Mr. Bennet would not be nervous about the whereabouts of his little daughter?Although she also complained about her eloped sister, the most important thing was to bring Lydia back home. A girl who went out without permission always made people very worried about her safety.Besides, the reputation of the Bennet family was bad enough, would it go any further?

Elizabeth was very dissatisfied with her father, Mr. Bennet, who was still optimistic about his life, so when Mrs. Bennet cried again and asked Mr. Bennet to go to London to find her baby Lydia, Elizabeth was silent for the first time.

Seeing that Mr. Bennet is not up to the task, she is more assertive than Jane. Elizabeth wanted to go to London by herself, but she really couldn't help much as a lady.So she thought hard about any other help, but she couldn't find any good people to ask for help. The only one who could help, Miss Bingley, was also cut off by her in a fit of anger.It's really embarrassing for her to come to ask for help now.

Thus the days of Longbourne passed in gloom and gloom.

One day, Jane and Elizabeth were walking in the woods, but a servant went to the woods under the order of Mr. Bennet to ask them to go back to the house.Elizabeth thought that there was good news at last, but unexpectedly, Mr. Bennet was holding a letter with a sad face, but it was written by Mr. Gardiner.The letter did not contain good news as the two Bennet sisters had imagined, but mentioned various misdeeds of Mr. Wickham. The wife has had many affairs.In addition, Mr. Gardiner did not mention the whereabouts of the two of them, and it seems that they have found nothing.

Mr. Gardiner's letter crushed Elizabeth's hopes completely.She had hoped that her uncle, Mr. Gardiner, would live up to his trust and find Lydia, so that she would not have to bite the bullet and deal with that over-the-top family.The current situation is beyond her control. With the consent of her old father, Mr. Bennet, Miss Elizabeth Bennet took her sister Jane Bennet and went to London again.
