The last thing Lydia remembers is being hit on the head with a sap, and immediately lost consciousness.

"My God! My God!" Mrs. Bennet cried heartbreakingly: "My little baby, even if you are in a hurry to get married, don't faint with joy!"

Who is in a hurry to get married!You are in a hurry to get married, and your whole family is in a hurry to get married!

Anne was speechless to Mrs. Bennet, she quickly winked at Elizabeth, and directed the maid to do things: "Hurry up and take Miss Lydia upstairs to rest, there are smelling salts in the room."

With such an interruption, Darcy temporarily forgot about "59 points".There was chaos in the room. After a brief diagnosis, Dr. Brown announced that Miss Lydia was fine. It may be that too many things happened tonight, which made her mentally overwhelmed and unable to breathe, so she temporarily lost consciousness.

She was only 15 after all.

"You see, Dad," Elizabeth finally waited for the opportunity, because no matter whether it is a real sister or a fake sister, she always has to teach the other party a lesson before she can think of a solution, so she immediately persuaded Mr. Bennet with an excuse : "How cruel Mr. Wickham's attitude is, and Lydia's reaction is so sad, even if Lydia really loves Wickham, I don't approve of my sister's marriage. She is too young to know marriage Not only relying on love, but also the heart to support each other to live on and the common aspirations to pass the time.”

"Insightful, Elizabeth," Mr. Bennet thought of his own life, sad and relieved: "let's see what Lydia says when she wakes up. If she still refuses to propose after all this, then I will Find her a match in the north, and keep the gossip of Meryton out of the way, too."

Elizabeth also agreed with Mr. Bennet's statement that this was all she could do right now, and she was afraid that Lydia would wake up in a while, and according to her original character, she might plunge headfirst into Wickham's arms.

She glanced downstairs, Wickham was smoking a low-quality cigarette, and found that Elizabeth was looking at her, and he deliberately choked out the cigarette butt.It didn't know when it started to rain heavily outside, and the cold air that was unique to rainy days seemed to seep into Elizabeth's bones. She hurriedly turned her head to avoid Wickham's eyes.

Fortunately, Darcy stood behind her and immediately dispelled the haze brought by Wickham.

"You're okay, Miss Elizabeth." He actually regretted that he opposed the marriage just now. After all, he was a complete outsider to the Bennet family, and he didn't even have the right to speak before Collins and Dr. Brown.And if he stopped rashly, others would inevitably wonder if he was interested in Lydia. In fact, he didn't care much about the eyes of others, because few criticisms could really affect his life. He was afraid that Miss Elizabeth would misunderstand.

Elizabeth felt that as long as it was a ball, she always worked hard. Fortunately, after today's incident, the five Bennet sisters all returned to normal, although the real Lydia was no more worry-free than the time-traveled Lydia .

She sighed lowly: "I wish I could feel better, Mr. Darcy, but too much has happened lately."

Well, Darcy thought, he thought the country was very leisurely and boring, but he didn't realize that it was even more noisy and eventful than London.

If he had successfully proposed marriage before, he could let Miss Elizabeth lean on his shoulder to talk at this moment. He had seen the Hurst couple together by chance. more comfortable.After Mrs. Hurst complained for a while, her mood cleared up.

He couldn't bear to keep Elizabeth annoyed, and wondered if he should tell her what he was about to do.

After much deliberation, I still couldn't speak in the end.

At this moment, there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside the door. When everyone was still wondering who the person would come so late, this person pushed open the door, and the cloak on his body was covered with rainwater. Dare to speak up.Because the hood was tightly worn, no one else could tell who he was unless he opened his mouth.

And he just broke in like this, so he shouldn't be just waiting for someone else, otherwise the gatekeeper would be driven home.

On the contrary, Anne screamed and ran downstairs cheerfully: "Cousin Fitzwilliam, why are you here!"

As he spoke, he ignored that the other party hadn't changed his clothes, stepped forward to welcome him warmly, held the other party's hands and asked non-stop, regardless of his own clothes being wet.

Colonel Fitzwilliam didn't seem to be very interested, Annie gradually noticed it, and slowly stood aside, careful not to speak, as if she had returned to the original introverted Anne.

The colonel gave her a curious look.

Standing in the corner, Wickham saw Colonel Fitzwilliam's eyes sweep over him, so he waved his hand slightly, as a greeting to someone he knew.

"Cousin Darcy wrote to me half a month ago, asking me to come over to Derbyshire. I finished my work at the station and came here non-stop," he took off his cloak and threw it to the servant, the red officer The uniform seemed to be dazzling under the lamp. Although the colonel was not as handsome as Wickham, he was still a good young man with a strong face: "What a coincidence, Mr. Wickham is here, and I came just for you."

Annie sensed something, and was too embarrassed to raise her head.

Darcy hurriedly introduced to the guests that this was his cousin, Colonel Fitzwilliam.

Elizabeth was very surprised, because according to her memory, Colonel Fitzwilliam did not follow Darcy to Derbyshire, nor did he even appear in Pemberley as Georgiana's guardian in the book. His only appearance was at Rosings Manor.Elizabeth had wondered if it was possible that he was courting Aunt Catherine, but soon after he had found a suitable heiress Elizabeth dismissed the idea.

Now, however, he appears in Netherfield.

Does this have anything to do with Anne who time-traveled?

When Mrs. Bennet first found out that the visitor was not only an officer, but also Darcy's cousin, she regretted it to the core.Her Lydia should marry such a man, handsome and gallant and noble.When Darcy introduced Colonel Fitzwilliam as his uncle's youngest son, Mrs. Bennet responded with a long "Oh" out of interest, and no longer felt the slightest pity for Lydia.

Earl's youngest son?So what, let alone the title, according to the inheritance law, he won't get a dime.

Colonel Fitzwilliam has always known the shortcomings of his identity, and he has a good attitude, so he is actively looking for a bride who suits him.But this was the first time he was looked down upon in person, and he couldn't help but look at Mrs. Bennet twice, so Elizabeth could only smile apologetically at Colonel Fitzwilliam.

In Annie's eyes, she was so anxious that her heart was pounding.She actually quite likes Elizabeth, because Elizabeth is a really funny and lovely heroine, so it is normal for Colonel Fitzwilliam to have a good impression of her, especially in the part of Rosings Manor in the original book, where the two have a lot of intersections.The reason why Colonel Fitzwilliam did not act was because Elizabeth had no money and because he might be watching Darcy.But for Annie, liking someone is not as calm and objective as literary analysis. The person you like falls in love with someone you don't dislike. This is really the most powerless thing in the world.

And Darcy also saw it, although he was sure that Elizabeth was too poor for Colonel Fitzwilliam, but considering that he had fallen in love, he was not sure that Colonel Fitzwilliam would not give up his principles.

In his opinion, Elizabeth was good enough to make one abandon principles.

"You are here, Fitzwilliam." He stepped forward and hugged his cousin: "We must have a good talk, and Annie must be together!"

Anne probably guessed what was going on. For so long, Darcy hadn't made any follow-up actions. She just thought it was a lot of thunder and little rain. Obviously, she underestimated Darcy. With Darcy's proud personality, he would only secretly Prepare, but never forget your purpose.

"Mr. Bennet, Mrs., and ladies and gentlemen, I have to excuse you, and please get home safely as soon as possible." Darcy said that he had to deal with housework, and politely asked the guests to leave, but there was one exception. : "Mr. Wickham, please stay a little longer, please wait a moment, I have something very important to say to you."

Wickham said that he was not afraid of Darcy making things difficult, so he continued to ask for cigarettes and alcohol and waited slowly.

I don't know why Elizabeth was very upset, but she had to leave with her family.

Moreover, Lydia had just woken up from a coma, and her mood was not stable yet.

She had to go home to take care of her younger sister, and explain her previous experience reasonably, otherwise she was afraid that even if Lydia came back, she would go astray again.After all, Mr. Bennet had let Lydia make her own decision.

In any case, when the parents let go, as long as there is a chance, Lydia cannot be allowed to send herself back to the tiger's mouth.

Mr. Bennet's compromise may also have something to do with Darcy's statement. After all, both are gentlemen, and Darcy's status is more respectable.Elizabeth wanted to know why, but the time and place were not right.

She had to leave.

Behind the door, the three cousins ​​were silent.

Annie was almost so overwhelmed that she had no choice but to struggle: "I'll go see if Mommy is asleep."

"As long as you still care about your aunt, don't bother her anymore, Anne, frankly speaking, I am very disappointed in your actions." Darcy rejected Anne coldly.

"I don't think you need to be so strict, Cousin Darcy, if Anne really likes Wickham..." Colonel Fitzwilliam looked at Anne blushing nervously: "With the two of us here, I'm not afraid of Wickham's mischief in the future."

Anne only felt that Colonel Fitzwilliam's words might as well not have been said. At that time, she just wanted to abuse the scumbag, and she didn't want Colonel Fitzwilliam to misunderstand.

"No, I didn't like him," Annie said incoherently in front of the person she liked. "It was Wickham who came to approach me. I just didn't stop him and wanted to teach him a lesson."

Even if the reason was given, Anne felt that Colonel Fitzwilliam did not show any joy, and Darcy was even more sullen, showing no sign of loosening up.

Only then did Annie realize that she had played too much, and that she hadn't kept it a secret to let her two cousins ​​know.In this day and age, a gentleman regards honor as the most important thing. As a cousin, there is almost no room for persuading stubborn men.

She regretted it unceasingly, the bitch has her own day, why did she have to be troublesome in the first place.

However, just like she did with Lydia, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Darcy just came to inform her decision: "I told Fitzwilliam about this and sent him to Derbyshire so that he could be my assistant, Anne, Wickham has damaged your reputation, today he And has damaged the Bennet family's reputation at my villa, and I will challenge him to a duel."
