Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

"breakfast......"

"Don't bother her..."

There was a vague conversation in the distance, and Emma opened her eyes.The strange room was small and tidy, and there seemed to be a warm smell of fireworks in the air, with the aroma of bread.By the way, this is Mr. Thomas' house.

"Good day." Emma greeted everyone sitting around the breakfast table with a smile.

"Good day, Miss Kentra." Mr. Darcy nodded slightly to Emma.

Emmado glanced at Mr. Darcy, wondering if it was her psychological effect. Did Mr. Darcy stare at her for a long time?Could it be that there is something inappropriate about her dress today?Emma surveyed herself indistinctly as she sat down.She was wearing an old dress worn by Mr. Thomas's youngest daughter. It was bright pink, with layers of lace trimming the cuffs and hem. When she looked in the mirror, she thought she looked like a doll.But it was the only young girl's dress in Mr. Thomas's house.

Mr. Darcy's ears still echoed Mr. Thomas' earnest teaching: "Can you accept it? Use your heart to feel more than your head." Mr. Darcy doesn't know how to feel with your heart, but it is always right to observe more.

Mrs. Thomas didn't know Mr. Darcy's feelings. Seeing that Mr. Darcy looked at Emma with a serious expression because of his seriousness, she thought that Mr. Darcy was a little angry because of what happened last night, so she hurriedly said: "Miss Kentra, please forgive me. It's really early. I told the servant not to disturb you. Did you sleep well last night?"

Emma nodded with a smile. "I slept very well, and the fatigue of the past few days has been swept away." Now is not the time to relax vigilance. Although Emma believes in Mr. Darcy's vision, the enemy is still preparing to attack in the dark.So Emma didn't sleep deeply, and woke up when she heard the sound in the morning, but her physical strength and spirit were all restored.

Mrs. Thomas was very pleased with Emma's recovery. "That's all right. You were a little pale yesterday, but you look better today. Mushrooms? That's a cook's specialty. You look too thin."

Emma always felt that there was a shadow of Mrs. Ashley in Mrs. Thomas. Some of the expressions and movements of the two were similar, and their concern for her complexion and figure was also very consistent.However, based on her impression of the original owner, Mrs. Ashley prefers to see Emma's quiet and ladylike side, but Mrs. Thomas prefers a vigorous young man.Emma pretended to be serious and said: "There is a saying in my hometown that even if you miss a dance in London, you can't miss the chef's specialty." She turned to the servant and said: "Please bring me some mushrooms. "

Mrs. Thomas put her handkerchief over her mouth and laughed. "Your hometown must have many smart people who know how to enjoy life."

Emma winked once at Mrs. Thomas. "You guessed right."

Mr. Darcy watched silently, making a mental note.Emma often chooses the most favorable posture for the current situation, such as the cheerful humor at the breakfast table, the panic when the police officer questioned yesterday, and the gentleness and low-key in social situations all the time. Emma has never behaved inappropriately.She must know that the road different from ordinary people is full of thorns, but she still insists on doing so, which shows that independence is really important to her.

For two consecutive days, Emma did not receive any news.Mr. Darcy also stayed honestly at Mr. Thomas's house as a protected object.During these two days, Emma was sure of one thing: she had not had the illusion that morning, and Mr. Darcy was really observing her.

This made Emma feel a little strange. She thought it was best to keep a distance between the two after the failed proposal to avoid embarrassment, but Mr. Darcy seemed to change his attitude overnight.

This made Emma feel a little strange. She thought it was best to keep a distance between the two after the failed proposal to avoid embarrassment, but Mr. Darcy seemed to change his attitude overnight.

In the boring afternoon, Emma sat on the sofa in the living room, as if she was staring intently at the door, but when she looked carefully, she was just in a daze.Delicate features, out-of-focus eyes, and a cute lace-covered dress make her look like a life-size doll.Suddenly, a strong gaze pulled her out of the fugue.

Emma turned her head to look, and sure enough, it was Mr. Darcy who came.

"Are you worried that the investigation will not go well?"

"This is one aspect." Since the confession, Emma was able to speak her mind honestly in front of Mr. Darcy. "I don't actually like to delegate what I can do to others. It might be rude to say that, but I trust the officers to do their best, but I don't trust them to do it well. I prefer to do it myself."

Regardless of the gender factor, Mr. Darcy can understand Emma's thoughts.He felt the same way. "This is just a legitimate concern and cannot be called a faux pas."

Emma immediately became alert.She has some understanding of Mr. Darcy's character, and she said that it is almost impossible to personally investigate according to the current situation, but it is really possible for Mr. Darcy to go out and participate in the investigation when the investigation is not going well.She did not want Mr. Darcy to be in danger. "However, for safety reasons, we can only rely on the police officers now. As long as we are safe, they have failed this time, and whether we can find the mastermind behind the scenes will not affect our victory."

Mr. Darcy caught the exhortation in Emma's words. "I will not act recklessly." Although he has some anxiety, he is very clear that if he is in danger, Emma will also be implicated.At first those people wanted to kidnap him just to threaten Emma. "You don't go out without authorization."

Emma solemnly made her pledge. "Please rest assured, how could a lady go out to investigate a case?"

"A lady who can pass as a man."

Emma thinks it is reasonable for Mr. Darcy to speak less, he only needs to say a sentence that hits the point, and there is no need to add anything to the snake.Again Mr. Darcy hits the point perfectly this time.Faced with Mr. Darcy's sharp eyes that seemed to see through everything, Emma did not lie to him that she would not disguise herself as a man in the future, but this time she really would not pretend to be a man to go out to investigate. "This time I fled here with you in men's clothing. Everyone along the road knows that I am your companion. Even if I dress up as a man again, I will be in danger."

Before that, Mr. Darcy was just guessing, and after listening to Emma's answer, he confirmed that she was real and planned to continue to use men's clothes to do things in the future.Appearance is one of Emma's few female characteristics. Will Emma give up even this in the future? "Do you really want to be a man at all?"

"Of course not." If it wasn't forced by the patriarchal society, Emma would not want to pretend to be a man.It is very inconvenient to go to the toilet to wash.You have to correct feminine movements when you walk and eat, and you must always remember that you are a mute. "Only when the need arises. As a gentleman earning £[-] a year, you should be very aware that locking yourself up at home and making investment choices is a gamble. I need information on all sides, even if I don't visit At least you have to communicate in person to get more credible information.”

Emma was right.Usually gentlemen don't make decisions blindly, but this is what gentlemen do.Mr. Darcy did not expect Emma to go so far. "I thought you'd give those jobs to agents."

Emma asked back: "Will you simply sign the investment plan submitted by the agent?"

"No." Of course Mr. Darcy would not.The best surrogates for him are obedient ones.

"I agree with you in this regard." But this time, Emma felt that her original idea was a bit simple.She hopes to solve the contradiction between doing business and maintaining image through men's clothing, but now it seems that even if it is men's clothing, it is not easy to conceal it for a long time. Once this matter is exposed, it may cause serious damage to the Kentra family's reputation. "I will put maintaining my image first. If there is an irreconcilable conflict between reputation and career, I am willing to make some concessions in career. After all, my reputation is not only related to myself." Emma has traveled through several years , Compared with the original thinking, some changes have also taken place.

"This is a wise decision." Mr. Darcy recorded it silently in his heart again.

On the afternoon of the third day, the police officer led two people into Mr. Thomas' home.

As soon as Emma saw the two people behind the police officer, her eyes lit up instantly.They are confidant servants who know her identity. "Thank God you're all right."

The servant was also very excited to see Emma. "Fortunately, you are safe and sound."

In addition to the servants, the Inspector also brought good news. "We have already investigated the identity of the prisoner. Because your servant caught two prisoners who were chasing. Although he refused to explain, because they are all wanted criminals, the identity was quickly found out."

Emma gave the servant an appreciative look. "who is it?"

"Soldiers who participated in the South American Colonial War four years ago, they are all wanted for mutiny."

Emma narrowed her eyes.Four years ago, more than three years ago, old Mr. Kentra was killed.South America, witch doctor.Soldiers are also fugitives, acting low-key and ruthless.Every point is right.No, there is one more point. "They were once my uncle, Mr. Browne's staff?"

It was the first time the officer had heard of Mr. Brown. "We didn't ask about that. They weren't with Mr. Brown when the mutiny happened four years ago."

Emma hesitated to speak, and finally made up her mind after a while, and said softly: "I know that you should not make accusations without evidence, but my brother has found out that these people may have some connection with uncle. If possible, I would like to ask you to investigate Take a look at their relationship with uncle."

It is indeed wrong to accuse without evidence, but Emma begged so embarrassingly that the police officer could not refuse. "No problem, please rest assured."

After the police officer left, Emma first wrote a letter to George, reporting the latest situation brought by the police officer.

Another day later, the police officer sent someone to tell Emma that these two people were indeed Mr. Brown's subordinates. In fact, all the fugitives wanted for mutiny were once Mr. Brown's subordinates.
