Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

The party at the aunt's house was over, and on the carriage back to Longborn, Elizabeth and Jane were whispering all the time. Although they couldn't hear their conversation, one could imagine from Jane's shocked expression that what they were discussing must not be a good thing.

While dealing with Collins casually, Mary looked at them frequently, frowning deeply.

"I really didn't expect him to be that kind of person! But Bingley is so open and aboveboard, he shouldn't be easily deceived by him. I think this matter is still suspicious, and I should ask Bingley for clarification. If it is a misunderstanding, it should be resolved as soon as possible." "Before returning to the room, Jane said to Elizabeth without beginning or end.

"Then you can ask when the ball is held in Netherfield. I also want to know the truth of the matter." Elizabeth kissed Jane on the cheek, and the two said good night to each other.

"Eliza, I want to talk to you." Mary said worriedly as she walked up the stairs and heard their conversation.Elizabeth paid Wickham an unusual attention, and she did not want to see her deceived.

"Come in, dear," Elizabeth said, drawing Mary into her room.

"What do you want to talk about?" She asked curiously while changing into her nightgown.

"Talk about Wickham and Darcy." Mary sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her.

"Ah! This incident is so sensational! I had an inexplicable dislike for Darcy early in the morning, and it turns out that my premonition was right." Elizabeth made a disgusted expression.

"Don't be fooled by the appearance of things. Sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily true. I think the one who is really suspicious is Mr. Wickham. He can tell you his secrets and tell you his secrets only the second time we meet. It is very suspicious to vomit bitterness. There is an old saying in the far east—a gentleman is forbidden to speak lightly and deeply. If he is a gentleman, he should keep silent about these dirty things." Mary paused, Holding Elizabeth's hand, "My dear, you are prejudiced against Darcy, so you are easily misled by him. If you calm down, it is not difficult to see the doubts hidden in it with your wisdom. Wickham said that he would not be hostile. Darcy, expose Darcy, but his actions are completely contrary to his words. He is a hypocrite, you'd better stay away from him, lest he be used by him!"

Elizabeth stared straight at Mary, and it took a long time before she said coldly, "You say Mr. Wickham is a liar, Mary, what evidence do you have? You are just guessing out of thin air. You say I am prejudiced against Darcy, I think you are the one who is biased! Why do you always speak for Darcy? Why do you trust him unconditionally? Mary, you are fascinated by Darcy! I also want to warn you, forget about him as soon as possible ! He is not worth your maintenance!"

Mary was dumbfounded, and it took several minutes to digest her words.She had to admit that she did have an inexplicable trust in Darcy, but when it came to being fascinated, she couldn't help but laugh.But she didn't want to explain to Elizabeth any more.She knew Elizabeth's personality very well: intelligent but stubborn, once she decided on something, no one could persuade her unless she changed her mind.This is a girl who is more stubborn than a cow.

Mary sighed, said good night to Elizabeth, and pushed the door open.

"Mary, I'm serious, forget about Darcy quickly!" Elizabeth grabbed her sleeves and warned solemnly.

Mary nodded dumbfounded, she had no energy to explain, so let her misunderstand.

Around the corner of the corridor, Mary came to the door of her room, and when she saw Collins waiting at the door, she almost couldn't help moaning in pain.What happened today?Why did everyone rush to torture her?If she can, she also wants to imitate her mother, covering her forehead and shouting 'my fragile nerves'!

"Mary, Aunt Bennett just told me that there will be a dance in Netherfield two days later, and she just received an invitation today." Collins looked at Mary expectantly, and bowed slightly, "I want to invite you and me First dance, okay?"

"Sorry, I don't like dancing." Mary refused without thinking.

"I know, Aunt Bennett has already told me about this weird habit." Collins didn't feel the slightest bit of frustration from being rejected, but instead became more energetic.

He raised his jaw slightly and said firmly, "But I think I am special to you, and you shouldn't reject me even if you reject everyone! Although I don't want to show it off, I must tell you that my dancing The technique is very good and can bring you a completely different and wonderful feeling! Dance with me and you will love this activity from now on!"

Someone, drag him out and beat him fifty times!Mary cried out in her heart that she couldn't stand Collins' stupidity and boasting, and when he spoke, his words and tone were so disgusting, it often gave her goosebumps.If she was still Princess Renxiao, she would definitely prevent such a fool from appearing in front of her again.

It's a pity that she is just a country girl now, so she listens patiently to Collins boasting about herself, and then flatly rejects him when he finishes speaking.

Collins finally stopped, and Mary said slowly, "Isn't it..."

A sharp stabbing pain interrupted her unspoken words. She looked back and found that Mrs. Bennett had appeared out of nowhere and was quietly twisting the tender flesh on her waist with her fingers.

"Of course Mary will agree. What reason does she have to refuse such an excellent man as you?" Mrs. Bennet said in a slightly exaggerated eager tone.She cut off Mary's attempts to speak several times.

Collins' attitude towards Mrs. Bennet was very useful. He bowed politely to say good night to the two, and then walked lightly to his room.

"Mom, I don't want to dance with him!" Mary protested as soon as they walked away.

"How long are you going to hold back the child? You should try to accept him! It's just a dance, look at the girls in Quanlangboen, who has such a quirk like you? People always use this to mock me, You don't know how painful I am! Mary, please, just agree!" Mrs. Bennet held her forehead weakly, knowing that her daughter could not bear to see her mother sad.

"Yeah, it's just a dance." Mary sighed while rubbing her mother's forehead.The education of noble daughters of the Great Xia Dynasty engraved in her bones made her unable to disobey her parents, which was a great disobedience.

"You agreed?" Mrs. Bennet maintained a weak appearance, but her eyes were shining.

"I agree. Only dance with him, no more." Mary solemnly declared that she couldn't get used to cuddling with a man all night, even after coming to England for two years.

"Just one, as long as you don't neglect him!" Mrs. Bennet was happy, and printed a loud kiss on her daughter's face.

Seeing her mother leaving happily, Mary sighed helplessly.

Mr. Bennett, who watched the whole process at the corner, came out, patted his daughter on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Mary, you care too much about your mother's feelings. This is a fatal weakness. You know, she is maintaining a happy marriage. You don’t have the slightest talent in this area, so don’t be swayed by her thoughts. Look at our present, and then think about your future with Collins, we are your best role models!”

The listless Mary was immediately amused by her father's self-mockery.

"I have my own considerations, Dad. Life is not smooth sailing, and you always have to give up something in exchange for something. I am still hesitating and don't know what I should give up in exchange for what. But I will always figure it out." Mary Qiang Said in a spirited manner.

"Well then, I believe you will be able to see clearly what you need most." Mr. Bennet hugged his daughter and left with heavy steps.

Two days later, the ball at Netherfield.

The residents of Longborn were all shocked by Mr. Bingley's luxurious and grand venue arrangement. While drinking expensive white wine, they came over to compliment Bingley.

"Darcy, don't always hide in the corner, but also help me entertain guests." After finally getting rid of a group of enthusiastic ladies, Bingley found Darcy, begging bitterly.

"I'm your guest too." Darcy stared at the door and said expressionlessly.

However, he quickly changed his attitude and reminded him as he walked out of the corner, "The Bennett family is here, you should go to greet them."

Bingley didn't care about his inconsistency, and followed behind him happily.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." Darcy bowed politely to a group of people, and then glanced at Mary indistinctly.

"Good evening, Mr. Darcy." Mr. Bennet didn't expect that Darcy would come to greet him in person, and his greeting was obviously half a beat behind.

"It's great to see you, Mr. Bingley! How long has it been since we met? Four or five days?" Mrs. Bennet ignored Darcy intentionally, and reached out to Bingley behind him, and the two embraced warmly for a moment.

Darcy took no notice of her indifference.He looked straight at Mary, clenched his hands behind his back into fists and quickly released them, his voice was extremely low, "Miss Mary, I..."

"Hey honey, you're finally here, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" Miss Jin who appeared halfway interrupted him, stepped forward and pulled Mary away.

Mary smiled at Darcy and walked away without hesitation.Since Mr. Darcy wanted to be a stranger to her, she would of course cooperate fully.She also thinks that she should not have any more in-depth communication with him, otherwise everything will be beyond her control.

Darcy's chest rose and fell, as if he was taking a deep breath, or he was a little out of breath.He stared at Mary's back and didn't speak for a long time.

Elizabeth burst out laughing, and she saw distress in Darcy's eyes, and perhaps a trace of pain.It's such a joy, isn't it?

She nodded proudly to Darcy, and then began to look for Wickham all over the place.She remembered that Wickham once said that he would not yield to Darcy, nor would he avoid meeting him, because he was on the side of justice.

But the result disappointed her, she learned from Wickham's friends that Wickham had gone to London the day before.

He must have been in a hurry and had to leave.Elizabeth desperately finds an excuse for Wickham.
