A few days have passed since Colonel Black visited Darcy's mansion that day. During the period, Georgiana and the others also went to the racetrack as they wished, although Caroline did not win the horse betting on the racecourse, but lost It was a mess, but it didn't affect her mood, because the money was kindly sponsored by Darcy.

"Ma'am, I have a letter." Irene ran into Caroline's room panting, and handed a letter to Caroline.

Irene's heart kept rising and falling, panting and looking at Caroline in front of her, like a bellows, it can be seen how violently she ran just now.

"Have a glass of wine", seeing Eileen so, Caroline got her a glass of wine from the table.

"Thank...thank you ma'am", but the wine Irene gulped and drank all the wine in the glass.

"Has this letter just arrived?"

"Yes, ma'am, I haven't read it yet. I'll send it to you as soon as I get it."

"Well", Caroline nodded, opened the envelope and looked at it, and handed the front one to Irene, which was written to her by her friend, Caroline glanced at it and didn't read it, she The focus of attention is on the following letter paper.

"Go down first and rest, and read the letter your friend wrote to you by the way."

"Well, yes, ma'am," Eileen said and exited the room.

Caroline took the letter to the bedside and sat down, read the letter carefully, raised her head, lowered her hands and frowned for a while before she smiled. Besides Irene, the source of the news, Caroline also had other sources. She sent someone to investigate these families. The Simon family was the focus of her investigation. She didn't expect it to be similar to the news in this letter. Although no substantial news was found, Caroline For now, the news in hand is enough.

Caroline knew very early on that it is interesting to compare this world with later generations, and there are people of all kinds.No, another source of information in her hands came from a group of "private detectives" of this era, introduced to her by a government official she met at a ball. Of course, "private detectives" of this era are not called the name.

As for why Caroline didn't rely on the connections of the Darcy family to investigate, it was of course to prevent Darcy from finding out that if he knew that she was investigating these families, she would not be allowed to continue doing so, but took it to himself , This is not what Caroline wants to see. She has done so much, it is impossible for these families to simply apologize in front of Georgiana. Her biggest purpose is to ruthlessly kill each other. After all, a verbal apology is so boring, at least some substantive performance is required, and the most important thing is that she is very poor now.So in order to prevent Darcy from making trouble, she bypassed Darcy directly.

Caroline stood up, sat directly in front of the dressing table, put the letter in her hand aside, took a piece of blank letter paper, and began to write smoothly. At this time, she was in a particularly happy mood. She had a hunch, She's sure to make a fortune this time.

Putting the letter in an envelope, Caroline ordered someone to deliver the letter before walking into the living room. Georgiana was teasing Erwin in Luisa's arms.

Caroline walked over and kissed Erwin, and let Erwin give her a smack on the face by the way, before she sat down on the sofa next to her satisfied.

"Georgianna, you have to hurry up and tidy up. We have been invited by the Marquis of Baron, and we are going to visit the art exhibition later."

Georgiana reluctantly stood up from Erwin: "It would be great if Erwin could go with us, the art exhibition is too boring."

"Don't you like painting very much? Why don't you like going to art exhibitions?"

"Uh..., I just think it's boring to watch with those ladies,"

"Oh~, so that's the case, then well, since this is the case, then you can stay at home. Thanks to Miss Jones, I endured the boredom of watching the art exhibition and agreed to the Marquise's invitation, but believe me, as long as I ask you The Marquise apologized, and she won't mind if you didn't go." Caroline said helplessly.

As soon as the words fell, Georgiana jumped up suddenly, and said in disbelief: "What! Ariel will go too?" After she was happy, Georgiana immediately shook Caroline's arm and said coquettishly: "Caroline is my That's wrong, don't take me there, I'll change clothes right away." After speaking, Caroline didn't give Caroline any time to react, and rushed out of the living room, like a gust of wind, her temper became more and more frizzy.

"Why are you teasing her and hiding from her that Miss Jones is going for so long?" Looking at Georgiana's back in a hurry, Louisa smiled and scolded Erwin in her arms.

"Kids just need to be teased more to be more lively." At the end, Caroline pinched Erwin's little face and gently tugged: "Isn't it, baby~", and the little guy slapped him directly Called her hand, frowned and yelled at Caroline. The experience of this period of time made the little guy subconsciously realize that he must not be too polite to Caroline.

Sure enough, the little guy slapped her hand down, and Caroline smiled brightly: "Ha! Our little baby is getting more and more arrogant," she said, leaning close to his face and kissing him, and by the way, she kissed him on the table. The cake was torn off and fed into his mouth.

Louisa rolled her eyes, she was used to such scenes.

Today Darcy went out to do errands early in the morning, so this time only Caroline and the others accepted the invitation of the Marchioness of Barron.

It was night when the three returned to Darcy's mansion, and Darcy came back one step behind them, followed by Hester and a suitcase of luggage.

"Have you finished your work during this time?" Caroline asked aloud sitting next to them as Hearst hugged his son who hadn't seen him for a long time and sat on the sofa after dinner.

Erwin in Hearst's arms felt strange because he hadn't seen his father for a long time. He kept struggling and was a little unwilling to stay in his arms.

Hearst coaxed Erwin in his arms and said without raising his eyes: "Well, there's nothing to do now, I know you're going to hold a dance tomorrow, so I just came here directly, anyway, it's not long before Christmas gone."

"Then why did you come back with Fitzwilliam?"

Hester turned his head and glanced at Darcy, who was reading a book not far away, and shrugged: "It happened to happen this afternoon, so I just asked him to help me with some things." Hearst sighed complacently : "Darcy is still good, he is better at these things, otherwise I might not be able to sit here and chat with you now."

Caroline was not interested in Hearst's good feeling about herself, she just nodded lightly, stroking Erwin's little head in Hearst's arms, at this time the little guy had calmed down and played with his father finger.

Darcy went out this morning to sign a business contract with Mr. Duran from France, and happened to meet Hearst in the afternoon, no wonder he came back so late.

At dusk on the second day, the sky began to darken, and the night swept across London at an extremely fast speed, and it was completely dark in less than half an hour. At this time, the nightlife—the social dance party had just begun.

The ball at Darcy's mansion was held as scheduled, and it had been prepared for more than a week. Under Caroline's perfect request, the ball was extremely successful.

Caroline, who has seen many commercial receptions in her previous life, naturally incorporated some modern elements into the arrangement of this ball, not many, but it can give people a refreshing feeling, with fashion and elegance amidst luxury breath.

This change was not abrupt, but it finally allowed Caroline to gain a firm foothold in London's upper class.

"Oh! Caroline, your arrangement for this ball is really unique. It seems that you are not only getting more and more insightful in dressing up, but also very good at arranging the ball, but why haven't I seen you before? The ball was so beautifully arranged." Charles glanced at Caroline resentfully: "Could it be that you can only display your talents in this area after you marry the person you love?"

Caroline's mouth twitched, and she didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Charles just complained jokingly, and didn't care whether Caroline answered him, and continued on his own:

"But your dance was so interesting, I danced the whole dance just to have fun, Caroline."

"Are not you tired?"

After hearing what Caroline said, Charles frowned his thick eyebrows: "It's okay if you don't say it, but I really feel a little tired when I say it. It seems that I still won't be able to dance the whole dance in the future."The two walked towards the hall while talking. Just now Charles helped Caroline see off the guests. Now there is no one else in the hall except the servant who is cleaning up the mess.

Charles glanced at the entire hall: "Caroline, why don't we rest here today, so as not to run back and forth again, I also want to rest early, and it's getting late now."

Caroline nodded indifferently: "Up to you", and stopped Mrs. Romero who was instructing the servants to tidy up the hall after speaking.

"Ma'am, what's the matter with you?"

"Let people go and clean up the two guest rooms first. Charles and the others are staying here tonight."

"Okay, ma'am." After listening to Caroline's instructions, Mrs. Romero immediately called the two maids to the guest room on the second floor.

"Then I'll go talk to Jane and the others." After finishing speaking, Charles walked to the living room, while Caroline went directly back to the room to rest.

"What! Charles, you said we're staying at Darcy's mansion tonight?" Jane stood up and looked at Charles in disbelief and said, now she is the last person who doesn't want to stay here, since she met Elizabeth at Earl Riley's mansion last time After thinking about it, Jane is unwilling to have any more contact with Elizabeth and Darcy.

"Well, I'm a little tired today, why don't we just stay here and rest, I'm afraid it will take more than an hour to go back, Elizabeth must be exhausted, we might as well stay here, Darcy and the others won't mind, and Now Hurst and the others are here, everyone is here, and it is more lively. Thinking about the three of us are here now, isn’t this a great idea, after all, we haven’t been together for a long time,” said here , Charles smiled brightly, as if he was happy for his right choice, completely unaware of what his wife was thinking

In Charles' view, Caroline is his sister and Darcy is his best friend, which is enough to prove the close relationship between the Bingley family and the Darcy family, so there is nothing wrong with staying for one night.

As for what happened between Darcy and Elizabeth, it has been so long, not to mention that he didn't see anything wrong with them during these few meetings, so naturally he didn't take it to heart. After all, he was not the person involved. After so long What happened has already become an old thing in his heart.

"Let's go, we should go up and rest."

Elizabeth clutched her skirt tightly, looked at Charles who looked over and nodded silently.
