Crossing into Elizabeth Bennet

arms with tears in his eyes.

"I don't want my family to worry about me."

"But you really need me, that's why you insisted on writing to me yesterday, right?"

"I know you won't leave me. I love you, Lizzy, my dear sister."

"Yes, yes, I will not leave you alone."

Lizzy saw that Ji Ying was very weak, but these few words seemed to have completely consumed all her physical strength.

She patted the back of her sister's hand lightly, indicating that she was resting for a while.

After a while, perhaps when breakfast was over, Lizzy heard a knock at the door.

He got up and opened the door. It was Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst.

"Oh, dear Jane, we are so worried that you are awake at last. Lie down, lie down."

Mrs. Hurst stepped forward to stop Jane who was about to get up, and put her on the pillow.

"How are you feeling, Jane, are you feeling better?"

Miss Bingley asked softly.

Lizzy took the farther chair, yielding the place next to Jane to the two hostesses.

They talked to Ji Ying warmly and enthusiastically, but they also saw Ji Ying's tiredness, and after a while, they got up and walked to one side and sat down.

At this time, the doctor just knocked on the door and came in to check Xia Jiying's body.

"It's a serious cold. Be extra careful these days."

"What do we all need to be aware of?"

"Let the patient sleep more. I have prescribed a prescription here. You must take it on time."

"Doctor, is my sister's fever getting worse?"

"Ahem, my head hurts too."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you are awake, take the medicine, sleep more and rest more."

"Thank you, sorry for your trouble."

After sending the doctor away, Lizzy saluted Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst gratefully.

"Thank you, I am very grateful."

"Don't do this, Elizabeth, this is what we should do."

Lizzy sat on the side of the bed, carefully watching over her sister.During the period, only the two hostesses sat and chatted softly, and the men seemed to have something to go to town.

ridicule

It was about time to leave, and Lizzy got up to say goodbye to Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst.

"Thank you for taking care of my sister. I really appreciate it. It's getting late. I think I have to say goodbye."

"Since this is the case, we won't make it difficult for you to stay. The journey is far away, why don't you take our carriage home."

"You are really too polite, what a shame."

Lizzy was about to humbly accept this kindness. She really didn't want to walk back on foot again. After a day of mental and physical exhaustion, she was also very tired.

"Lizzy, can you stay?"

Jiying grabbed the corner of the quilt and looked at her pitifully. If she was the eldest sister, she would not show such a helpless and coquettish look on weekdays.But now because of illness, people are becoming more and more delicate.

Embarrassment flashed across Miss Bingley's expression, she smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, and quickly changed her words.

"In this way, Elizabeth will stay in the humble house for a few more days."

"I can't thank you enough, Miss Bingley, very much."

They sent their servants to Longbourne to report and bring back some clothes, because Lizzy's clothes could no longer be worn, and the mud was still hanging on her body tremblingly.

Miss Bingley was indeed a bit stuck, and she already regretted inviting Miss Bennet to her house as a guest.

She never thought that things would turn out like this.

Not only lingering on the sick bed, but also attracted his own rival in love.Yes, she likes Darcy, and at a recent ball, she also heard Darcy admit that Elizabeth Bennet is special.

This is unacceptable to her. She slandered the Bennet family by all means, but she couldn't find out more from Darcy.

Now, she has to host her rival in Netherfield for a few more days, which will undoubtedly increase the time Darcy and Elizabeth spend together.

However, even in such a situation that bothers her, all she can think of is to slander and increase her charm with a sharp mouth.

It has to be said that she is still a lady who has lived in a boudoir for a long time, confident that she can rely on her own strength to win Darcy's love.

When it was almost time for dinner, Lizzy was invited and had to arrange her appearance and change into a more appropriate dress.Come downstairs and eat with everyone.

I have to say that they are all true gentlemen and ladies, and they have done a perfect job in terms of politeness and thoughtfulness.

Lizzy smiled and accepted everyone's greetings about Jiying's condition. Although there was no news of improvement to return everyone's concern, Lizzy felt very relieved and grateful for Mr. Bingley's enthusiasm.

Miss Bingley and Mrs. Hurst, so different from what they had been in Jane's presence, reverted to their meanness and indifference, and exclaimed aloud at the horrors of a bad cold.

Lizzy was very bored.The little bit of gratitude that was finally angry because of their concern for Jiying was also blown away by their hypocrisy.

Mr. Darcy ate in silence, and did not pay more attention to Jiying's condition. He himself was not a master who liked to sway his enthusiasm.

Now, he was sulking with Lizzy again, and it was even more impossible for him to pay more attention to women other than Lizzy.

"Have you had a good day, Mr. Darcy?"

Miss Bingley sat next to Darcy, and Lizzy sat opposite him.

Therefore, the interaction between the two, including the content of their conversation, happened to be seen and heard clearly by Lizzy.

"Fortunately."

"Mr. Darcy, you don't know how boring we are without you."

"........."

Lizzy stopped holding the knife, and Miss Bingley's earnest attitude made her miss COS Xiao Li Feidao very much.

Should she be happy for Darcy's lukewarmness?

She struggled to swallow the fruit that almost got stuck in her throat.Don't let yourself act differently.Lizzy quickly raised her lower eyelids and glanced at Darcy.I found that he also had drooping eyelids and looked invulnerable.

"Miss Elizabeth Bennet, don't you like ragout?"

It was Mr. Hurst, a passer-by who spoke, his eyes stared in disbelief, as if Lizzy had done something unreasonable.

"Um, sorry, I mean, I don't eat much meat at night."

"........."

"Picky eating is not a good sign."

Darcy's voice suddenly jumped from the opposite side.

Lizzy blushed, and cursed Mr. Hurst, who had raised the subject.

Why can't I get along with her? There are many people who don't eat stewed meat here, such as Darcy.

But she could not refute Darcy's preaching on this basis.This would make her even more embarrassed.

"I... I just don't eat at night."

Lizzy muttered an explanation, and she regretted it as soon as she said the words.Why did she feel guilty when facing Darcy's questioning?

But why is she so guilty?

The corners of Darcy's mouth raised slightly, and he took a sip of his wine in a good mood.

Miss Bingley's face darkened, and she stared back and forth at Darcy and Elizabeth.

"Sufficient nutritional intake can ensure the health of the body and the rosy complexion."

With such a random sentence, everyone at the dinner table looked at Darcy in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to express.And Lizzy blinked her eyes and tilted her head.

Darcy lowered his eyes and sliced ​​the potatoes on his plate.

Without much explanation.

"Darcy, you are saying something incomprehensible again,"

Mr. Bingley giggled twice, breaking the atmosphere at the table that was a bit cold because of Darcy's words.

"Elizabeth, don't mind, Darcy is always going to say something that doesn't make sense. We can't keep up with his thinking."

"Mr. Darcy has indeed a remarkable mind."

Lizzy responded with a smile.

"But this does not prevent you from having the same IQ. I think, Elizabeth, you will not be willing to admit that you are behind others."

Darcy raised his glass to Lizzy.

Lizzy had to raise the red wine in return.

"Elizabeth Bennet is a proud lady, too."

Miss Bingley hastened to speak in Darcy's words, though she did not understand what Darcy really meant.

Lizzy didn't answer, just smiled vaguely.She doesn't like speaking in front of so many people.

She was a little confused about Darcy's intentions. Is he out of breath and pushing her away?

For one dinner, what Lizzy ate was tasteless.

On the one hand, she hopes to spend more time with Darcy, on the other hand, she really does not want to see Miss Bingley's courteous and flattering appearance.

Yes, she is a little sour.

But what annoyed her even more was that she had no objection.

She couldn't even hang around Darcy like that silly girl.

So, after swallowing the last sip of red wine.

Lizzy got up to say goodbye.

She really didn't want to watch helplessly anymore, it would be better to go back to Jiying's side than to be aggrieved here.

The thought of spending the next few days in the same house with these people made her nerves go weak.

What Lizzy doesn't know is that as soon as she walks out of the restaurant, Miss Bingley turns on her.

Apparently this lady was also irritated, she forgot the decent and etiquette upbringing that a lady should have.Criticizing others behind their backs is definitely not a sign of good parenting.

"I have to say, questioning Elizabeth Bennet's tutoring style, you can see her attitude is both arrogant and rude."

Miss Bingley
