Although Mary quickly pretended that nothing had happened, her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.In fact, Elizabeth interrupted her before she could speak to Darcy.Mary was ashamed that her accusation was so severe and that the charges were not true.

She took a stack of letter paper back to the room, just picked up the pen and put it down again.Although the atmosphere in Britain is more open-minded than that in Great Xia, private communication between men and women is also a very controversial behavior.She stood up and looked out the window at the rustling pine forest, and what appeared in her mind were Darcy's eyes full of pain.Even his eyes were red!

Mary sighed and sat behind the desk to write quickly.

In the early morning of the next day, the thick fog hadn't dissipated, and the ground was covered with a thin layer of white frost, which made a rustling sound when stepped on.Mary took the letter and wandered along the paths she used to walk on.She wants to try her luck to see if she can meet Darcy.

At the same time, Darcy was also walking towards the pine forest with a letter.His eyes were dark blue and black, and many stubbles appeared on his firm chin. He completely lost the elegant and calm look of the past, but his back was still straight.

He walked directly towards the path where Mary often appeared, and saw the slender figure hovering under the tree, and his footsteps paused.

Mary also happened to turn her head to look over, and the two stared at each other from a distance, without moving for a while.

"Good morning." The two spoke at the same time, but were silent at the same time.

Darcy approached her first, trying to hide the inner tension with a stern expression.

Both hands were behind their backs, you looked at me, I looked at you, there was another awkward silence.

"You..." They spoke at the same time again, even with the same words.

Both of them paused, waiting for the other to speak first, and the tacit understanding of their movements reached the extreme.

Mary couldn't hold back at first, and a smile appeared in her blue eyes.

Her eyes are as distant and peaceful as the sky, and as magnificent as the sea, with a strange appeal.

Darcy looked directly into her eyes, the tension in his heart was greatly appeased, and the energy lost from a sleepless night seemed to be slowly gathering.He took his hand out from behind his back and said in a pleading tone, "Please read this letter carefully, Miss Mary. I can fully explain Miss Elizabeth's accusations against me yesterday."

Mary raised her eyebrows in surprise, and handed out the letter hidden behind her back, "Just in time, I also have a letter for you."

The two exchanged letters, and Mary nodded slightly and left first.

Darcy squeezed the letter tightly in his hand and watched it off, until her figure disappeared at the end of the path before turning and walking back.

He returned to the Rosings mansion covered in moisture, completely ignoring the butler's kindness to invite him to breakfast, and plunged into the study, eagerly opening the envelope.

Still the familiar, gorgeous, mysterious Gothic style.The black writing covered the whole paper, and Darcy collected himself before reading the above words: Dear Mr. Darcy:

Your marriage proposal brought me a pleasant surprise.I don't want to lie to you, I do feel happy inside.But instead of happiness, there are more worries and doubts.

I have heard that you wish to marry a noble lady, and that would be more in your interest.You also analyzed the consequences of marrying me, obviously it would bring you a lot of trouble, and you clearly expressed your disgust for me at that time.I don't know what prompted your change of heart, but it was the suddenness of this turn that aroused my suspicions.Marriage is the most important thing in life. I think you can understand my caution. At the same time, I also hope that you can remain cautious and not be carried away by impulse.

You cited all the disadvantages of marrying me, and then clearly told me that you still want to have me.I appreciate your friendship, but I can't share your point of view.You are putting up with my family and trying to separate me from the Bennetts.But let me tell you that my family and I are inseparable.I am me, I am Mary Bennett.Even if I put my husband's surname on it, I can't erase the imprint of "Bennett", because it has been engraved in my blood, and it will be continued by my next generation. He will also use my surname-Bennett as the middle His name will be passed on to his next generation forever.

You can't deny this fact, you can only try to ignore it.However, what you ignore now, in the future, when this fiery love fire goes out, will become the chief culprit of killing our feelings.Don't say that your love will last forever, that can only deceive the ignorant little girl.No matter how hot the love is, it will turn into a touch of warmth with the passage of time, and the trivialities of life will replace love as the theme.

At that time, what you deliberately ignored will force you to face up to it.The combination of two people is also the combination of two families, and its complexity is far beyond your imagination.What marriage needs is not tolerance, but tolerance.Inclusive of good and bad; tolerant of harmful and beneficial to you; tolerant of all kinds of conflicts caused by different ideas.

Only by accepting each other wholeheartedly and facing all possible difficulties can this marriage be regarded as the first step to success.Judging from your marriage proposal yesterday, our first step was obviously a failure. I have no confidence to go on, so I have to refuse.

In addition, I have nothing to say about Elizabeth's accusations against you, except that I have never doubted your character from the beginning to the end.Mr. Wickham's story is very beautiful, but I saw ugly greed and hatred from his handsome face.His behavior was so flippant and despicable that I couldn't believe he was a victim!Please don't be angry with Elizabeth's misunderstanding. There is an old saying in the far east - the pure is clear, and the turbid is turbid. I give it to you for encouragement.

Finally, may God bless you!

Yours sincerely Mary Bennett

Darcy put down the letter paper and looked expressionlessly at the pine forest outside the window.The annoyance, entanglement, and pain in his heart all settled down, leaving only peace.He suddenly wanted to know what Mary was doing at this moment, whether she was also looking at the pine forest, and their eyes might meet at a certain point in the sky.

Thinking of this, the corners of his straight lips curved gently.

When he came back to his senses, Fitzwilliam, who had come quietly, had already read Mary's letter, and sighed, "I didn't expect you to express your disgust for Miss Mary, no wonder she refused to believe your love for her. "

The softness on Darcy's face was replaced by hardness.He didn't want to recall the scene at all.That was undoubtedly the moment he regretted the most in his life and wanted to correct it the most.

"Put the letter down, you can go out." He wanted to take back the letter paper but was afraid of damage, so he could only frown severely.

Fitzwilliam hurriedly returned the letter to him and made a gesture of apology.

"Miss Mary is very smart, very smart. When dealing with feelings, her calm and rational approach is not at all like a girl who has just reached her full age. I had doubts about your choice at first, but now I have dispelled them. She is very close to you. Good match, Darcy. Like you, she cherishes her family very much, and even in the face of a very rich marriage, she is not carried away. I see those women who can't wait to part with the past in pursuit of fame and fortune Too much, their cold and forgetful hearts can't accommodate warmth at all. Mary is completely different from them, if you marry her, you will be happy." Fitzwilliam said sincerely.

"Thank you, Fitzwilliam." There was a hint of joy in Darcy's deep voice.

He unconsciously rubbed the letter paper and poured out, "I don't regret the reckless marriage proposal at all now. If I didn't do that, I would never know what I lack, and what Mary expects of me, I am Willing to make changes for her. When everyone was sympathetic to Wickham, she chose to believe me without hesitation, and she didn't even ask me for confirmation! To be honest, after all this, I feel that I know better She, and love her even more! I think I'll go crazy if I don't end up with her!"

Fitzwilliam's eyes widened.It was the first time he heard his calm and reserved cousin express his feelings so openly.

After deliberating for a long time, he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Then you should try your best to fight for it. From Miss Mary's words, I found that she has no feelings for you at all. Look at the first sentence, your marriage proposal It makes her feel happy, doesn't it?"

Darcy immediately picked up the letter paper and read that sentence over and over many times.

Fitzwilliam shook his head amusedly, and quietly exited the study.

In the vicarage, Mary is also reading Darcy's letters over and over again.He wrote five full pages, first pouring out his love to Mary, then expressing regret and apology for his inappropriate proposal, and then focusing on explaining Wickham's entanglement with him.

Mary sighed, and handed the letter to Elizabeth, who was full of curiosity and ready to move.

After reading the letter, Elizabeth's face turned blue, and she exclaimed in disbelief, "Oh, God! I didn't expect the truth to be like this!"

"If you don't believe it, you can go to Colonel Fitzwilliam for verification. He is also Georgiana's protector." Mary pointed to a sentence in the letter.

"No, there's no need to ask for proof, he won't use his sister's reputation to make up lies. Mary, your judgment is correct, Wickham is an out-and-out liar!" Turn around and wait until you calm down before remembering the most important thing.

"My dear, Mr. Darcy is actually a very respectable gentleman! I ruined his proposal and your happiness! What now? We have to do something to make it up! Or you go to Rosings now Manor, tell him you accepted him?" She said incoherently.

Mary waved her hand in a mocking manner, "What has happened is irreversible. It's not your fault, and I wasn't prepared to agree to his marriage proposal. I never expected marriage, but if I can get it, I hope it will be the most perfect ...a reluctant proposal is enough to put me off."

"You are right. There is indeed a problem with Mr. Darcy's attitude. He is too condescending. If you marry him to be as humble as Charlotte, I would rather you not marry." Elizabeth was quickly appeased , touched Mary's forehead with her lips.

The two sisters talked closely for half an hour, and agreed that it was too embarrassing to face Mr. Darcy again, and that it was time for them to take their leave.

Collins is currently planning a wedding.Mrs. de Boer really expressed her high appreciation for his choice of Charlotte.Her importance to this marriage made Collins dare not neglect, and he became more and more busy.When the two sisters bid him farewell, he only held back a few words before agreeing.
