[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

Because of Mr. Darcy's piercing gaze, Lydia suddenly came to her senses.

He waved his hand, "No, no, I mean..."

He said cautiously: "Miss Wickham, I just want to introduce you to my brothers."

System: [The more you say this, the more wrong it is, hey! 】

Before Mr. Darcy could say anything, Joe said, "Thank you Mr. Bennett for the invitation. If there is a chance, I would like to go with you."

Joe's frank promise made Lydia feel uncomfortable.

His face was so hot that he didn't even dare to look at Joe.

When he sneaked a look, he found that Joe had a calm face, as if he didn't realize the meaning of his invitation at all.

Oh.

As expected of his Miss Wickham!

Lydia's eyes sparkled again, "No hurry, no hurry, I was too rude to make such an outrageous request all of a sudden."

Mr. Darcy thought to himself: Do you know it's outrageous?

Mr. Darcy straightened his posture and asked about Lydia's family background.

Lydia Bennett, with a silly and sweet look, told the whole story obediently.

During the conversation between the two, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Mr. Darcy glanced outside the carriage, and saw Mr. Evan jumped off the horse and came straight to the carriage.

Obviously, it was he who stopped the carriage.

Mr. Evan opened the car door, swept Lydia's face, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Mr. Darcy was speechless for a while, "You just met this Mr. Bennett yesterday."

"Huh?" Mr. Evan was taken aback for a moment, and then glanced at Mr. Darcy, "Don't lie to me, I saw who else besides a little beggar yesterday."

Lydia's face flushed, "Sir, your words are too much!"

Mr. Evan ignored him, and said directly to Joe with a straight face: "Why did you come out today? If I didn't happen to go to Darcy's mansion, I wouldn't even know you were out!"

His tone caused Mr. Darcy and Lydia to show dissatisfaction at the same time.

But Joe still asked gently: "Is there something important for Mr. Evan? Sorry, I am in a hurry to see my brother."

Mr. Evan: "What can I do, it's not what you promised me..."

Mr. Darcy had been longing to ask him what was concealed between him and Jo.

Now just in time for this opportunity, he said, "What is Mr. Evan planning? Why do you have to be evasive every time I mention you?"

Mr. Darcy frowned slightly, "Is it something against the common sense, or against the legal conscience?"

Mr. Evan looked away guiltily.

"how is this possible?"

He got into the carriage, pushed Lydia unceremoniously, and shouted: "Go in and give me a seat."

Lydia said angrily, "Didn't you come here on horseback? Why did you squeeze into the same carriage with us?"

Mr. Evan's tone was even worse, "Do you think I am willing to squeeze around with you? Especially you, I don't know if you have any bugs brought from the shoe store."

Lydia: "You!"

He was livid with anger.

Joe looked at Mr. Evan disapprovingly.

Mr. Evan coughed and stopped talking.

For Miss Wickham's sake, Lydia moved a place inside.

Mr. Evan sat on the seat, folded his arms, leaned back slightly, with a domineering aristocratic look, "I'm also going to settle accounts with George..."

Joe looked up and gazed at him apologetically.

He stammered, "Anyway, I want him to apologize to me..."

His voice became lower and lower, "...just an apology."

Joe bowed his head and said, "George owes you an apology, Mr. Evan."

System: [He owes more than this sentence. 】

Mr. Evan immediately became lively again, "Miss Wickham is still sensible."

Joe showed a gentle and helpless smile, "George really did a lot of wrong things."

Mr. Evan stared at Joe for a while, then snorted softly, "You're not used to it."

Mr. Darcy immediately said: "This has nothing to do with Joe. Joe has worked in the church since he was very young. Mr. Evan should be very clear about this."

Mr. Evan stared at Mr. Darcy, and refused to admit defeat: "Of course I know that the time I spend with Miss Wickham is longer than the time Mr. Darcy spends with her."

Lydia said quietly: "We can't look at the past, we have to look at the future, right?"

Qiao was cheerful alone, clasped his hands together and smiled: "I also hope to bring beauty and happiness to you gentlemen in the future. If you gentlemen have any troubles, you can talk to me."

She tilted her head, "However, everyone's relationship seems to be very good, maybe you gentlemen prefer to talk to each other."

Evan: "..."

Darcy: "..."

Lydia: "..."

Sometimes I really don't know if she is pretending to be stupid, or if she really doesn't know anything.

……

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the barracks.

The driver first went to discuss with the soldiers on guard, and after making arrangements, he came to ask the gentlemen and ladies to get off the carriage.

Jo and Mr. Darcy went to a separate room where they were to meet George Wickham.

There is only one sofa in the room.

Several people looked at each other, then gave the only sofa to Joe, and they stood around the sofa.

Jo folded his robe and sat down.

After a while, the door was pulled open.

They saw George step in with one leg, but half of his body was leaning out, talking to someone.

"Want to take revenge on me? You are eight hundred lives too early, brother, I will wait here, kid, come and take revenge if you have the guts!"

Mr. Darcy's anger came out in a flash.

Sure enough, even in the barracks, George is still the dishonest one!

Mr. Evan and Lydia showed exactly the same expressions of dissatisfaction and disgust.

George turned his head and saw a group of people in the room, and was taken aback for a moment.

Afterwards, he pressed the door with one hand, held the military cap in his hand and waved at several people, "Oh, there are a lot of people here, let me take a look..."

He closed the door, with his hands behind his back, and looked at the three men present with a decent face.

He stopped in front of Mr. Darcy first, and said in surprise: "Huh? Doesn't Mr. Darcy need to coax Mr. George Darcy? If you're not here, he probably won't have anyone to talk to. Feeling wronged, he just Can hide under the quilt and hold his cuff buttons and cry, ah, I almost forgot, his cuff buttons are gone."

Mr. Darcy clenched his fists and tensed his jaw.

He glanced at Joe out of the corner of his eye, trying to hold back his anger.

George walked slowly to Mr. Evan again.

He bent over, looked left and right.

Mr. Evan's eyes showed anger, and he gritted his teeth: "What are you looking at!"

George showed a bright smile, "I was looking to see when your eyes healed. It's amazing."

Mr. Evan: "..."

This bastard!

At last George came up to Lydia.

"You... well, who are you?"

Lydia was not as good at nourishing Qi as Mr. Darcy and Mr. Evan, and immediately said angrily: "Who am I? Take a good look, I am Lydia Bennett who was sold to the shoe store by you!"

Mr. Darcy pressed his forehead and thought to himself: You shouldn't talk to him.

Sure enough, as Mr. Darcy expected, George listened to Lydia's words, instead of showing the slightest shame, he asked with a smile: "Really? I didn't recognize it, probably because you are much darker than a few days ago, hey ? How did you become so dark?"

Lydia: "You still have the face to say it!"

George: "Why didn't I? Didn't I want you and me to have money to send letters? Why didn't you escape? That shop was carefully selected by me. It's on the main street and the business is good. , There are a lot of guests coming and going, isn't it easy to take the opportunity to slip away?"

Lydia froze for a moment, "Hey? Is that so?"

George said with a clear face: "Of course, I planned it all. One of them stayed in the store to make a promise, and the other asked for some money to send the letter. After I got the money, I sent a letter to your home. Don't worry about it." Worry, it won't be long before your family will write back to you."

Lydia was stunned, and all the original anger was vented.

"Yuan, so it's like this. I misunderstood you, but, you should explain it to me!"

George opened his eyes and said innocently: "We chatted in the car, I thought we were the same people, there should be such a tacit understanding."

Lydia blushed.

It turned out that he had made a mistake himself. He actually framed George and caused Miss Wickham to be frightened too. He really shouldn't be.

Lydia's face was full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you meant, and..."

He looked at Joe, "Miss Wickham, please come with me."

The system couldn't help but said: [Good guy, it turned out that he came to ask George to say "I'm sorry", but after all the talk, he became the one who said "I'm sorry". 】

George: "Indeed, this kind of purebred silly, white and sweet boy is rare, especially since he also takes into account the attributes of a love brain. It would be perfect to be a tool for my sister."

system:【……】

Jo looked at Lydia, and shook her head.

A hole suddenly leaked in Lydia's heart, and the expression on his face could hardly be maintained anymore.

Miss Wickham was really blaming him!

Lydia looked at Joe pitifully, as if she was about to cry.

Qiao thoughtfully said: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, as long as the misunderstanding is resolved, as for the trouble..."

She smiled softly, "I don't find it troublesome. I think it is extremely important to be able to clear up Mr. Bennett's misunderstanding of George and help Mr. Bennett."

Lydia's heart finally settled down.

Lydia hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, since I misunderstood Mr. George Wickham, I will try my best to make up for it."

George: "It's unnecessary. I'm a generous person. If you really want to make up, you can help my sister more when I can't go out."

George showed a look of disgust, "My sister is an idiot!"

system:【……】

Scold yourself?There is still such an operation?

After listening to George's words, Lydia immediately showed a look of wanting to dig out her heart for Joe.

"Mr. Wickham, don't worry, I will take care of your sister on your behalf."

Lydia patted her chest and kept expressing her determination.

Mr. Evan, who was watching on the sidelines, had a dubious expression on his face, while Mr. Darcy frowned.

Among all the people present, no one is more aware of George's bad nature than him.

Mr. Darcy never believed that this was a misunderstanding, it was simply a deception carefully designed by George Wickham!

It seemed to him that Lydia's purse might be in Wickham's.

George Wickham, however, was so skillful in his rhetoric that Mr. Bennet and Joe were convinced of his lies.

Mr. Darcy glanced at Jo's gratified expression, and could not bear to expose George Wickham on the spot.

Let him ask George Wickham about this matter in private. As for Mr. Lydia Bennett... the compensation will also be paid by him.

Mr. Evan interrupted suddenly at this moment: "Wait, wait! The matter between him and this Mr. Bennett was a misunderstanding, not mine."

Mr. Evan stared at George: "I was walking on the street that day, and I didn't offend you. In the end, you came directly at me and gave me two punches. What do you say about this?"

George spread his hands and said helplessly, "Sir, it's not that I gave you two punches, but that you insisted on hitting my fist."

Mr. Evan's face was livid with anger, "Nonsense! Strong words!"

George explained with a serious face: "At that time, I heard that someone was bullying my sister in the church. Although I didn't like my sister, I despised her for being innocent and deceitful, and weak and deceitful, but at least we were siblings." , I always wanted to stand out for my sister, and I was gesturing there, preparing to teach that person a lesson, but as a result, you were walking on the road, and you lost your mind for some reason, and bumped directly into the fist I was about to punch."

He clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "No, an accident happened."

Mr. Evan showed a look of reminiscence, as if he was wondering if it was as George said.

Mr. Darcy was sullen.

It would be the greatest misfortune to believe the mouth of George Wickham!
