hello mr darcy

Katie...

Hearing this name, the expressions on everyone's faces were a little indescribably stiff.

Mr. Bennet coughed twice before taking a sip of tea very slowly: "Lydia, Katie really went too far this time."

"Excessive?" Mrs. Bennet seemed to hear something absurd, "I really would rather never have this daughter."

Seeing this, Lydia naturally had some guesses in her heart.

To be honest, although Lydia was extremely resistant to the idea of ​​what happened after the carriage, she had to admit it.I am afraid that my ridiculous elder sister has done something that even she can hardly imagine.

Lydia sighed, "Mom, where's Katie?"

The calmness of the girl was beyond everyone's expectations.This is not an ordinary fight, let alone a joke between sisters.

You know, if it wasn't for Lydia's special features, maybe she wouldn't be able to come back.

This point is obviously also haunting the Bennet family.Even Mary, who respects Lydia very much on weekdays, now looks at her expression with extreme guilt.

The guilt in Mr. Bennet's eyes was even stronger, but also in the corner, a little gratitude gradually permeated.

He nodded, waved at Mrs. Hill, and took the key from her hand.Before standing up and preparing to hand it over to Lydia, he still hesitated a little.

"Lydia, Katie has been locked up in the house for many days." Mr. Bennet's words seemed to be just an unintentional reminder, but it also made Lydia smile and nod.

When he took the key and was about to leave, he accidentally bumped into Darcy's eyes.

Such tenderness and warmth, as if she always silently supported all her decisions, warmed Lydia's heart.

She looked shyly at the surrounding family members, and smiled quietly at Darcy when they were not paying attention.Seeing the smile in the responding eyes made my heart even sweeter.

This sneaky look at each other made the joy in their hearts even sweeter.

Lydia sorted out her mood before turning around and going upstairs.

The sound of going down the steps made Katie, who was listening behind the door very nervously, her heart tightened even more.

Listening to the tiny creaking sound of the old wooden floor, I got closer to myself.This made Katie stand up hurriedly as if she had been scalded, wanting to get away from the door as soon as possible.

However, because he moved too fast, he tripped several times along the way.He made a lot of noises, and when he finally returned to the bed, even the tassels on the petticoat were slightly torn.It looked even a little embarrassing.

Katie was so frightened that she was about to cry, she shrank in the corner, looking at her skirt with great distress.But she was worried about the turning of the doorknob at the door, and the sound of the key made her tremble like chaff.

This pitiful appearance was exactly what Lydia felt the first time she saw it after entering the door.

This ignorant Katie is like a frightened bird at this time, her eyes are wide open, but the flickering eyes are full of panic.Even the slightly red corners of the eyes, the teardrops were too frightened to move, and they were hanging on the eyelashes at the corners of the eyes, which was very pitiful.

Lydia sighed and walked in slowly.

With every step she took, the confusion in Katie's eyes became more and more obvious.Even his body trembled more violently.

Looking at such a person, Lydia had to admit it in her heart, and she was still very relieved.

"Katie." She finally spoke, but her voice was very soft.Lydia squatted down, gently held Katie's shoulders, and shook her.

Katie raised her head anxiously, and looked at Lydia cautiously.But when he met her gaze, he trembled again, turned his head very quickly, and dodged his gaze.

Lydia frowned slightly, and her strength gradually increased: "Why, Katie?"

Yeah, why?

Katie hesitated for a while, as if her soul had gone out of her body.Floating above, looking back at his own skin.Looking back on my life these days, I just feel that I was once ridiculously terrible.

"I thought..." Katie's voice was very small, as if it was leaking from her breath. If Lydia was not very focused, she might not be able to hear clearly.

Katie pursed her lips, and the rosiness at the corners of her eyes increased a bit: "Wickham said, he just wanted to teach you a lesson. He just wanted to scare you... I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!"

Seeing Katie's panic, her whole body was shaking like chaff.The terrified look made Lydia lose her interest.

She simply sat back and sat on the floor with Katie.

He played with a silk scarf indifferently in his hand: "You mean, what he told you was to scare me?"

"Yes! Yes!" Katie nodded quickly, her eyes flickered very quickly, and she blinked at Lydia.But when he met Lydia's gaze, he trembled all over and dodged away in fright.

Lydia was amused: "Then he said how to scare me?"

As if suddenly enlightened, Katie's eyes wandered.But as he kept dodging, the teardrops in his eyes seemed to finally be unable to hold on, and finally fell.

His moist eyes were gradually stained with desolation.

Katie slumped on the spot as if she had lost all strength, and shook her head mockingly: "No, he didn't say anything."

Yes, Wickham only talked about frightening Lydia, that's all, nothing more.

Even, when she was locked in the house, she wished Wickham, like a prince, to rescue her countless times.

However, every time the door was opened, it was Mrs. Hill and the food in her hands.

The blows this time are getting heavier and heavier.After learning that Wickham had never seen Longborn again, he felt even more painful.

When he looked at Lydia again, the guilt in his eyes was about to overflow.

"Sorry, Lydia!" Katie's voice trembled.

Lydia sighed and patted Katie on the shoulder: "I see."

Facing Katie's hopeful gaze, Lydia smiled and said, "But my forgiveness, you have to earn it by yourself."

Katie swallowed her saliva, and nodded fiercely with great anxiety.

She never thought that this horrible experience would affect Lydia's reputation so much.

Missing girl, still so many days!

What's more, Lydia was irreparably hurt...

How could it be so simple and let go?

Lydia didn't lock the door again when she left.However, Katie looked at the open door, but did not rush out as she had hoped on weekdays, and finally felt the feeling of freedom.

However, at this moment, she just sat quietly and lowered her head.

"Lydia?" Darcy came up and patted Lydia's shoulder lightly, "Are you okay?"

At the corner of the stairs, Lydia had stood there for an unknown how long.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Lydia never knew how to respond to this matter.It stands to reason that those who can bring her such an encounter, even if they only take part in a small step, will get Lydia's long-term response.

They won't like that response.

But... as ridiculous as Katie was, she was still her sister.

Relatives, this word is not a simple blood relationship.It's a more complex, long-term entanglement.

Lydia couldn't respond in the way she usually does, but... she couldn't let such a thing pass easily.

She turned her head, looked at Darcy's concerned eyes, and smiled: "It's not very good."

The girl's fragility made his heart softer in Darcy's eyes.His hands clenched a little behind his back.Only then did he raise his hand extremely restrained, and patted the girl's back very gently.

The voice is low: "Is there anything I need to do?"

Lydia shook her head slowly.

However, the fragility of this moment made her approach Darcy very slowly.Give your own weight to you, resting lightly on the man's shoulders.

The warmth at this moment is intoxicating.Even Mr. Bennet, who happened to see all this under the stairs, didn't bother him.

He just smiled very lightly and looked at the book in his hand.

Looking at the two people at the corner of the stairs again, I felt a sense of comfort, and the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes became more gentle because of this heartfelt smile.

"Children..." Mr. Bennet let out a sigh of relief, and turned to leave.

Darcy's eyes flickered, and under Mr. Bennet's blessing eyes, he nodded slightly, and then he tightened his arms even more.Let the girl in this arms lean more comfortably.

"Lydia?" Darcy asked softly.

Lydia looked up: "What's the matter, Darcy?"

The corner of Darcy's mouth was bent, and after a while, he shook his head: "It's okay."

……

In the evening, Jane and Bingley were going back to Netherfield in a carriage.

Of course, so was Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Bennet, who already knew the inside story, still agrees with this pair of lovers in his heart.However, seeing Darcy staring at his little daughter affectionately, I still feel so uncomfortable in my heart...

Mr. Bennet: Watch out, you boy!

Of course, Mr. Bennet's face certainly didn't show the slightest cry in his heart.On the contrary, even very gentlemanly

Wave goodbye.

However, after a few people left, the act of calling Lydia to the study room showed some of this thought.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Lydia asked.

Mr. Bennet sighed: "Katie is really going too far this time, but..."

He only spoke half of his words, but when he saw Lydia's calm face, his words stuck in his throat.After that, the request was impossible to say no matter what.

Lydia smiled and shook her head: "Dear dad, if Katie's temperament is not hit with a heavy hammer, she will never be able to wake up anyway. She has been spoiled too much since she was a child."

Mr. Bennet looked at his youngest daughter, who had grown extremely rapidly in the past few years.With such an aura, no one would doubt that she is the eldest daughter.

He nodded: "So, Lydia, do you already have any ideas?"

Lydia looked out the window: "I heard that there is an excellent women's college on the outskirts of the town..."

"College?" Mr. Bennet didn't respond for a while, "You want Katie to go to a women's college?"

Lydia nodded: "Yes, as for the tuition fees, I can handle it for her."

Such an idea was something Mr. Bennet had never thought of before, and he had never imagined that the youngest girl would be so mature.

The corners of Lydia's lips raised slightly, with a little coldness.Katie is so absurd and horribly absurd. If she is not allowed to experience the tediousness of daily necessities and the hardships of life, how can this naive Katie understand her mistakes?

Tuition fees and so on, always give this sister a chance to exercise and try to be self-reliant, isn't it?

After this near-murder scare, Katie is no longer Lydia's accepted family member.If it weren't for the surname of Bennet in her name, Lydia would never have let her go so easily.

However, such a merciful treatment is enough to make Mr. Bennet love this daughter infinitely.Just thinking about it, I couldn't help being picky about Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Bennet sighed: "What is the relationship between you and Darcy?"
