I don't want to be a sinner.

"Mom, but it's going to rain, why can't we take a carriage?" Jane gently changed the subject.

"That's good, you will have an excuse to stay for a few more days." Mrs. Bennet said triumphantly.

Mary couldn't help complaining, anyone can see such a bad excuse, okay, don't you know it's not worth the money.

Rubbing her still humming ears, Mary was in trouble standing in front of the horse.Because of the two painful memories, Mary was completely indifferent to this kind of creature, not even thinking about it.What's more, Jane's riding skills are not superb, and it's okay to ride sideways alone. If you bring another person, you have to report to God early.

"Linda, you are the one who can be relied upon at critical times." Mary patted Linda on the head and sat down firmly.Riding a horse is weak, but Mary's behavior of riding a Tibetan mastiff is a whimsical idea, attracting crowds of onlookers.

Halfway there, as Jane expected, it started to rain heavily.The huge raindrops hit her body, and Mary felt cold and hurt.At this time, Mary heard an anxious and concerned voice: "Miss Jane?! It's raining so hard, why is it here? Are you okay? Hurry up to Netherfield Gardens to take shelter from the rain."

Bingley also put his coat on Jane in a very gentlemanly manner, which was gentle.

your sister!Mary really wants to vomit blood, although she is not as beautiful as Jane, you don't have to ignore me like that, Bingley.Ah hello!Why did you just take Jane away like this, draw a circle and curse you!Mary decided to add one more to her list of haters, and that was a Bentley!

"Mr. Bingley, Mary is still behind, please wait a moment." Jane finally stopped the bloody Bingley.

Mary was moved to tears, Jane, hello, sure enough, I love you the most.

At this time, Bentley, who was riding a tall horse and had a relatively high gaze, found his little Mary on Linda's body.The unabashedly shocked expression on her face made Mary feel even worse, and believe it or not, let Linda bite you!In short, Bentley didn't have a chance to talk to Jane for the rest of the journey, and it was all used to apologize and drank a lot of rainwater.

Moreover, when Bingley apologized, he always poked Mary's wounds, surrounding words like "short" and "low", which made Mary think it wasted to even look at him.It was because Bingley was delaying matters that Mary, who was entangled by Bingley, entered the door ten minutes after Jane arrived in Netherfield Garden.

Mary was drenched all over, her rosy lips were purple from the cold, and she kept shivering.The quick-witted Feng immediately took a big towel from the maid, wrapped Mary up from head to toe, and carried her directly to the guest room.Feng couldn't interfere with the hot bath, and handed over the work to the maid with a blushing face.

But before Feng left, Linda, who was happy to run into the bathroom to bathe with Mary, smiled blackly and said, "Come on, Linda, I will wash you myself."

Darcy was a step behind because of the difference between men and women, and felt a little regretful and jealous. He seemed to understand what he really wanted, but he still needed to verify it.After standing at Mary's door for a long time, Darcy left.

Sure enough, Mary, who had been in the rain for so long and had no one to borrow clothes to cover her body, started to have a high fever in the middle of the night and talked nonsense.We must know that in this era, the level of medical treatment is not high, and a fever may kill a person.And Mary had a fever only when she came to Netherfield. As the master, the whole Netherfield garden was in a hurry.

24 Man in Black

After Mary started to have a fever, she was in a daze, and she didn't feel too uncomfortable, but she felt hot and cold, her little heart was fragile, and all kinds of complicated feelings rushed up.Although Jane also got caught in the rain, firstly, she wore an extra Bentley coat, and secondly, she arrived at Netherfield earlier.As a big man, Bentley has rough skin and thick flesh, so there is nothing wrong with him.

In the early morning, Mary's high fever finally improved, and Jane, who was exhausted, was urged by Mary to go back to her room to sleep, and there was only one maid beside Mary to take care of her.But at one or two o'clock in the morning, it is the time when the body is the most exhausted.Seeing that Miss Mary was fast asleep and the surroundings were very quiet, the maid relaxed, unable to resist the drowsiness, the maid began to doze off quietly.

In a dark and windy night, a black figure entered through the window. The figure was nimble, without making a sound, and the maid was not awakened.

Lying on the bed, Mary felt a little dehydrated, her throat was about to catch fire, and said hoarsely: "Water, I want to drink water." Mary didn't even open her eyes, and a water glass was pressed against her lips, which was very suitable warm water.Mary gulped and gulped several sips, her limbs and bones were moisturized.

"I'm full." Mary licked her lips, ready to go back to sleep contentedly, without opening her eyes during the whole process.At this time, Mary heard the man's low laughter. Although the voice was very magnetic and pleasant to hear, Mary was so startled that she broke out in cold sweat and suddenly woke up.

"I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything." Mary repeated self-deceivingly, her conditioned eyes closed even tighter, and her head was buried in the quilt.Mary didn't dare to call for help, maybe she would be torn apart by then.After a long time, Mary couldn't hear anything anymore, and then she revealed a pair of black grape eyes.

The big smart eyes rolled around, and he was quietly relieved when he found that there was only himself and the maid in the room.What Mary couldn't see was him in black clothes outside the window, even his eyes were full of smiles, and he was relieved to see that the sick Mary was recovering well.

"Jane, I feel so bad." Mary had a bitter face, with obvious dark circles on her face, comparable to American treasures.It was all because of a sudden nervous tension yesterday, and then I suffered from insomnia and couldn't sleep anymore.

Mary's haggard expression of "please hug and comfort" made Jane feel even more sympathetic.She held Mary in her arms and stroked Mary's back like a cat's fur.

Elizabeth, who learned that Mary was sick at Bingley's house, hurried over on horseback the next day.Although the road was very quiet after the rain, Elizabeth had to reach Meryton first, and then passed fields and fences before she could see Netherfield Gardens.One can imagine how hard it was for Jane and Mary to drive in the rain yesterday.

When they arrived at Netherfield, Elizabeth was greeted by everyone in the hall.Mr. Bingley apologized ruefully before telling Elizabeth that Mary's fever was gone, and that Dr. Jones said the patient needed only to be raised.Then they went hunting according to the original agreement, accompanied by Mr. Bennet, Sir Lucas and others.

When Elizabeth saw the haggard Mary, she felt very distressed, and felt that Mary had lost weight after not seeing her for one night.She drove Jane, who was also in the rain, back to her room to rest, and came to accompany Mary by herself.

"Lissie, just say something, it feels so boring." Mary didn't want to lie down dryly, "Come on, Lissie, lie down with me." Elizabeth, who couldn't hold back Mary, had to lie down on Mary's bed, it was really very warm.After all, it was winter now, and Elizabeth couldn't bear to ride the horse for so long.

"Mary, do you like Mr. Bingley?" Elizabeth has always been a straightforward person without any scruples. It is a miracle that she can hold back for so many days this time.But now that Jane and Mary are guests at Netherfield, and the time they spend with Bentley has greatly increased, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. It is better to say that things are going well.

"What?! Are you kidding me?" Mary wanted to raise her voice, but her voice was limp because of her illness. "I used to think Bentley was like a big golden retriever, you know, Lissie, I always Wanted to have one. But now, you see, it's all Mr. Bingley's fault, and it's all Mr. Bingley's fault for getting me wet and sick!"

"Yes, it's a pity that our Linda is too stingy, and we don't allow another pet by your side. Please forgive Mr. Bingley, he didn't do it on purpose, and he has sincerely apologized." Elizabeth heard Mary's explanation and relaxed. He took a breath and got in the mood to joke around.By the way, I also said a good word for Bingley. After all, if Jane really marries Bingley in the future, Mary will become Bingley's sister-in-law. It's better not to misunderstand.

"By the way, where's my Linda?" Mary asked suspiciously, deliberately trying to change the subject. The annoying Bingley keeps mentioning her sore feet. What's wrong with being short?What is concentrated is the essence, understand? ! "It stands to reason that Linda should be entangled with me."

Elizabeth was a clever girl, how could she not understand that Mary was still in a quarrel with Bingley.Bingley is also true, Mary with such a good temper is irritated by him, so it's okay to let him go. "Linda was taken care of by Mr. Feng. He told you to take good care of your illness. So Linda went hunting with those gentlemen."

The two chatted for a while, and the time passed really quickly. Miss Bingley, Caroline, and Mr. Bingley's married sister, Mrs. Hurst, also came here to visit Mary.They gently asked Mary if she needed anything, cared about Mary's body, and were not as domineering as before.

But when they went out, they mocked the Bennet ladies for being uneducated. Elizabeth was not sick, and she was still lying on the bed, naturally lazy.Caroline said affirmatively: "Miss Mary definitely wanted to attract Mr. Darcy's love, so she deliberately fell ill. She spent a few days in Netherfield Garden with such a scheming heart, why couldn't Mr. Darcy find out."

"Don't worry, Caroline, she will reveal her story one day. And Mr. Darcy is a wise man, he will never marry a poor country girl, and then take over a bunch of poor relatives." Mrs. Hurst said Be obedient, you must know that Caroline is the butler now,
