Charlotte has to suspect that the "unique" discovery in Darcy's mouth is the unlucky Elizabeth.

After all, the place where she lied eagerly after meeting Darcy was just outside that door.

So Darcy has not found out.

She panicked and dropped the glass by mistake. Darcy, who deliberately let her hear this sentence, became more sure now.Even if Charlotte Lucas wasn't the cause, she at least turned a blind eye to her friend's plight, and even contributed to it.Even if she hides it out of good intentions and goes outside to find a way like herself, she should never sit here peacefully and eat and drink.

So how unreliable friendships between women really are.

Darcy's gaze made Charlotte feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. During this period, she was almost bewildered by the Netherfield Ball, and she couldn't bear the suspicion of her target.

"Did Mr. Darcy see Elizabeth when he was prowling about? I couldn't find her anywhere," she suggested maliciously. "And Mr. Wickham was not in the dining-room either."

This approach was so stupid that instead of arousing Darcy's favor, it made Darcy angry.

Charlotte, it can almost be regarded as hatred because of love, her words can easily ruin Elizabeth's reputation.

And Darcy is desperate to preserve Elizabeth's reputation: "What a coincidence, I met Miss Elizabeth Bennet before I came in. She was in a little trouble. I told her that because I invited the first dance after dinner , ask her to solve her own troubles, otherwise it would be a pity to miss the dance."

This remark unexpectedly won the favor of others, because there is no one who does not like to dance.

Bingley even laughed and said, "But it would be a pity to miss this dinner!"

When she was finished, Charlotte put down her knife and fork, and left the table early.

Lydia found that Darcy had been staring at Charlotte seemingly nonchalantly, drinking instead of eating, and she couldn't hold back for a long time.Lydia was sitting on Bingley's right hand side, and after finally waiting for Darcy to sit on Bingley's left hand side, Darcy was only looking at the unattractive woman.

Lydia pointed to a plate not far away, crossed Bingley enthusiastically and said to Darcy: "Every time I dance continuously, I will be too hot to eat, Mr. Darcy, why don't you try some iced desserts?" , it stands up like the rice red stake, I guess it's made of strawberry juice, it's sweet and sour, very appetizing."

Rice dividends... piles?

Darcy and Bingley looked in the direction of Lydia's finger, speechless for a moment.

"Miss Lydia Bennet, you can call it another name," Darcy corrected blankly: "It's called Solomon's Temple."

The little angel Bingley hurriedly gave Lydia strength and gave Darcy a hand by the way: "This is a recipe that came out of the Prince Regent's palace not long ago. It's not surprising that the young lady doesn't know about it."

It was actually a giant pudding, with a French name engraved on the mold, but Lydia obviously didn't recognize it.

Caroline sneered shamelessly.

Lydia became angry from embarrassment, but she didn't dare to say a word, she was uneducated and said too many mistakes.At least she has studied the erhu for two years, and she knows what is high mountains and flowing water, and what is a lower Riba person.

In the end, she straightened her proud chest and concentrated on... eating.

The turbulent meal did not last long. The housekeeper Caroline hired temporarily entered the restaurant with the iconic sound of a large bunch of keys. Mr. Darcy was still Mr. Bingley, his former employer. He thought about it and walked towards Miss Bingley.

Caroline wiped her mouth very calmly and gracefully, and was very happy to be the hostess in the house where Darcy was in charge.

"The doctor from London is here," the butler said in a moderate voice, just enough for everyone to hear: "Miss Bennet..."

Caroline quickly threw down the napkin: "This is a big deal," she called the Bennets: "You two, come upstairs with me, no matter what diagnosis the doctor makes, Miss Bennet should want your company .”

Mr. Bennet put down his glass, while Mrs. Bennet gulped down a spoonful of caviar, looking at Bingley.

Bingley said that he would go up in a while, but turned his head and only talked to Darcy, so the old lady had to leave embarrassingly.

The doctors from London were unexpectedly young. Unlike the doctors practicing medicine in the countryside, the doctors in the city were proud of being highly educated and young, so no one expressed any doubts about the doctor's experience, but the patients themselves were unexpectedly Young and beautiful, but luxurious and ruddy, Caroline introduced that she was a temporary guest rather than a relative, and the doctor couldn't help but think a little more.

The person who came to invite him said that he was a patient with "pulmonary disease". Does this seem to be suffering from lung disease?

Out of professional ethics, he took out a series of instruments to do a comprehensive inspection for Jane.

During the period, he hinted at the people present: "Miss Bennet looks very good."

"It's very hot today, and there was a dance at home just now, so it's inevitable that blood will come to my eyes." Caroline explained very intimately: "Miss Bennet is really a poor person."

The doctor coughed involuntarily.

So at this time Bingley and Darcy opened the door and came in. Darcy should have tried to find a way for Elizabeth, but if there was a clear explanation of Jane's condition, he could bring the news to Elizabeth as soon as possible.Even those who have just entered the door can find that the doctor's expression is not quite right, and the examination has been going on for too long, as if the doctor is not thinking about the condition, but how to talk about it with them who are looking forward to it .

"I don't think Miss Bennet's condition is serious," said the doctor at last, intending to tell the truth: "in other words, she is quite healthy now."

"Ah?" Jane was the first to react: "This is impossible."

The doctor said that he was a professional, and he was not very happy about Jane's refutation. Isn't it a happy thing to be healthy.

As a person from the Celestial Dynasty, Jane is used to yelling at doctors, and she never thinks that the doctor is a "respectable" profession. Whether she has pneumonia or not, someone must bear the responsibility: "If you didn't misdiagnose , Dr. Jones of Meryton misdiagnosed, shouldn't there be an explanation?"

Doctors have to protect their own face, but also to protect the face of their colleagues, so that we can meet each other in the future: "After two weeks, no one can be sure about the development of the disease!"

Caroline had no intention of persuading her at all. In the eyes of outsiders, it could be easily concluded that Jane was pretending to be sick so that she could live in Netherfield Gardens. However, the doctor exposed her tricks, so she wanted to throw the pot away. Doctor's head.

Mr. Bennet stood in a corner with Bingley and Darcy, not saying a word.

Mrs. Bennet quickly explained to the doctor: "But Jane vomited blood at that time! She vomited blood, and there were blood in the sputum! That day she had a terrible cough, so Dr. Jones said that she might have pneumonia."

"Perhaps she just coughed up the lesion. If Dr. Jones made the diagnosis based on the bloody sputum, there is nothing wrong with such a conclusion. On the contrary, I would like to say something very professional, and Miss Bennet's physical recovery ability Very good, he recovered in the next few days." The doctor couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The patient usually knows best about his physical condition. If he really suffers from pneumonia, how can he still dress up and go to the prom? Banner Miss Tate is a lucky one who is blessed by God."

Jane wanted to say something more, but was forced to swallow it by the smile on Caroline's face.

Arguing with the doctor is useless. The reality is that I am not sick. As the saying goes, a healthy body is the capital for future battles.

She forced a smile and said: "It seems that Elizabeth often persuaded me to go for a walk, and it worked. No wonder I feel more and more energetic recently."

"Isn't it?" Caroline asked the servant to arrange a temporary residence for the doctor: "I think you look radiant, and it seems that the air in the countryside can cleanse people's hearts. Originally, Miss Bennet had to leave her hometown to live in London. Now You don’t have to go all the way, your parents must be very happy.”

Jane's face froze. She originally planned to use the Bingley family as a springboard to seduce Darcy, and even followed them to London to enter the social circle.

It was all lost now, and she was about to say something more, but Bingley interrupted her.

"It's really great, Miss Bennet, you are in good health," Bingley said lightly, "In this way we can go back to London without any worries. As good neighbors, my sisters and I will miss you. "

Caroline would have almost laughed if there were no one else around.

"Are you going to leave, Charles, you didn't mention it before," Caroline gloated and pretended to be blank: "If the time is too tight, we will be in a hurry."

Miss Jane Bennet is in good health, Bingley intends to leave, Darcy thinks there is no need to stay any longer, and any fool can see that Caroline is making trouble, so he still tells Elizabeth the news.

Bingley felt tired: "A week, Caroline, up to ten days."

He also turned and left.

So I can't go to London, I will be left in this country place, never, Jane told herself, absolutely impossible.

Darcy didn't follow Bingley to solve her. Miss Bennet was not even considered the most skillful woman they had ever met, because she was too confident and had too many flaws. good thing.

Darcy's eyes lit up, and she saw Anne hovering at the stairs, and she also saw Darcy.

"How is Miss Bennet?" Anne was also concerned about the doctor's diagnosis: "Although she is only staying here temporarily, I think she is beautiful and considerate. I have never had such a person around me."

You don't have such people around you, and neither does Georgiana.

Darcy told everything about her health, and Anne also noticed something wrong, and didn't know what to say. Darcy thought of Elizabeth, and then said slowly: "Annie, you Can you lend me some shoes that Miss Shuang can wear, preferably dancing shoes."

Anne looked at Darcy for a while, and suddenly asked: "Cousin Darcy, is it because of Miss Elizabeth that you make this request?"
