Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Curiosity drove Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet to prick up their ears, but they soon wished they hadn't.

"Dude, it's really yours. So that little beauty called Lydia really agreed to meet you privately?"

"Didn't you hear it from the sidelines? It's a compliment that I accepted it, but it can't pay off your gambling debt. I'm willing to accept the bet. Next time you come to the tavern in the town to treat you, I must order the best wine."

"It's not fair! It's the first time I've come to Lumborn, but you've been here several times. You must know the inside story before you come to bet with me."

"Haha, you finally realized it. That's right, the youngest girl in the Bennett family is the little beauty named Lydia. Like her sister and mother, she always walks around in uniforms. Handy girl..." The flippant comment was interrupted by Mrs. Bennet, who rushed out like a raging bull.

"You shameless, indecent, frivolous, dirty fellow!" Mrs. Bennet showed her sharp nails, and grabbed the officer who bet with Lydia.

The two officers hid in the depths of the garden and whispered, never expecting to be heard by the client's mother, who was taken aback.

Mrs. Bennet often makes jokes, but this is the first time she has been involved in a fight, and she is not very proficient in business.However, when the mother is standing up for her children, she has a desperate momentum.The officer felt guilty and dodged again and again.For a moment Mrs. Bennet had the upper hand.

Elizabeth was so enraged by the officer's words that she didn't check for a while, and Mrs. Bennet rushed out.Elizabeth came to her senses and immediately realized that it was wrong to do so.Whether or not Mrs. Bennet won the fight, Lydia and Mrs. Bennet's reputations would be completely ruined, and the sisters in the family would be implicated, if it got serious.Besides, Mrs. Bennet had no chance of winning.In any case, Mrs. Bennet must be dragged back.

At this time, Mrs. Bennet had scratched the enemy's neck three times with her own bravery.Considering the difference in height and force between the two sides, this is already quite an astonishing result.Mrs. Bennet said triumphantly: "Coward, weren't you very majestic just now? Come on, let me see who dares to bully my daughter."

The officer felt a sharp pain in his neck, and when he reached out to touch it, blood was already oozing out.He was also annoyed.In a real fight, ten Mrs. Bennet would not be enough for him.He didn't fight back out of reason, thinking that it would be okay to let Mrs. Bennet vent her anger, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Bennet not only didn't stop, but instead slapped him several times and said so to his face.It would be fine if he was the only one there, with his comrades watching beside him, if he didn't fight back, he might be looked down upon.The officer grabbed Mrs. Bennet's hand, and his expression became a little scary. "What did you say?"

Elizabeth wanted to stop Mrs. Bennet, but instead stood in front of Mrs. Bennet. "Let go! Do you want to violate the discipline of the army?"

Elizabeth's focus was very accurate, and she immediately hit the opponent's weakness.In foreign countries, the army can be domineering in the garrison, but in the country, an officer who hurts the wife of a squire will definitely be punished.It's a pity that Elizabeth doesn't know much about men, and her attitude is too blunt, which makes the other party feel a little embarrassed.

The officer looked sullenly and condescendingly at Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet.Despite the pain in her wrist, Mrs. Bennet struggled to keep her daughter behind her.

Elizabeth's lips trembled slightly, this was the first time she confronted a man head-on.The other party was tall, and the shadow firmly covered her, because the backlight could not see the other party's expression clearly, only those eyes could be seen, which were full of anger and violence.In order not to look weak, she bit her lip and straightened her back.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind.

Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet turned their heads at the same time, and the two officers looked up into the distance vigilantly.Elizabeth prayed in her heart: it must be a man who comes.

Soon, the four of them saw the unexpected guest clearly.Elizabeth's prayers were answered, and it was indeed a man.But Elizabeth didn't feel very happy, because the other party was the "dissatisfied" gentleman.Any other gentleman would lend a helping hand to a lady in distress, but will this dissatisfied gentleman, who never cares for a lady's face, help?

The officer who was holding Mrs. Bennet felt that the other party's gaze carried an invisible pressure, which made his hand tingle.He quickly let go of his hand. "Hey, don't get me wrong. I was doing it in self-defense. I asked a lady out on a date and she said yes. But her mother thought I did something and came out and attacked me indiscriminately. Look." He flashed Wounds on the neck.

Elizabeth lost the opportunity and said angrily: "How can you turn black and white like this! It is obvious that you tricked Lydia, bet her with others, and slandered her behind her back, so mother will feel wronged for Lydia."

"I don't." The officer said to Mr. Darcy: "You can go and ask, Miss Lydia hangs around with us officers all day long, it's not because we tricked or forced her, and the promise of a date is the same. "

Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. Lydia had been among the officers since the ball, and Mr. Darcy once gave her a very disapproving look.Hearing these words, this harsh and unreasonable gentleman will definitely say, "You have to bear your own mistakes."

"I have always believed that I have to bear my own mistakes." Mr. Darcy said in a deep voice.

And look, it did.Elizabeth wondered if she could rush back to the ballroom to find Mr. Bennet.

"However." Mr. Darcy changed the subject. "Malicious deceit is more shameful than stupid ignorance."

"Cheating..." The other party reacted, took a few steps towards Mr. Darcy with a hint of threat, and almost whispered a warning close to him: "You may have some misunderstandings about the situation in front of you... ..."

Such low-level threats had no effect on Mr. Darcy, but Mr. Darcy could not bear the smell of alcohol coming from the officer's mouth.With a twist of his wrist, the umbrella shook twice deftly like the blade of a sword, separating the opponent. "There is no misunderstanding."

Both Elizabeth and Mrs. Bennet were laymen, and the action just now seemed quite ornamental to them.But the two officers knew very well that Mr. Darcy should be a good swordsman. They didn't have guns, and even two-on-one couldn't get any bargain.

Mr. Darcy continued: "Maybe you want to let Xilik judge whether there is a misunderstanding."

The attitude of the two officers softened immediately.They had a tough attitude just now, because in their eyes, Mr. Darcy was a landowner and businessman without a noble title. Although he was very rich, he could not influence the army.Mr. Darcy's justice is not as good as Elizabeth's crying can bring them trouble.But it now appears that Mr. Darcy has a little personal relationship with their boss.The officer next to him was even less courageous, and immediately said: "We shouldn't bet on a lady, I would like to apologize to this lady." He gave in, and the other person had no reason to insist. "I am also willing to apologize for my words and deeds when I was drunk. I am really sorry. That bet was just a joke, and I will never put it into practice."

Mrs. Bennet would be reluctant to let someone else do the justice. Mr. Darcy, who was a little afraid in her heart that she would not show the lady's favor, snorted reluctantly under Mr. Darcy's expressionless gaze, Even if it is a temporary truce by default.

Seeing that Mrs. Bennet said nothing, the two officers wanted to leave.Mr. Darcy said in a deep voice: "Only five people know about today's matter."

The two officers knew what Mr. Darcy meant.Only the two parties and Mr. Darcy know about this matter. If it spreads in the future, it must be their leak, and Mr. Darcy will continue to pursue it.The officer who bowed his head first assured: "There will never be a sixth person to know." The officer who was scratched by Mrs. Bennet also expressed the same meaning.

Mr. Darcy nodded, and said nothing more until they hurried away.

Mrs. Bennet was still angry, but much more at ease.And Mr. Darcy, who helped her, is not so hideous. "Perhaps you would like to visit my house in two days? There is still some Chinese tea left from last time." During the last afternoon tea, Mr. Darcy did not respond to Mrs. Bennet's praise of the Chinese tea. Mrs. Bennet I believe those expensive teas will win praise this time.

Elizabeth also tried to smile kindly at Mr. Darcy.Despite some arrogance, the essence of this gentleman is very good.

Mr. Darcy flatly refused. "You should leave it for the guests who appreciate it more. If you want to express your gratitude, please pay more attention to avoid what happened today."

"..." Mrs. Bennet and Elizabeth realized that, despite their help, Mr. Darcy was still "Mr. Dissatisfied", that unlovable, arrogant fellow.
