Charlotte had come to see her fiancé, but Aunt Catherine's roar scared all the birds for a mile around.
"What's the matter?" asked Charlotte modestly, "is the Duchess always very well-mannered?"
What's more unusual is that although she is Dr. Brown's fiancée, if there are female guests, Miss Anne or Caroline should come forward to receive them, and Elizabeth heard that she is also in Netherfield at the moment, but there is no sign of her.
And the Duchess lost her temper so much.
It's not normal, it's all very abnormal!
Charlotte gives the impression of being quiet, but who doesn't love gossip?
Dr. Brown has learned a little about his fiancée's smooth temperament these days, and he thinks it's okay to tell her about it. If she doesn't have a handle on her mouth, then he should only see her weakness in this aspect, and never tell her again. Just be serious.
Only then did he vaguely hint: "Colonel Fitzwilliam is injured, the wound caused by the firearm, on his shoulder."
Charlotte was about to exclaim, but her subconscious movements were faster than her mouth, and she covered her mouth with her hands.
Her mind was spinning quickly. In such a rural place, the probability of being robbed by thieves is almost zero, and the only possibility of being injured by a firearm is that the gentlemen go to a duel for unnecessary persistence.Colonel Fitzwilliam came to visit unexpectedly, and naturally only Mr. Darcy and the mother and daughter of the Duchess could be called in. Since a duel was involved, they must have come for Mr. Darcy.
No one here offends Mr. Darcy?Moreover, Charlotte was deeply impressed by Mr. Darcy's arrogance and manner. If such a person wanted to challenge others to a duel for his own honor, Charlotte felt it was impossible. In her impression, Mr. Darcy would only Retaliate by ignoring the other party, which is enough to make the other party feel ashamed.The only relatives worthy of Mr. Darcy's fighting are his own sister, Miss Georgiana Darcy, and the Duchess, mother and daughter.
Miss Georgiana did not come to Derbyshire, so it can be ruled out.
The Duchess was so angry that she obviously didn't know it before.
"For Miss Anne, then?" asked Charlotte boldly.
Doctor Brown raised his eyebrows. He knew that Charlotte was smart, but he didn't know that she would be so smart. Apart from hitting it off at first sight, this fiancée shocked him again.Maybe marriage only needs security, but love needs surprises. Dr. Brown thinks that he may fall in love with his fiancée.
He himself didn't know that his blue eyes were shining brightly: "It's indeed for Miss Annie."
So she told the story about Miss Anne playing tricks on Wickham and how Wickham lured him to elope but was exposed to debts. Charlotte listened with gusto. The fun of gossip was more attractive than the strange look in Dr. Brown's eyes. Charlotte She didn't quite understand what the other party was excited about, only when men actually liked to gossip, she sighed in admiration after Dr. Brown came to an end: "I didn't expect the lady who is always gentle and quiet to have such a side, but I don't know why, I just want to do it for her." Shout out!"
"Wickham deserved what he deserved," Dr. Brown said cautiously, "and Miss Anne was too reckless. This matter is not humane, but it happened to be known by Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy doesn't have many close family members. De Bauer The Duchess of Earl and Earl of Fitzwilliam are his closest maternal relatives. He couldn't tolerate others seducing his cousin, so he proposed a duel to Mr. Wickham. I didn't expect Mr. Wickham to be so despicable to the end, even carrying a firearm privately , intending to assassinate Mr. Darcy by surprise, thanks to Colonel Fitzwilliam coming forward, but his own condition is not the best."
Charlotte is also worried about the patient's condition, but she has a slightly different opinion: "Although Mr. Darcy disagrees with Miss Anne's approach, in my opinion, this cousin is as jealous as my cousin! "
"Isn't it?" Dr. Brown admires Charlotte who has her own views very much. He doesn't mind teaching her more things in the days to come. She will definitely live up to her expectations and become his good wife: "You will When you marry in London, you will definitely go in and out of various rich and powerful homes because of my relationship, and you will see and think about things, and we will discuss it together after closing the door."
Charlotte is eager to try the challenge. She doesn't have a beautiful face and a voluptuous figure, but she is well versed in the world, and her ordinary face just gives her such convenience.Her once inferior appearance will one day become her sharp weapon.
Dr. Brown inadvertently gave her confidence that she never thought of.
He liked her courage to face the challenge. She saw that his eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, but she didn't quite understand why.
"Ahem," Dr. Brown realized that he was losing his composure, cleared his throat pretending to be mysterious, and asked Charlotte in a low voice, "May I tell you another secret?"
Charlotte leaned her head forward with interest.
"The bullet avoided the artery. The colonel's injury is actually not a problem. As long as his bleeding condition is stable, I can start to prepare for surgery to remove the bullet." Dr. Brown was a little puzzled: "But before he fell into a coma, he asked me to tell him about his injury. Seriously..."
Charlotte also didn't understand what Colonel Fitzwilliam was going to do: "He will only worry his relatives."
"Maybe it's just to worry your relatives?" Dr. Brown wasn't very troubled, because even if the injury wasn't serious, the infection would have killed him, so he deliberately exaggerated the Colonel's situation without any psychological burden: "Colonel Fitzwilliam is a He is a person who has his own ideas, but he is different from Mr. Darcy who is very principled. If I do what he wants, it is not a violation of medical ethics. In the future, you will meet more during my medical practice in London. Something like this. So my dear fiancee, Miss Charlotte, would you like to take a walk in the garden downstairs and talk along the way?"
Charlotte readily agreed.
Elizabeth was on the balcony on the second floor, and vaguely saw two figures sticking together in the flowers downstairs, as if they were kissing.She was a little embarrassed because she broke the intimacy of someone she knew, but when she returned to the living room, there was the Duchess' endless scolding. Darcy was distressed.
Darcy took everything on himself, saying only that he and Wickham had had a grudge against Wickham in college and that he had challenged him after their reunion.
In any case he did not tell what Annie did.
Elizabeth thought, compared to fainting because her well-bred daughter seduced a man and ruined her reputation, the news of her nephew being injured in a rebellious duel would only increase Aunt Catherine's blood pressure, so Darcy should just raise her aunt's blood pressure. Haven't fainted yet.
Although Annie felt guilty, she knew that confessing honestly would only make the situation worse, so she could only insist on Darcy's statement, and the two talked about the same thing.
But after this incident, she also began to reflect on herself. Although her starting point was not bad, maybe she made the same mistake as those time-traveling girls whom she despises. Century's original characters are full of malice from God's perspective.Her overconfident teasing of Wickham now appeared to be nothing but a ridiculously headstrong trick.
She just couldn't express how much she regretted it.
Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Aunt Catherine had to let Anne go back to her room first, and was going to break them one by one. She decided to concentrate on dealing with Darcy.
Anne had to pray that Darcy could withstand the tremendous pressure.
She didn't dare to stay longer and left obediently.
"Fitzwilliam," Aunt Catherine called Darcy's name: "I watched you grow up, and I dare not say that I know you as well as my sister—your mother, but I know you well enough. You never He will fight others for his own self-interest, and that person is Wickham. His behavior is a bit villainous, but it is not enough to offend you. To be honest, he is not interested in men except for women. The reason why you Doing this will only be for others, those family members you are willing to sacrifice your life for, such as Georgiana, such as me and Anne, when Colonel Fitzwilliam rushed to Derbyshire, I should have guessed that I am really old Confused."
Darcy felt that his palms were covered with cold sweat. He and Anne might both feel that they had concealed it well, but they couldn't hide from their parents what their children had done.Darcy felt guilty for a long time, and felt warm again. How long has it been since he felt this kind of teaching from his elders?
Aunt Catherine became more willful as she got older, but the old man has the wisdom of the old man.
"Don't blame me for wishful thinking," Aunt Catherine said with a long sigh: "That's why I always wanted to marry Anne to you, Fitzwilliam, your nature is very pure, and you always put your family and love before yourself. Well done, and as a widow with only one child, I would marry Anne to you, knowing that she would be secure and prosperous as Mrs. Darcy."
"Aunt," Darcy said, not very willing to talk about this topic. He was unwilling before, and even more unwilling now: "I already have..."
Aunt Catherine suddenly told him something he didn't know before: "Colonel Fitzwilliam comes to Rosings Manor every year to visit me with you, but he has hinted twice since the year before last that he can take care of Anne for the rest of his life."
Darcy wanted to say that this was a good pair, but Aunt Catherine was definitely not willing, otherwise this matter would not have disappeared until now. Aunt and cousin even kept it a secret from him, and Anne didn't even know about it.
"Are you going to say that I hate the poor and love the rich? No, no, Darcy, you despise me too much. Anne can't even enjoy prosperity and stability when she's with him." Aunt Catherine sighed and shook her head: "He doesn't like you. Same, Fitzwilliam dear, a bride with a rich dowry is naturally what he wants. But this is just a capital for him to achieve his ultimate goal. Colonel Fitzwilliam has his own political ambitions. Compared to a bride with only money , the De Bauer family will help him achieve more and faster."
Darcy was silent. Colonel Fitzwilliam had shown such tactful and intelligent traits early on, but because he didn't use it on his family, Darcy chose to ignore it, but Aunt Catherine must bring it to the table, and Darcy had no choice but to Reluctantly stated his position: "It depends on Anne's own attitude."
Aunt Catherine disagreed: "It has nothing to do with her attitude. If Colonel Fitzwilliam can successfully tide over the difficulties this time, Anne must marry him. He was injured because of Anne. Darcy, you are because of the surname De Bourgh Don't I, an old lady, have no sense of honor?"
"What's the matter?" asked Charlotte modestly, "is the Duchess always very well-mannered?"
What's more unusual is that although she is Dr. Brown's fiancée, if there are female guests, Miss Anne or Caroline should come forward to receive them, and Elizabeth heard that she is also in Netherfield at the moment, but there is no sign of her.
