Pride and Prejudice the Poor Princess

After wandering around for more than an hour, Mary finally saw Lydia at the door of a simple restaurant. She was staring at the hot bread in the window, with disappointment, fatigue, hunger, resentment and other expressions on her face. Didn't notice a luxurious carriage approaching her.

"Stop the car, don't go there yet!" Mary stopped the Gardner couple who wanted to get out of the car, and said to the driver in an orderly tone.

The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, only ten meters away from Lydia.Lydia wasn't interested in anything but balls and men, so they didn't have to worry about her recognizing the Darcy coat of arms.Even if she recognized her, she never thought that her relatives were watching her in the carriage.

She fished out her wallet and fingered the pounds inside.This was an extremely stupid move. A thief spotted her almost immediately and ran over to snatch the wallet.Coins scattered from the bag, clanging and rolling all over the floor.Mary yelled and chased after him, but was quickly thrown off.Thinking of the dropped coin, she turned her head in a hurry, only to find that the coin had also been picked up, showing an unstoppable look of despair.

The Gardners looked at her distressedly and put their hands on the doorknob.

"Don't go, she needs to learn a profound lesson! I want to let her know that without the shelter of her relatives, she has no way of surviving." Mary said coldly.

Darcy nodded in agreement.He's very upset with Lydia!For her own happiness, she can unscrupulously sacrifice Mary's happiness. What else can she accommodate in her heart besides love?It's time for her to experience growing up.

The Gardners were silent, looking at Lydia outside the window.She was trying to scratch her hair, then opened her mouth wide in surprise, and opened her palm to check.Fortunately, when she was counting the money, her fingers caught a pound and she unconsciously pulled it in her palm. This pound pulled her back from despair.She unfolded the banknotes and kissed them vigorously, and found that people coming and going looked at her from time to time, and quickly hid the banknotes next to her body.

She bought a piece of bread and exchanged a lot of change, which she carefully hid in her coat pocket, patting it with her hands from time to time.After squatting on the side of the road and eating the bread, she wandered aimlessly in the street, not even noticing that a carriage was following behind her.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, she really panicked. After wandering for a long time, she finally walked to the hotel where Wickham was staying.The waitress at the front desk said something to her, and she showed a resentful expression. She wanted to leave, but when she walked out the gate and saw the dark street, she hesitated again.

My disappearance must have made them realize their mistake.When they found me, the guilt and worry in their hearts made them agree to all my requests!Well, then I'll stay.I really look forward to their wonderful expressions when they find me!Mary must be being severely reprimanded by Uncle Gardner, huh, I didn't expect her heart to be so cruel!

With this in mind, Lydia booked a single room for 10 shillings.

"Her money can't last long, I have to find a better place for her. Uncle Gardner, please leave this matter to me, and I will ensure Lydia's safety." Mary said earnestly Said the tone.

Uncle Gardner thought for a few minutes before reluctantly nodding.

"I will take care of them." Darcy promised himself.He is willing to support Mary unconditionally, unless she makes a joke about her own safety.

Uncle Gardner was really relieved.

Mary looked at him and showed a sweet smile, but he quickly turned his head and looked out the window expressionlessly.

Please stop laughing dear!That will make me want to suck your delicate lips hard!He thought in embarrassment.

His indifference made Mary's heart sink.When she noticed the tips of his reddish ears, she quickly looked to the other side of the car window to hide the obvious smile on the corner of her mouth.Mr. Darcy is shy, so cute!

After a moment of silence, she told everyone to wait a while, opened the car door and walked towards the hotel by herself, handing a pound to the waitress.The waitress' eyes were bright, and she bowed and smiled flatteringly at her.

The two talked for a while, and Qi Qi showed a satisfied expression.

"What did you tell her?" Darcy asked flatly.He didn't dare to look at her soft face, but fixed his eyes on her delicate embroidered shoes.The upper pattern is very beautiful, full of strong exotic style.

"You'll know when the time comes." Mary blinked mysteriously.

It was an exhausting day, but Darcy was content to be with Mary.He returned to the apartment with a smile on his lips, and was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Reynolds.

"Has your proposal succeeded, Mr. Darcy?" She stepped forward and embraced him.

Darcy's joyful expression disappeared, and he said with a cold face, "No, because of some accidents, I have to prepare for the fourth marriage proposal. Please don't stop praying, Mrs. Reynolds." He nodded slightly and walked towards the study.

"Poor boy." Mrs. Reynolds made a sign of God's blessing.But she firmly believes that the more twists and turns in love, the more happiness it can bring people, and he will succeed one day.

Early the next morning, Mary received a gift from Darcy. It was a rather delicate pistol with several boxes of ammunition attached. The note on the velvet said——please protect yourself , Miss Mary!If you need me, I am always at your disposal!Sincerely, Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Mary smiled, noticing that no one was around, and kissed the note quickly, her cheeks flushing.

A week passed, and Mary went to visit Lydia quietly every day, and Darcy was in charge of picking her up.The relationship between the two became more and more tacit.

After bidding farewell to the receptionist, Mary pointed to the fork on the right and said, "Let's go to Putin Lane. Lydia's money is almost running out, and it's time to move out."

"Putting Lane, are you sure?" Darcy frowned.

"Sure." Mary said as she opened her handbag and showed the pistol inside to the man with an ugly face.

Darcy's tense expression was slightly relieved, and he knocked on the wall of the car and ordered, "Go to Puting Lane."

Putin Lane is one of the most chaotic neighborhoods in East London. The houses are low and the walls are mottled. Both sides of the road are littered with rubbish. The smell of mildew is fermenting in the air, and there are buzzing flies everywhere.

The carriage stopped far away at the entrance of the alley, and Mary and Darcy strolled on the dirty street with calm expressions.

"That's why you asked me to wear the most ordinary clothes?" Darcy put his arm around Mary's shoulders and pulled her away from a puddle.

"Yes, but I found out that I was wrong. Even wearing the most ordinary clothes, your elegance and dignity can't be concealed! Look, they are always looking at you!" Mary turned to several scantily clad women with flirtatious behavior on the side of the road. point to.She was very unhappy in her heart, and the smile on her face faded a little.

Darcy observed her complexion carefully, and a deep smile overflowed from his throat, "You must have drunk honey when you went out today, Miss Mary! Your words are so sweet!" His eyes stuck to her pink lips, and he couldn't help recalling It tastes sweet.

His pupils shrank for a moment, he looked away calmly, and explained in a hoarse voice, "They are not looking at me, but my pounds. As long as they dress a little decently, they will become their targets. They live by selling their bodies. Here is very Luan, are you sure you want Lydia to come?"

"I'm sure. Only by letting her experience the most painful life, she will understand how happy she was before. I will give her an unforgettable experience, and she will finally realize her stupidity, just like you one night Treat me like that." As soon as the words fell, Mary immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.She covered her mouth, her cheeks blushing little by little.

Darcy's footsteps paused for a moment, and he looked at the shy girl in his arms with dark eyes.She is especially beautiful when she blushes, like a slowly blooming rose.

He looked away with difficulty, and continued to move forward in silence.His quietness quickly restored Mary to her natural state.

"It's here, let's go in and have a look." The two stopped in front of a two-story apartment, and Mary knocked on the door.

The landlord is an old woman in her sixties. She smiled enthusiastically when she saw Mary, "You are here, miss, please come in."

The house was very dark, the wallpaper was yellow and peeling in some places, the furniture was very old, and the wooden floor groaned painfully when you stepped on the stairs, and it looked crumbling.For Darcy, this is undoubtedly a very simple residence, which will definitely leave a deep memory on Lydia.

Mary took Darcy to the balcony on the second floor and took out a spotting telescope from her handbag to look at it.

"What are you looking at?" Darcy walked behind her, his broad chest was very close to her, and he could embrace her in his arms just half a step away.The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he noticed that the tips of Mary's ears were turning red little by little.

"I'm looking at Lydia's residence." Mary calmed down and said calmly.

"Isn't this the place you found for her?" Darcy turned his head to look at her face, and his breath blew on her neck when he spoke.

Mary leaned forward as much as possible, shook her head and said, "No, that's where Lydia lives. This is my place. Don't you think I'll leave her alone here?" She pointed to a low-rise building not far away. low houses.

Darcy's soft face quickly became cold and hard. He grabbed Mary's shoulders, forced her to face him, and said in a stern tone, "So, you plan to live here alone? Miss Mary, I remember you promised However, I will not put myself in danger again."

"So I took it! It's a perfect gift!" Mary took out her pistol and shook it.

Darcy took a deep look at her and went downstairs silently.Mary was a little baffled, and went to the stairs to check, and found that he was negotiating with the landlady in a low voice.The landlady had a surprised expression on her face, chattering quickly.

After the negotiation, Darcy went upstairs and said in a strong tone, "Miss Mary, I have already rented out the whole building. I will be responsible for your safety for the rest of the time." Seeing her refusal expression, he immediately Added, "Mrs. Reynolds will move in too, you don't have to worry. You live upstairs with her, I live downstairs alone, and the landlady will move into a nearby hotel."

"I beg you not to risk your own life! If you have to do this, please remember that I will always be your reliance." He held Mary's hand, and placed a beseeching kiss on the back of her white and smooth hand .

Such blatant words undoubtedly constituted a marriage proposal, and Mary was stunned until he took two polite steps back before recovering.This time, she didn't wipe it hard, but tightly covered the back of her hand, as if she wanted to keep the hot temperature on it.
