Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

Mary also searched for Wickham in the venue, and found that he didn't show up, and immediately sneered at his character even more.Who swears that he is not afraid of Darcy?And who ran away and slapped himself in the face?I hope Elizabeth can wake up and see his true face as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the gap in the conversation, Mary asked the waiter to pour herself a glass of white wine.As she sipped her head back, she noticed that Darcy was staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable and had to turn away from his sight.But she soon began moaning, as Collins walked towards her with an excited look on his face.

When Collins spoke, even God laughed.Mary knew this very well. In order not to give her girlfriends a chance to make fun of her, she had no choice but to take the initiative to meet him and take him aside.

"Oh Mary! I've made a huge discovery!" he said eagerly, taking Mary's arm.

Not far away, Darcy's face was gloomy for a moment, and he walked slowly towards them.

"What discovery?" Mary broke free from him without a trace.

"That noble Mr. Darcy, he is my benefactor, Mrs. de Boer's nephew, dear nephew! My God, can you imagine this wonderful fate? I am thousands of miles away from Hunsford, but I meet here This is God's guidance! I must go to make friends with him, and say hello to Mrs. Dable!" He began to stretch his neck to look for Darcy.

"If you want to make friends with a person, the most prudent way is to find out his preferences first, and then make an appropriate response according to his preferences. Mr. Darcy is not sociable. If you want to get to know him, you'd better find someone who is highly respected." Please introduce someone to you. If he shows an impatient look, then I suggest you stop your conversation immediately and return him to a quiet place, otherwise I can guarantee that your friendship will backfire and turn into a friendship!" Mary Straightforward advice.She knew too well what a winkless guy Collins was, and he could drive a saint crazy when he talked endlessly, not to mention Darcy who didn't like the noisy one.

"Miss Mary knows me very well, and I'm very honored." Darcy suddenly appeared behind the two, with a trace of joy in his low tone.

"Mr. Darcy, hello." Mary raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"You don't need someone of high esteem, Miss Mary can introduce you to us." Darcy nodded to Collins, and his face, which was still cheerful when facing Mary, became extremely stern.

But Collins didn't seem to feel his indifference at all, and stretched out his hand excitedly.

Darcy shook his hand, lightly and briefly.

"I think you have met once. This is my cousin Collins, and this is Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy." Mary briefly introduced herself to the two.Finding that Darcy wanted to talk to Collins, she nodded and hurried away.It was torture for her to see Collins humiliated.

Darcy watched her leave silently, and the joy in his eyes disappeared.

"How long has Mr. Darcy been in Longbourne? Do you have any plans to visit Mrs. de Boere at Rosings Manor before Christmas? She misses you very much and often mentions you in my ear." Collins found a topic to get close to him.

"I've been here for almost a month and a half, and I don't have any plans to visit Rosings yet." Darcy answered briefly, took a glass of gin from the waiter, and took a sip with a frown.

"What is Mr. Collins's reason for coming to Longborn this time? I heard that you are the heir to the Bennett family?" He pursed his lips, waiting for the pungent feeling in his mouth to fade away.

"Ah, yes. I have come here for two purposes. One is to visit Uncle Bennett, whom I haven't seen for a long time, and the other is to propose to a Miss Bennett. You know, when I inherited the Bennett family, My aunt and cousins ​​are going to have a hard life, and that's the last thing I want to see. If I don't do something for them, God will condemn me!" Collins looked divine, as if he had done something great sacrifice.

The hidden impatience in Darcy's eyes turned to disgust.He said flatly, "Then who are you going to propose to? I think it must be Miss Jane Bennett, right? Or the clever Miss Elizabeth Bennett? They are the most famous beauties in Longbourne."

As if feeling that his last sentence was out of line, he frowned.

"No, not at all!"

Collins' answer deepened the furrow between his brows.He unconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand, raised his cold and hard jaw, and looked at Collins with dark eyes.The line of sight is so penetrating that even Collins, who is thick-skinned and rough, can't help but feel a chill in his body.

But Collins reassured himself that it was just an illusion.He smiled and said, "It's Miss Mary Bennett. Although she looks ordinary, she is very capable. She managed the farm well in just two years. She is very suitable to be a pastor's wife. Of course, in my opinion Even with my social status and income, she will be very happy if she marries me!"

Darcy's hand holding the wine glass trembled, his temples bulged, he gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long while before speaking again, "Is Mr. Collins so sure that Miss Mary will marry you?"

"Of course, I will inherit everything from the Bennett family. Marrying me is her best choice. In fact, I plan to propose to her tonight. I bet she will be ecstatic!" Collins said to Darcy rolled his eyes.

Darcy stared at him and took a deep breath.But before he could adjust his chaotic emotions, music sounded in the hall.

"Ah, Mary agreed to dance with me for the first time, and Mr. Darcy is temporarily absent. It was a pleasure talking to you." Collins bowed to Darcy, and then went straight to Mary in the crowd.

Darcy stared at the two people who came together for a moment.

A reluctance appeared on Mary's face, but she did not refuse, but was led onto the dance floor by Collins.Her dancing posture is not as bad as in the legend at all, on the contrary, it is extremely beautiful.Many people looked at them in surprise, pointing and whispering from time to time, as if they regarded them as a couple.

Darcy turned his head away in embarrassment, only to realize that he had spilled a whole glass of gin on his hands before he felt the coldness of his cuffs, and the liquor soaked the fabric along his wrists, the bitter, pungent taste The feeling seems to be passing through the skin into the bottom of my heart.

He wanted to leave, but he stopped after taking two steps, and finally stood there with a straight posture, waiting for the end of the dance music.After what seemed like a century, the sound of the music gradually stopped. He took out his handkerchief, wiped his wet cuffs repeatedly, and walked over firmly.

"Could you dance with me, Miss Mary?" He stood still in front of Mary, and bent down cautiously.

"No, I'm a little tired." Mary waved her hands coldly.

"Being able to gallop a horse continuously for more than an hour, Miss Mary's body will not be tired by a dance." Darcy straightened up, "Please give me a chance!" He fixedly looked at Mary, his eyes full of determination , as if she did not agree, he would not leave.This tough approach completely violated his gentlemanly demeanor, but he couldn't care less about anything.

Many people looked over curiously, especially Mary's girlfriends, all stretched their necks, their faces full of sarcasm.

Mary was in a dilemma, frowning and staring at Darcy.

Darcy smiled at her, the first time he had smiled so clearly.The stern face melted like ice, exuding an astonishing charm.

Mary's eyes widened even further.

"Mary, how can you have the heart to refuse such a gentleman? You should dance with Mr. Darcy, the scene must be beautiful!" Collins urged, and then smiled obsequiously at Darcy who looked over.Mr. Darcy must have invited his fiancée to dance for Mrs. de Boer's sake. What an honor it was!

Thinking of this, he showed a proud expression.

The idiot!Mary squinted her eyes and cursed inwardly, realizing that the people around her were waiting to see a good show, so she had to lift up her skirt to greet Asi, "It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful." If the confrontation continues, the scene will be very ugly.

"Thank you for your generosity."

Darcy's voice trembled a little. He took Mary's hand firmly and led her to the dance floor.The second music had already started, and they quickly found the beat, and the fit together was just as Collins described—beautiful.

"My God, Mary did two dances tonight, and even Mr. Darcy invited her!" exclaimed a lady.

"I have already said that as long as our Mary can get rid of this eccentricity, she will never lose to Jane in popularity." Mrs. Bennet raised her chin in a haughty tone, "However, Mr. Darcy can be regarded as It's too late, even if he earns ten thousand pounds a year, I won't marry Mary to him! Our Mary is going to be the pastor's wife soon!"

Although Mrs. Bennet is greedy for money, she values ​​her homeland more, and she has a feeling of admiration for Darcy, and she doesn't dare to expect that he will take a fancy to her daughter.But she knew it in her heart, but she refused to admit defeat in the slightest, belittling Darcy and disliking Darcy for giving her a different kind of satisfaction.

Darcy's attention was all on Mary in his arms.Her waist is so slender and soft, and her skin is so delicate and smooth. Under the light, it looks like the finest porcelain in the East. She exudes a faint fragrance, and it is fascinating to get close.

All the words that had been brewed before disappeared completely, he couldn't think, he could only follow the instinct of his body to get close to Mary, and feel the strange throbbing when she was nestled against his chest.He wished she couldn't hear his frantic drum-like heartbeat.

"Mr. Darcy, I didn't expect you to invite me to dance." Darcy was very tall, and Mary was completely shrouded in his shadow, and her mood was no calmer than Darcy's.She only felt awkward and bored dancing with Collins, but she was a little flustered when dancing with Darcy. He had a strong sense of aggression, and she always felt that she had to say something to divert her attention, otherwise the complicated thoughts would completely disturb her reason.

Lowering his head, he met Mary's blue eyes as quiet and distant as the sky, and Darcy suddenly woke up from the winding atmosphere.Thinking of his original intention of inviting her to dance together, his heartbeat not only did not slow down, but became even faster.Can he get her forgiveness?
