[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

Although the middle-aged women feel that Mr. Darcy is arrogant, they still can't help but wonder what charming young lady can wear this young man with high eyes.Therefore, when Darcy stepped onto the dance floor with Anne on his arm, the sharp-eyed women discovered that the partner was not the Bingley sister, and they began to gossip enthusiastically.

The result of gossip is that there is absolutely nothing to gossip about.

In terms of birth, the future duchess is enough to disdain the females at the ball; in terms of appearance, if she is not too pale, she can be called a delicate beauty; in terms of matching degree with Mr. Darcy, the two are cousins.

All the ladies in the audience seem to be out of action, everyone should go back early, take off their tights, wash and sleep.

Anne seemed to know that she had become the focus of the audience, and she blushed and asked in her usual soft voice: "Cousin Darcy, I think everyone is watching us!"

"Except for us, there is no other couple on this dance floor that deserves such an enthusiastic discussion." Darcy was very helpless to Anne's stage fright: "You don't have to care about their opinions, what Aunt Catherine means, I just want you to come down and move around Activities, it is best to have fun, it doesn't matter whether others are happy or not. However, the talk on you seems to be enough to keep them happy all night."

He glanced at the gossip team headed by Mrs. Bennet, and said with disdain: "Even if you didn't have a good time because of others, you just think it's to make my aunt feel at ease."

Sensing his gaze, Mrs. Bennet responded with a sneer of "hehe", thinking that this kid just has some filthy money, what kind of madness, his reputation of arrogance has long been spread all over the world, and only those in London Only the ladies who don't know the details will go around him, and the ladies of Meryton have long been shunned.

Darcy was agitated.

Besides, he danced for a long time, and he didn't see where Elizabeth was. After all, they agreed on the first dance after the dinner, and now the first half of the dance was coming to an end, so she had no reason to go away.

"Cousin Darcy, is it boring to dance with me?" Annie noticed Darcy's inattention, and asked timidly, "Why don't you stop and let me go back upstairs."

Darcy quickly suppressed the moment of absent-mindedness, smiled slightly at Anne and said, "It's just that the hall is too hot, so it's inevitable that I'm a little distracted."

Annie expressed her understanding. With such a weak body, she couldn't bear a thin layer of sweat: "Fortunately, I can eat soon. I can't stand another dance."

"Even if you don't have anything to eat, I can't let you dance any more," Darcy said seriously, "but if you do any activities, you will always spend double the time to rest. If you really like dancing, you can dance before the dance is over." I'll let Bingley accompany you on that piece."

"I'm afraid not, although I really want to catch up with Mr. Charles Bingley," Anne's next words made Darcy's whole body tense: "I've been hesitating whether to say it, after all, I can see Not really. Something happened to Miss Elizabeth Bennet earlier, and Mr. Wickham helped her to the side hall. Later, Wickham came out soon, but Miss Elizabeth did not follow. What's the trouble?"

Darcy was about to leave the dance floor subconsciously.

Annie stopped him: "Dance this piece, Cousin Darcy, please finish the dance." She managed to calm Darcy down: "If you leave halfway, you will definitely attract attention, and then you will be counted. If you relieve Miss Elizabeth, it will attract the attention of interested people and spread bad words. Besides, there are people coming and going here, so there won't be any serious incidents that will harm the dignity. I think Miss Elizabeth is a very smart girl."

She had a good point, and Darcy calmed down.

From the moment he dances with Anne, Jane and Lydia have been spying on the official rival.But they separated after the dance. However, Darcy's careful care of Anne during the process is still enviable. What is close to the water, this is it.

Cousin is really a natural and convenient identity.

Darcy was not as excited as they thought. As soon as the song was over, people moved into the restaurant to enjoy the feast prepared by Netherfield.Only Darcy had no intention of eating, but deftly passed through the crowd, and came to the door of the small hall that Anne had told him, but ran into Charlotte.

"Miss Lucas," it is said that Charlotte Lucas is a good friend of Miss Elizabeth. Does this mean that he has put in extra effort, maybe the problem has been solved long ago, but Darcy dare not go away , instead half tentatively asked: "Why do you place an order alone, what can I do for you?"

If Darcy took the initiative to strike up a conversation when Charlotte was most looking forward to it, Charlotte would be ecstatic at the moment; but Charlotte just abandoned Elizabeth, ignoring her plea for help, and locked her in the pile. In the small hall of sundries, he was bumped into by Darcy.

In the luxurious peacock green dress, Charlotte's legs were trembling, but since she had done the thing of locking up the heroine just now, she knew well that one lie needs a hundred lies to cover up, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and hide herself. That set of rhetoric sticks to the end: "I just think it's too hot in the hall, and I want to find a place where there is no one to breathe. It's much better now."

She is very confident that Elizabeth will not publicize this matter afterwards, which will not be good for the reputation of both of them. There will always be half of the people who will believe in themselves, and the other half will believe in Elizabeth, except for the next two years. There is no truth and fairness in this world.

"So that's it." Darcy's expression relaxed, as if he was really worried about Charlotte's body: "There are all kinds of troubles in holding a dance party in such weather, and the dinner party has already started, why don't Miss Lucas move to the restaurant Come. Where is your good friend, Miss Elizabeth, go with her."

"I don't know where Elizabeth is," Charlotte denied; "she was dancing with Wickham just now!"

So Darcy urged her to leave: "She may be in the restaurant, and the young girls should stay together."

Charlotte had to listen to Darcy and leave.

Although there was no clue in the expression on Darcy's face, Charlotte felt that there was no joy in Darcy's deep eyes, and she felt as if she had been seen through.

There is no point in scaring herself, Charlotte comforted herself, even if she was caught outside the door, no one saw her lock the door, and no one (except Elizabeth herself) could prove that she ignored Elizabeth, her It hits the rocks impeccably.

Darcy stood outside the door of the small hall, hesitating whether to unbolt the latch and open the door in front of him that might separate him and Elizabeth.

Yes, Charlotte was lying, he saw it at once.

Others say that he is arrogant because he is too aware of the warmth and coldness of human relationships.He inherited the family business when he was young. In order to protect the surname Darcy and his younger sister, he rolled in the upper class circle early on. When it comes to money and power, the so-called upper class society will only become more dirty.Arrogant, sometimes disdain to expose, even disdain to deal with.Charlotte was worse than the worst rivalry he'd ever met, and he didn't understand what was going on between the two girls, but what Charlotte had done was tarnish the word "friend."

But before opening the door, he hesitated again.

If the opponent he is about to face is a gentleman from Meryton, Darcy will not pay attention to it at all. His arrogance is sure that Elizabeth will definitely choose himself; but if the opponent is Wickham, Darcy is not so sure, The number of losses he suffered at Wickham's hands is also innumerable.

They grew up together in Pemberley Manor. His father was the master, and Wickham's father was a servant, but Darcy took the blame for Wickham more than once when he was a child, making everyone think that Wickham was a good boy and Darcy was mischievous. But for the sake of old Wickham, Darcy would only be more cautious in his words and deeds, but did not punish Wickham.

After getting older, Darcy, as an excellent heir, doesn't need to worry about the older generation at all.Wickham, on the other hand, used his cynical personality to attract more attention, as if he was a poor child who relied on his elders wholeheartedly, while Darcy... Darcy was so strong that no one needed to care.

Really bad, but often painful to say, Wickham seems to be an inescapable opponent, annoying and alarming, reminding Darcy about negative characteristics that he himself does not want to admit.

Darcy thought that Wickham took a lot of benefits from his father by being flattering, so he dismissed him without saying a word after his father died, and old acquaintances who didn't know the truth criticized the young new manor for this. .

He stole his family, and now he wants to get his hands on Elizabeth?

Darcy cannot allow this to happen.

He flung open the door in front of him.

Wearing a pink and white dance dress, Elizabeth curled her legs like a frail little pigeon and hid on the dusty velvet bench. She thought she had been abandoned by this luxurious ball, but she never thought of coming to find her. One of their own would be Darcy.

My sisters cannot be counted on, and that Charlotte is also more selfish than imagined. It is impossible to count on Mary. She may be trying her best to make fun of the Duchess now. Mrs. Bennet is probably half drunk , anyone, just throw her a pair of cook's dusty boots.

Elizabeth was almost desperate.

"Miss Elizabeth Bennet, are you tired now?" Darcy was relieved to see that she was safe and sound: "Dancing two dances in a row makes you so tired? Then I suggest you strengthen your exercise, morning Getting up for a walk is not enough."

He didn't open his mouth to ask what happened to him, but joked about the encounter that morning, which made Elizabeth suddenly feel natural, and even her bare feet were not so embarrassing.

"My shoe is broken," said Elizabeth truthfully. "It's that simple, Mr. Darcy, and I'm afraid I shall miss my appointment today."

Darcy frowned and looked around: "I didn't see the broken shoes."

"Took it by Mr. Wickham," Elizabeth sneered. "Perhaps he wants to be a cobbler?"

"If he has this skill, I have a leather workshop in the north, and he can earn five pounds a year there," Darcy teased Wickham maliciously: "but I know he is not, Miss Elizabeth, Wickham He stole your shoes, sir, and you just danced with a thief without knowing it."

Elizabeth was right, and Mr. Darcy angrily began to turn over old accounts.
