[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

For the first time in her life, the door was kicked open by someone, and even the witch herself was stunned.

Darcy reacted very quickly, and grabbed Elizabeth's hand decisively: "Follow me."

Looking at the two people in front of her, the witch showed a bewildered smile. If it weren't for the unbelievable fate of others she saw from the crystal ball just now, the joys and sorrows of the man and woman in front of her would be quite interesting.

The black-haired boy had already rushed over to block the door. There were still a group of strong men outside, and it seemed that he could only use his hands to leave.

Elizabeth thought pessimistically, according to what she knew about Darcy's force value, two or three would not be a problem, and a dozen or so would be more cost-effective to surrender.

The boy cursed, as if he thought Elizabeth had broken the witch's crystal ball.

"Rom, I broke the crystal ball by myself, because I saw people I shouldn't see." The witch waved her hand to indicate that it was okay, "Let them go, and then the people who asked you to come in and divide the money away."

Rom still stared at Darcy viciously, resentful that the man rushed faster than him.

"Thank you." Elizabeth said hastily, while breaking free from Darcy's grip, she grabbed the wooden doll on the table.

The two left the gypsy camp one after the other.

Darcy was obviously not in a good mood. He strode forward alone, his riding boots creaked the crooked gravel road, but he walked quickly for a while and then stopped, leaning against a tree and waiting Elizabeth struggling to catch up.

Seeing Elizabeth approaching, he walked forward without looking back.

After doing this several times, they quickly arrived at the place where the carriage stopped. Darcy tied the horse behind the carriage and followed, threw two shillings to silence the coachman, restrained himself and still helped Elizabeth into the carriage with perfect gentleman etiquette, He also got into the car and sat opposite Elizabeth.

After the carriage moved, Darcy resisted the urge to get angry and said to Elizabeth: "Miss Elizabeth, I suggest you throw away that dirty thing in your hand."

She came here just for this doll, and it was impossible to follow Darcy's advice. Instead of throwing the doll away, Elizabeth found a handkerchief and wrapped the doll carefully.

Darcy wanted to grab the doll and throw it out the window, but he couldn't.He is not someone to Elizabeth, and he cannot treat Elizabeth with the same tough attitude as he did to Georgiana, and Elizabeth's personality is far different from Georgiana.

"Mr. Darcy, I am very grateful for your help." Elizabeth clearly stated her position: "But this is what I want to do with all my heart, and I will definitely do it. I hope you can understand."

Darcy knew that he couldn't persuade her, but he didn't expect her attitude to be so firm. He didn't realize that he was half-hearted: "Even if I can understand, is this what a lady from a squire family should do? If I don't Followed out of fear, did you know that you might be in danger? Gypsies, I am astonished that you have found traces of them, and I will find the sheriff at once and drive them out of Derbyshire."

"Mr. Darcy, your accusation is groundless." Elizabeth said seriously: "You have defended me, but you are far from protecting me, because the gypsies have no intention of doing bad things to me, as long as you give them money, why should they Make trouble. But you want to deprive them of their peaceful life, how will this make me feel guilty in the days to come?"

If it weren't for him, this group of gypsies could still live in the woods for five years.

Elizabeth still remembered Mrs. Bennet writing a letter to herself, yelling in the letter, as if cleaning out a nest of cockroaches at home.Was Elizabeth afraid of gypsies?Of course she was afraid, but Aunt Catherine had a little secret that she could not tell outsiders. She herself liked to go to a gypsy woman in a London tavern to tell her fortune. There was a hollow book on the bookcase at home with a set of Tarot cards hidden.

Aunt Catherine said they were closed and unproductive, but not very bad people.

That's why Elizabeth is willing to take a risk for Jane.

What the old man said really made sense. The witch did not do anything unfavorable to her except for the gods and gods. She also said that she had seen the fate of someone she shouldn't have seen. Even Elizabeth wondered if she had been seen through by the witch. Darcy interrupted.

No one enjoys being interrupted while gossiping.

Besides, Darcy had to report to the sheriff.

Rather than saying that Darcy is afraid of Elizabeth being in danger, he is most afraid of Elizabeth being unhappy.

So he was silent for a moment.

And he guessed that Elizabeth was willing to take the risk and would rather do such a dangerous thing as a gentleman, probably not for herself, but for her loved family.

Thinking of this, Darcy's heart softened.

His tone softened: "Miss Elizabeth, can you tell me the reason? Maybe it's justified, and I don't have to go to the sheriff's house to drink tea. To be honest, the tea at his house is not good."

Seeing that Darcy can still tease the bald magistrate, it means that he has already compromised the original tension, and Elizabeth's defenses have finally been withdrawn. She thought about it and said half the truth: "It's for the sake of curing the disease." .”

Seeing her answer like this, Darcy immediately became concerned. Both of them are the kind of people who put their family on top of their hearts, so Darcy can quite understand Elizabeth's mood at the moment.Moreover, someone in Elizabeth's family was sick, but he broke the appointment the day before and put aside the marriage proposal, which was simply adding salt to Elizabeth's bleeding heart.

He had no doubt that with Elizabeth's cleverness, she must have guessed what he wanted to do at that time.

But it was me, who finally missed the appointment.

"Is there anything I can do to help? Miss Elizabeth, please just order." He earnestly asked: "As compensation for my missed appointment yesterday."

Elizabeth's face turned red all of a sudden. She went out very early, and the sun was only hanging high at this time, releasing its scorching power.The sun shone through the windows of the carriage and shone on Elizabeth's reddish face, reminding Darcy of the apples grown by the tenants in the area of ​​Pemberley Manor. They were sweet and juicy, and they were his favorites on weekdays.

Miss Elizabeth is obviously much sweeter than an apple.

He felt itchy in his knees, couldn't help but wanted to kneel down and propose, but unfortunately the time and place were not favorable at this moment.The lady herself was troubled, and the carriage was so cramped that Darcy could hardly stretch his legs, let alone kneel.

At this time, the wheels of the carriage seemed to hit a stone, and the vehicle body shook.The knees of the two people sitting opposite each other accidentally touched each other, and then quickly separated.

"Mr. Darcy, as a party to several balls, you may not believe it. I went to the gypsy this time because of my sister Jane," Elizabeth forced her charming thoughts back, but when she mentioned Jane , Darcy's complexion sank, but she still wanted to do her best for her sister: "In the past two months, her personality has changed drastically and she has become very strange... I don't know how to describe it. As a younger sister who gets along day and night, I just want to say that since you and the Bingley family came here, you didn’t know the real Jane, so I thought of going to the witch.”

"Strange," Darcy said haughtily, "Miss Elizabeth, I don't think it's strange. I only see humanity."

Elizabeth realized that Darcy's prejudice against Jane was deeply rooted. At this time, even if the time-traveling woman was imprisoned in the Tower of London, it would not help. She was ready for all battles: "Mr. Darcy, please speak clearly."

"With all due respect," Darcy thought he was helping Elizabeth see the truth: "Your sister, Miss Jane Bennet, your sister, Miss Lydia Bennet, and your good friend Charlotte Lew Miss Cass, perhaps without any stake in my relationship with you has always been close. But I am not bragging, Bingley and I have come to break the illusion of peace. Although the Bennet family The Lucas family is a squire family with no worries about food and clothing, but who doesn’t yearn for a manor and a higher annual income? Competition for this is the most normal human nature.”

"Also with all due respect, the competition you think is just a false appearance of your high self-esteem," Elizabeth immediately shot back. She knew the ways of those time-traveling women, all looked down on themselves, but all imitated themselves, so apart from ridiculous imitations No one has pursued Darcy straightforwardly, so she dared to refute: "In my opinion, except for the proper etiquette and social interaction at the ball, we never dare to have any competition for the 'noble' gentlemen. "

Darcy wanted to stand up, but he would bump his head when he stood up. He took a deep breath and argued, "Maybe it's the upbringing of ladies that prevent them from taking the initiative obviously. I know how to do it. Miss Elizabeth, in my experience..."

"Experience?" Elizabeth said with a smile: "Mr. Darcy, you hardly dance with any other girls. Or do you just stop dancing after you came to Derbyshire because you don't like the girls here? Otherwise, where is the experience?" .”

How dare Darcy say that he has danced enough in London and seen enough girls.But that's because these girls are basically so superior that they can't refuse, and the environment of the dance there made Darcy more adaptable.

But if he dared to say that, he wouldn't expect to resolve the misunderstanding of yesterday's missed appointment, let alone think about the marriage proposal.

He felt that Elizabeth was unfair to him: "Miss Elizabeth, but I am happy to dance with you, except for my old acquaintance, I am only willing to dance with you." He was so angry that he said: "But you are also happy to dance with Mr. Wickham. "

Elizabeth looked at him in surprise: "Mr. Darcy, you have taken the subject too far."

Darcy was at a loss for words, and he wanted to say something more. Meryton had already arrived, and when he was with Elizabeth, time always passed very fast, and Darcy was unhappy when it was almost here.

But Elizabeth didn't give him a chance. After the carriage stopped, she politely refused Darcy's help and jumped out of the carriage: "Please get out of the carriage after a while, Mr. Darcy, lest people see me alone with you. It will make people try to 'compete' with me." Elizabeth was not afraid of Darcy's livid face, she showed her attitude: "And you must know that Jane is my dearest sister, she deserves any effort I can make for her, and I am very happy myself."

Then she turned and left.

Darcy didn't catch up. He listened to Elizabeth's words and sat in the carriage for 5 minutes before leaving.
