[Zhongyingmei] Good men are to be robbed!

The few days of travel brought the relationship between Caroline and Ruth closer.Compared with Darcy's accident, Mr. Bingley was surprised but also very happy.

Netherfield had been cleaned long ago and was waiting for the owner to move in.Mr. Bingley has been restless since he arrived here.He sat for a while, stood for a while, looked outside the door for a while, and turned around in the room for a while.

"If you've made up your mind, we can start now." Darcy suggested, looking amused at his friend's fidgeting.

"Oh, of course, I mean, we'd better go tomorrow and take a rest, it's too hasty!" Mr. Bingley was a little incoherent, but none of these could conceal the excitement on his face.

Caroline didn't have a lot of affection for the eldest lady of the Bennett family who was about to become her sister-in-law, so she didn't go with her stupid brother the next day, but stayed in Netherfield instead.Ruth naturally stopped by.

"Actually, you don't need to accompany me," Caroline said with a gloomy face and a little anger, "Bennet's ladies are all witches, you should follow Mr. Darcy and declare your identity as Mrs. Darcy, lest Hooked off by someone, you know, Mr Darcy said not long ago that Miss Elizabeth was one of the prettiest girls he ever knew."

Ruth's eyes sparkled, but she didn't answer the conversation, but started another topic: "Does Mr. Bingley plan to buy Netherfield to live in? The scenery here is beautiful, and the folk customs are also very simple."

"Who knows? Anyway, I don't want to live here. You haven't seen Mrs. Bennett. It's a shame to have those relatives who are rude." Caroline looked disgusted, and the topic changed smoothly.

Elizabeth, on the other hand, had been disturbed since hearing that Mr. Darcy had come to Longbourn.She thought, after such a long time, such a thing happened again, and he still came to her, [His affection, his wish, is still unswerving; thinking of this, her pale face recovered It was blood-colored, and it looked even more vivid. She couldn't help but smile with joy, her eyes shining brightly.But she was still worried after all.

She thought: "Let me see how he behaves first, and then it's not too late to hope."]

It's a pity that Mr. Darcy's performance after his arrival was completely beyond her expectation.Except for giving her a deep look when they first met, he hardly talked to her afterwards. He seemed to have something on his mind and was taciturn.

Elizabeth was disappointed and at the same time blamed herself for being disappointed.

[She thought: "How did you expect him to be like this? Then why did he come?"] Thinking of this, she felt a little wronged.

During this visit, Mr. Bingley did not propose to the eldest sister of the Bennet family.Perhaps it was because after a year, he felt that it was time to proceed gradually.Mr. Bingley began to visit the Bennets frequently, and anyone with eyes could see what he was thinking.

Darcy, on the other hand, stopped going after two visits with Mr. Bingley, and he seemed more silent than usual.The occasional gloomy look at Ruth sent a chill down her spine and made her hair stand on end.

On this Tuesday, Longborn had many guests.Darcy offered to take Ruth to the banquet together, which made Caroline, who was originally dead, interested, and attended with Bentley.

No matter how much Elizabeth was expecting, she waited anxiously.When Ruth appeared with Darcy on her arm, Elizabeth did not feel the curious gazes of the crowd at all, but stood there blankly, staring at the two.

Ruth also saw Elizabeth at first sight.She has not yet become Mrs. Darcy, but her face is still immature after years of experience in the high society, and her charming eyes are still so smart and full of vitality.Even though it would be a little lost and sad, she still straightened her back and forced a smile.

Ruth's beauty is comparable to that of Jane, but in terms of temperament, there is a difference between clouds and mud, and Jane is far behind.

Mrs. Bennet didn't like to see a woman who was more beautiful than her own daughter at all, but she finally remembered her identity as the hostess, and when she rolled her eyes, she had an idea: "Is this lady Mr. Darcy's fiancee? From what I've seen over the years, you really match!" Here, Mrs. Bennett is still complacently pulling her into a pair with the overly arrogant gentleman, so that there will be no threat to her daughters!Familiar with her words, everyone present frowned deeply. If Ruth were not Darcy's fiancée, her words would be a great damage to a girl's reputation.In this society where the reputation is too high, this is really vicious!

Before Elizabeth could be lamented by her mother's stupid behavior, Mr. Darcy on the other end frowned slightly and nodded: "My fiancée, Miss Ruth White." He specifically named Ruth's noble background, because he Knowing the characteristics of a person like Mrs. Bennet, in fact, he was right.Upon hearing of Ruth's identity, Mrs. Bennet changed her face instantly, her decibels became louder, and she seemed even more excited: "Oh! God! I am so lucky to have a countess as a guest at Longbourn. I swear there will never be a nobler guest in all Meryton!"

Elizabeth, who was about to come over, stopped her footsteps, her eyes widened, and there was disbelief and obvious injury in her eyes.

Darcy also obviously saw Elizabeth, but he didn't seem to care. He brought Ruth a drink and stood beside her all the time. The two talked from time to time and looked very close.

This hit Elizabeth hard.Obviously not long ago in Pemberley, he was still such an approachable person, and his eyes were still full of affection.It's only been a few months now, and a marriage contract has already been concluded!She looked at Ruth critically: the golden thick curly hair was draped softly behind her, a pair of clear sea-blue almond eyes embedded in a white oval face, the bridge of the nose was high, and the cherry lips were full and full of luster.She has a dignified demeanor, and her shallow smile makes people feel kind and distant.She was dignified, and even Elizabeth had to admit that it was a nobility in her bones, not the superficial superiority of a chin-raised, eyes-on-head arrogance.Elizabeth was very depressed.

"You don't look welcome." Ruth sipped her drink to hide the schadenfreude.

"Do you need some lamb chops?" Darcy passed forward the plate in his hand.

Ruth took a small bite obediently: "I have to say, the lamb chops here are really well cooked, and the ingredients are very fragrant."

"If you like, we can bring a chef home." Although he himself is not interested in this kind of food full of country flavor, since Ruth likes it, he doesn't mind a little trouble.

Ruth looked at Darcy suspiciously, as if she was looking at a - crazy person.Darcy was embarrassed by his own brain hole, he resisted to pry open the head of the ignorant little fool in front of him to see what was inside, but he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch it. She took a handful of her pink and tender cheeks.Seeing her face change instantly, her watery eyes were round and round, like a little squirrel with fried fur.

"Cough" Darcy coughed in a cover-up manner, and said with a serious face, "Eat well."

If this wasn't a public place, Ruth would really like to grab his dead face that hasn't changed for thousands of years!

"Hello, Mr. Darcy." Elizabeth finally plucked up the courage to come up to say hello. Her smile was a little pale, and her eyes were not as bright as before.

"Hello, Miss Elizabeth." Darcy's face was serious, and it was impossible to tell from his unwavering eyes that the girl he had loved and proposed to was standing in front of him. "This is Ruth." White, my fiancée."

Walking from Elizabeth, Ruth kept a social smile that was neither too much nor too little.It's just that Darcy's simple introduction nearly shattered Ruth's gentle mask into pieces.Even though she tried her best to restrain herself, her small eyes couldn't stop glancing to the side.Others don't know, but she knows that Elizabeth is the future Mrs. Darcy, the mistress of Pemberley!But Darcy, he actually introduced his fiancée to the woman he was going to marry!

Dozens of associations immediately formed in Ruth's mind.He may be out of etiquette, after all, they are still working together, and he is very upright and rigid.Perhaps in a moment he would have her tell Elizabeth the truth.Or, they quarreled and had conflicts, so she was used as a fighter?Or are they still not there yet?Did it happen after Jane Bennett married Bentley?Ruth's suspicious little eyes flicked back and forth between the two, as if she wanted to see them through.

Elizabeth, who was already guilty, felt a little embarrassed when Ruth saw it. She even wondered if Darcy told her what she said when she was married, whether they laughed at her for not knowing herself, and that A sense of justice that thinks it's smart but is stupid.But Darcy in front of her reminded her that this was a man of noble character who helped her family, and she shouldn't speculate about him maliciously again.Shame, embarrassment and anxiety made Elizabeth unable to stay for a moment.She had wanted to find out if the gentleman had let go of his feelings for her, but now she couldn't think of anything.

"I wish you all a good time. I'll go to my sister's place to see if I can help you." Her departure was as hasty as her arrival.

"She seems to have misunderstood something." Ruth poked Darcy with her arm, whether it was gleeful or worried.

"What can be misunderstood." Darcy's expression was very calm, and his pair of dark eyes staring straight at her made her flustered.

"Don't you need me to explain to her? It's not good to misunderstand. Although I won't delay you for too long, what if she marries someone else out of sadness." Although she was very unhappy and a little sour, but Ruth still persuaded.She is not very kind, she doesn't like Elizabeth at all, but since it is cooperation, she will still fulfill the agreement.
