[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

The sky outside the window is dark and the stars are twinkling.

The windows were wide open, and the spring breeze with the mist of the valley poured in through the windows.

In spring, people's hearts are extremely restless, even cats and dogs are the same.

In the garden under the window, the cat's soft and delicate meowing sounded, and the meowing person's mind was floating and restless.

But because of Darcy's sudden appearance, the air in the room fell into silence for a while.

George stared at Darcy for a long time, then suddenly sneered, "No, we didn't say anything."

Darcy's face was cold and reserved, "Mr. Wickham!"

George leaned on the window sill with a smile on his face, letting the white curtains rise behind him like a bulging white sail.

He said slowly: "Why don't you talk about it, Mr. Darcy, what do you want us to talk about?"

Darcy knew that George had been against him all the time, and he would never tell the truth.

He turned to look at his brother.

Except for the time when George Darcy was born, he had hardly seen his brother.

Now that frail little baby has grown into a handsome and beautiful boy.

He wears a head of soft dark brown curly hair, and his expression is soft and unworldly, which makes Darcy seem to see Joe in those days.

Thinking of this, the expression on his face also softened.

Darcy said to George: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

George Darcy stiffened, and hid himself behind George Wickham again.

Darcy couldn't help being a little worried.

His younger brother was even closer to Wickham, but Wickham was really not a good friend.

George looked at Darcy and laughed loudly, "When we first meet, ask how Shunen is doing. It's really you, Mr. Darcy."

"I'm curious, why did you come in in such a hurry, as if..."

He rested his chin with one hand and narrowed his eyes, "It's as if he was secretly lying at the door and overheard something, and couldn't bear his emotions, so he rushed in anxiously, wanting to know more about the situation."

Darcy's jaw clenched and he looked at George warily.

Although he hadn't seen him for many years, George's expression of intentionally disgusting him or irritating him was still deeply imprinted in his mind.

Seeing that Darcy didn't react like he did back then, George sighed, "You really deserve to be the young master Darcy. After so many years, he has grown so much."

He applauded: "You have really become a qualified heir."

George Darcy looked at his brother's face, not understanding why George Wickham only said some words of praise to his brother, but his brother's expression became worse and worse.

"Brother?" He asked in confusion.

Darcy looked at George Darcy and said sternly, "George, go see your father."

When he said this, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, "Spend more time with father during this time."

Little George let out a "hmm" and left obediently.

He walked a few steps forward, but couldn't help but look back a few times, as if he was afraid that the two brothers who were very good to him would quarrel.

When little George disappeared at the door, Darcy said, "What are you going to do? George Wickham."

George stroked his chest and said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Darcy has always disliked me, but you can't push all the bad things on me!"

He spread his hands and said, "I really didn't do anything good."

Darcy's eyes widened.

George smiled, "Oh, I was wrong, I mean I really didn't do anything bad."

Darcy looked away and said coldly: "I just heard that you and little George were talking about Joe."

He knew it was irrational to ask George about Joe, but he couldn't help himself.

He could only try to look away, pretending not to care.

"How is she doing, Joe?"

George stared at Darcy and said with a smile, "She...is not having a good life at all."

Darcy was shocked, and couldn't help looking at George.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with her?"

George: "Oh, Mr. Darcy hasn't inquired about her for so many years, why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"

Darcy pursed his lips and looked at him.

Obviously he has a higher status, obviously he will inherit the Darcy family in the future, and George Wickham's future will depend on him in the future, obviously he should be the one who has the right to speak, but I don't know why once he meets George, say He always loses ground when the subject of "Joe" comes up.

This is probably his greatest weakness, and it was seen and used properly by the shameless George Wickham.

Darcy restrained: "I sent someone to the church to deliver a letter to her, and I also asked people in the church about her."

"But……"

With his hands behind his back, he walked to the window sill.

The mountain mist gently caressed the face, as if it brought the fragrance of roses.

Darcy's hands behind his back slowly tightened.

"But what?"

George crossed his legs and leaned against the ledge, as if he and Darcy were not discussing his other waistcoat.

He said slowly: "Is it because she didn't reply to your letter, or because everyone in the church said she was doing well?"

Darcy looked at him, "How do you know?"

George smiled and said, "No one in this world knows my sister better than me."

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, no matter from which point of view.

Darcy didn't believe it, "You?"

George flicked his bangs and said with a smile: "Although I am a bastard, I am a bastard who is very good at pleasing my sister. Even if she loves everyone in the world equally, only me, and only facing me, she can't help being partial .”

He leaned against his forehead, and looked at Darcy pityingly with the eyes of a well-loved person, "I am the one favored by my sister."

Darcy couldn't bear it and said: "What are you going to say? How is Jo doing? Has she... suffered?"

George smacked his lips, "Can it not be bitter? She is walking the path of an ascetic monk."

Darcy panicked.

George: "Of course my sister won't reply to your letter. After all, Master Darcy said that back then, and she also made an oath. She is a person who keeps her word."

"As for you asking the other church members about her situation, my God, you don't think they'll answer you honestly, do you?"

"My sister has a great reputation and is beautiful, but unlike other priests in the church who are able to marry, she has dedicated herself to God, so she has offended many people in the church."

"You know what people in the church are like, don't you?"

George pointed to himself, and said with a shy smile, "Master Darcy also said that he would also arrange me into the church. When Mr. Zachary quits, let me take over his job as pastor."

Darcy's face darkened.

This is indeed an arrangement that father can make, but what about Joe?what about joe

Is Joe, who has worked so hard in the church for many years, not as good as George, who only knows how to do nothing all day long?

There are also many such nobles in the church, or relying on the recommendation of the nobles, and dawdling in the church.

"I know, you continue."

Darcy didn't dare to think about what happened to Joe there.

But George didn't think about Darcy's little heart at all, as if it wasn't enough, he continued: "There is a very powerful priest in the church, he is the son of the earl, no one dares to offend him, and he happened to look at Joe It was not pleasing to the eye, so he sent her to the remote countryside to spread the gospel, even the mounts belonged to mules, tsk tsk, bully people, Joe is just such a person, going to such a remote place alone, you can imagine what she has gone through what?"

System: [Did you swallow Allen?He actually deliberately made himself more pitiful. 】

He felt poor Mr. Darcy's heart quivering with sorrow and anguish.

George looked at Darcy, "How dare you say that you care about my sister, you care about her, how can you not even know these things?"

Darcy pressed his temple, and the cold air continued to emit from his body.

He didn't know any of this.

His father would not tell him, and the people in the manor would not tell him this under his father's hint.

He sent people to the church to inquire, and always got some safe answers, and Joe didn't correspond with him...

Darcy raised his head abruptly, his smoky eyes were like heavy dark clouds.

"What about you? Why didn't you send me a letter to tell me? Aren't you usually very good at hitting me with such news? Why didn't you tell me!"

Darcy said angrily: "You should know Joe... how I treat Joe, if you tell me this news, you ask me what I want, I can't refuse it? George, why don't you tell me!"

George looked at his painful and forbearing eyes, smiled, and said lightly, "Why should I say that?"

He raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "What can you change if you rush over here? Besides, my sister doesn't care about these things."

Darcy: "She doesn't care about worldly things, but I..."

...But I care about her.

He couldn't say a lot, and it would hurt Joe's reputation if he said it, so he could only keep it silent in his heart.

George: "But the biggest reason why I don't do anything is because I'm afraid of offending Lord Darcy."

"After all, you are only the heir, and you haven't inherited the Darcy family yet."

Darcy said solemnly, "Aren't you afraid of offending me?"

Holding his chest, George said with a smile, "I'm afraid, but that's for the future."

"Besides, I'm still holding your handle."

"Fitzwilliam Darcy, as long as my sister is around, I don't believe what you will do to me."

Darcy: "Joe is not a person who doesn't know what is right and what is wrong."

George became more and more shameless, and smiled triumphantly at Darcy, "Yes, she knows that I am a bastard, she will understand your difficulties, and she will treat you gently, and will not make it difficult for you, but she will tolerate me even more. This bastard, maybe she will beg someone for me, anyway, there are a lot of noble children waiting for her to bow their heads in the church."

"What she doesn't realize, what I don't care about, you care about. Fitzwilliam, you're scared to death of her."

His smile widened, and he said unceremoniously: "Fitzwilliam, are you a real gentleman, or a gentleman who was shot with a golden arrow by the god of love, no matter how much I piss you off, you won't care about me, who will tell you?" How are you? Who gave me a good sister?"

George brushed off his sleeves triumphantly, "I just like to bully honest people... Ah, no, he's a good gentleman."

George swaggered past Darcy.

He pointed to the cat outside the window and said, "Did you hear that? Now, you are just like those cats."

He smiled and left.

Darcy stared at George's back, his chest rose and fell rapidly, as if he was very angry at his words.

System: [Your trick really attracts people's hate. I wouldn't be surprised if someone breaks your vest someday. 】

George flicked his bangs, "This is my strength."

System: What an intimidating strength!

Here George was angry with Darcy, while Joe there was trembling with anger at Lady Catherine who happened to meet on the road.

Joe had been preaching the gospel in the countryside before, and after counting, he felt that the plot was about to begin, so he prepared to return to Derbyshire.

She wobbled along the road on her old horse, and Ellen followed her on the back of a mule.

At this moment, a four-wheeled carriage passed by the two of them.

The carriage was very arrogant, and it didn't dodge, as if it was going to squeeze the two people who were driving on the side of the road into the ditch.

Seeing that the carriage was getting closer and closer, the old horse and the mule walked leisurely, not at all frightened.

Just when the large carriage was about to hit Joe's horse, the horse pulling the carriage suddenly tilted its head and rushed straight down the dirt slope.

The slopes on both sides were very steep, and even the horse and the cart turned over directly.

A woman's scream erupted from the carriage.

The two who were riding a horse and a mule and reading Latin books raised their heads and looked over with puzzled expressions.

Joe was taken aback, and immediately said: "Go and save people."

Saying that, she rushed down immediately.

"Wait!" Allen couldn't stop him, and followed.
