Mrs. Darcy's daily life

"Da, da, da", the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground slowed down, and as the coachman pulled the reins, the car stopped steadily.

"Ma'am, Miss, the London Hotel has arrived," said the valet, who opened the door and stood respectfully by the door.

"Well", as soon as Caroline finished speaking, she got out of the car and stood in front of the London Hotel. The tall gate and the wall made of white jade bricks came into view. With a strong Gothic style.

Caroline turned around and smiled at Georgiana who was behind her, and Georgiana quickly stepped forward to hold her arm, and the two walked towards the hotel.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two came to a box, which was already full of people. The wine tasting and communication were lively and relaxed.

Caroline curled up her lips and looked at the scene in front of her.

"Oh, Mrs. Darcy and Miss Darcy, you are here." Seeing Caroline and Georgiana, several men and a lady immediately stopped socializing and put down their glasses to greet Caroline and the others. Baron Peterson even directly He stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long," Caroline apologized with a polite smile, but her tone was not apologetic at all.

"No, no, it's just that we arrived early, Mrs. Darcy, you came just in time," Baron Peterson welcomed the two into the room, and poured red wine for them in a gentlemanly manner.

The ladies who were talking in a group, saw Caroline and the others, and sat down beside their parents.

When Baron Peterson was still about to say something, Caroline interrupted him and said straight to the point: "I'm here this time because of Georgiana's school affairs. I believe I have made it very clear in the letter. Do you have any comments?"

"No, of course not, Mrs. Darcy, this matter is our fault. Miss Darcy has been wronged so much. I came here today to ask Abby to apologize to Miss Darcy in person," Baron Peterson said. , and finally turned his head to look at the daughter sitting beside him and said solemnly: "Abby, quickly apologize to Miss Darcy."

"You don't need to be so anxious, Viscount Peterson. I think it's better to clarify the matter first, tell me, Mrs. Darcy." Viscount Simon was sitting on the side with a glass of red wine and interrupted Viscount Peterson coldly.

These people also came to this hotel after receiving Caroline's letter. Although they chatted for a while, it was just some gossip. There was not much time to reach a consensus on today's matter, and they all had different ideas. .

Obviously, Viscount Simon and Baron Peterson were the two most extreme expressions, while the others sat on the sidelines and watched silently.

"Oh? It seems that Viscount Simon has other opinions," Caroline said indifferently.

"Mrs. Darcy, I just want to make things clear, I hope you don't mind."

Caroline nodded with a look of approval: "I completely agree with what Viscount Simon said, since that's the case." Caroline turned to Georgiana beside her and said, "Georgianna, go to the box next door to rest for a while. Viscount Simon and the others have a good talk."

"Caroline~", Georgiana looked worriedly at Caroline, obviously not wanting to leave.

Patting her on the back, Caroline said with a smile: "It's okay, go quickly, I invited Miss Jones and the others here today, they are in the next box, they must be waiting for you now, and wait a while They can testify for you too, can't they? Go ahead."

Although Georgiana was tempted, she was still hesitant. It took Caroline a lot of words to convince Georgiana. After she left, Viscount Simon also let the other ladies in the room leave and rebooked a box for them.

The whole room was half empty in an instant, only Caroline and a few men and women.

"Mrs. Darcy, although you wrote a letter to describe the situation in the school in detail, and you also sent Miss Jones and the others a certificate, but this is only your one-sided statement. I think it is all blamed on us Bernie. , It seems to be too much. There are conflicts among the children in the school, and both parties are probably responsible.” After Georgiana and the others left, Viscount Simon directly attacked Caroline, but he did not explicitly say that Caroline and Miss Jones, they are a gang, slander them.

"Yes, Mrs. Darcy, I think it is normal for children to have conflicts at school. Mrs. Darcy, you really don't have to make such a fuss, and because of this incident, you threatened to publish in the newspaper that you would cut off from our families." All dealings, this..., huh, Mrs. Darcy, don't you think it's too... too much", Baron Ashley, who was the only lady present besides Caroline, didn't make much noise Madam said with a smile.

No one spoke this time, and even Viscount Peterson, who originally advocated an apology, sat silently and waited for the matter to develop.

The Baroness Ashley can be said to have expressed the aspirations of all the men present, which is what they are most afraid of.

At the beginning, Caroline stated in the letter that if they could not give her a satisfactory answer, the Darcy family would directly publish it in the newspaper and cut off all ties with them, so they had to take this matter seriously .Even Viscount Simon felt dissatisfied with being threatened by Caroline, thinking that she was just a stupid woman who didn't know the importance, but even so, he had to swallow his anger and come here because of the other party's identity.

It is not terrible to cut off ties with the Darcy family. They usually have little contact with this family, but if this matter is published in the newspapers, the consequences will be quite serious. This will undoubtedly announce to the entire upper class that they are at odds with the Darcy family. They cannot afford the consequences.I am afraid that no decent family will dare to associate with them in the future. After all, the Darcy family not only owns half of Derbyshire, but is also one of the largest steel suppliers in the UK. Such a family is extremely terrifying in terms of wealth and connections. What's more, the Darcy family also has considerable power in the church. Even they themselves can't guarantee that none of their relatives holds the position of pastor or priest in the church.

Facing the words of Baroness Ashley, Caroline smiled lightly while holding the wine glass, leaned forward slightly, and looked directly at the other party with indifferent eyes. Coming, the overwhelmed Mrs. Ashley couldn't breathe, she could only stare blankly at her opening and closing her lips and casually speaking extremely chilling words.

"Excessive? No, I don't think it is excessive at all. Since I dare to bully our Darcy family, I will naturally make him pay the price." Caroline bit the word "price" very clearly. All the faces turned pale in an instant, and at this moment they realized that Mrs. Darcy's invitation to them here might not be as simple as a simple apology.

Caroline's eyes swept over everyone's faces, obviously not vicious eyes, even extremely plain, but for some reason, everyone felt as if they were being stared at by a poisonous snake, which was creepy .At this moment, everyone no longer dared to think that the woman in front of them was so foolish, or dared to underestimate her.

Caroline fixed her gaze, and finally landed on Viscount Simon, and said with a smile, "Did you say so, Viscount Simon." This Viscount Simon can be said to be the most wealthy of the five sitting, and he is not like the others. The family is just a down-and-out aristocrat with an empty title. Although the early Simon family was not optimistic, Viscount Simon forced this declining family back by virtue of his own ability. Now he is also engaged in overseas trade in order to earn wealth. It can be said that He is a veteran nobleman with ability and vision, but he naturally has two other biggest problems, that is, arrogance and self-esteem.

Viscount Simon looked gloomy, staring at Caroline and said: "So, Mrs. Darcy wants to tear faces with our family?"

The others kept silent and did not speak. They are also old nobles. Caroline is not giving face, so they are naturally uncomfortable. Viscount Simon was able to suppress Caroline, and they were all happy. If the talk broke down in the end, it would not be too late for them to bow their heads to Caroline.

"Tear your face? Hehe, it's not about me, but about your actions. I made it very clear in the letter at the beginning. If you can give me a satisfactory answer to this matter, I, the Darcy family, will not blame the past." , but if..." Caroline did not continue, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and everyone sitting here knew her unfinished words.

Viscount Simon snorted coldly: "Satisfactory answer? What kind of satisfactory answer does Mrs. Darcy want? It seems that Mrs. Darcy doesn't just want an apology?"

Caroline put down her wine glass and pursed her lips with a smile: "Viscount Simon is really smart. Of course, this apology cannot be just a sentence. Naturally, there must be an apology. Your daughter bullied us Georgiana in school, so you should give me some compensation. .”

"What compensation does Mrs. Darcy want?" Viscount Simon asked with a bad face.Caroline was all about bullying, so it didn't really matter who was right what happened at school.

Caroline tilted her head and nodded with her index finger, as if she was thinking about what compensation she wanted. After a while, Caroline glanced over Viscount Simon's face, and said very clearly: "I heard that Viscount Simon started two years ago. Overseas trade, a batch of goods was sent to the east, and it is almost back now. It seems that it will land in Thames, London a month later. Why don't you use this batch of goods as compensation for Viscount Simon? Of course, I won't let you, Viscount Simon. At a loss, the Darcy family will return all the money you paid for the goods two years ago, how about it?"

As soon as Caroline finished speaking, everyone present gasped.
