[Pride and Prejudice] My husband loves me again

Annie saw Elizabeth's face turn red and turn pale. After all, it was related to the scandal in the hostess's family. It was not good for her to show too much interest, otherwise it would be too cruel to Elizabeth.

All she could do was to gossip about Mrs. Grenoye in detail to Elizabeth: "My mother never greeted this woman at the ball or in the salon. Fortunately, my network was well managed before my father died, otherwise Relying on the power of the regent, this woman does not know how to embarrass my mother and me. You know how arrogant the former mistress, the Countess of Jersey, was when she was the most favored, even the wife of the regent It was all chosen by her, and she chose the ugliest princess, which caused the couple to be at odds from the very beginning, so she pretended to be the mistress majestically. This Madame Grenoye not only pretended to be the mistress, but also gave birth to the prince regent. She gave birth to a daughter, just such an illegitimate daughter who is not on the stage, and her life is more beautiful than that of the real princess."

So if she is a winner in life, why would she have a relationship with her squire father, Elizabeth grimaced.

"She is very powerful. It is said that she became the Prince Regent's mistress when she was under 20 years old. I have a lot of love," Annie also finds it difficult to understand, but there are many trendy people in this era in Europe. There used to be a majestic Mrs. Pompadour in France: "It is said that she was born in a merchant family, and her boudoir name was Daisy. Sy Lockweed, the family sells lard candles, my God, it's not the top beeswax, I don't know how she climbed up to the Regent."

While the two girls were talking, a glittering and extremely luxurious carriage stopped at the foot of the hillside, and the driver was inquiring about the route with passers-by.

"Anne, isn't this your family's carriage?" Elizabeth looked at it and thought it was twice as luxurious as the Duchess's.

"No, my mother's taste is not so bad." Annie looked at the style of piling up all the good things on the carriage, and said with a bit of disdain: "I don't know which upstart came to the country again turn around."

At this time, the people sitting in the carriage stretched out their heads to breathe. Elizabeth didn't see clearly, but there were two women vaguely.

Annie pulled her suddenly, and pulled Elizabeth behind a tree. She patted her chest in shock, and told Elizabeth in a low voice with disbelief: "The one in the carriage is Madame Grenouille!"

"Why did she come here?!" Elizabeth simply didn't know why the direction of the story became more and more strange.

Anne had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that she is going to your house? The letter she sent before may mean that she is coming to visit. Your father obviously doesn't want to see her, so he ran away."

In this way, it really fit Mr. Bennet's irresponsible personality. Elizabeth immediately dragged Anne and rushed back to Longbourne to find her mother.

Fortunately, they were not far away, and Madame Grenouille's carriage was still wandering around, so they went home first.

Elizabeth was delighted to find that Mrs. Bennet had woken up and dressed, and was doing needlework with her daughters at the moment. She quickly adapted to the reality. After all, before Uncle Gardiner replied or came to visit, they had nothing to do. Can't do it.

Now that Mr. Bennet is gone, the breakthrough can only be made by Mrs. Bennet.

Anyway, people are coming to the door. Instead of Mrs. Grenouille embarrassing her mother, it is better for Elizabeth to do a good job of psychological construction for the whole family.

"Mom, do you really not know the name Grenouille?" Elizabeth asked carefully.

But no matter how careful she is, this topic will cause Mrs. Bennet to fly into a rage, and her face will twitch immediately: "I don't know, if I know who she is, I will let the whole Meryton know about her." Notoriety."

What's the use of the whole of Meryton knowing, Elizabeth knew that what her mother said was angry, after all, even if the whole of Britain knew about Mrs. Grenouille's notoriety, they couldn't do anything to her.

She decided to try again: "What about the name Daisy Rockwidder? Do you remember it?"

This time Mrs. Bennet reacted greatly. She threw aside her embroidery work and stood up. Her nose fluttered and her eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost: "Liz, what do you mean by asking? Is it Greg?" Madame Renoye and Daisy Rockweed are the same person?!"

bingo!

But so what if she guessed it right, Mrs. Bennet was obviously very angry, her face turned white and red, and she kept cursing.

"Mom, stop!" Elizabeth hurriedly grabbed her to prevent her from losing her mind and walking around aimlessly: "No matter how surprised you are, Mrs. Grenoye will be at our door soon. Already!"

"How dare she!" screamed Mrs. Bennet.

"Of course she has a face, she has a big face," Anne muttered, "She is the mistress of the Prince Regent."

The room was dead quiet.

Lydia suddenly pointed at Anne and said, "Even if she is the Prince Regent's mistress, Anne is a real princess and a future duchess!"

This makes sense.

But Elizabeth was very worried, whether Anne's simple and kind character would be able to fight against the cunning and cunning mistress of the Regent.Although she has never met Mrs. Grenouille, but she has been able to stand for 20 years, not only becoming more and more favored, but also gave birth to a favored daughter. This person is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As the only identity in the room, Annie had no choice but to stand up and prepare for the fight: "It's okay, my mother doesn't like her either."

Everyone was relieved to hear that the Duchess did not like Madame Grenouille.The de Bourgh family was quite appreciated by the old King George III. Even now, the mother and daughter are often called into the palace.Although the regent is on the throne, the old king is not dead yet, and the duchess's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse.

At this time, the servant woman ran in with a panicked face: "There is a big, big, shining golden carriage outside."

It was Mrs. Grenouille who arrived. Mrs. Bennet was cursing like a headless chicken just now, but now she calmed down surprisingly. She didn't want to dress up deliberately before meeting people, so she seemed to value the other party too much.She just looked in the mirror and brushed off the lace nightcap on her head that married women wore at home.

Jane was very worried: "Mom, is it really all right?"

"It's okay, Jane," Mrs. Bennet said with a determined face, "I didn't lose 20 years ago, otherwise there would be no birth of your five sisters."

Madame Grenouille herself is very average, with brown hair covering a long horse face. The upper and lower lips are slightly turned out, but the lips are thick and sexy. Plump, it doesn't look like a serious person, but in the eyes of a man, it will be very attractive.She brought her daughter with her. This illegitimate daughter with noble blood is probably the real daughter of the Prince Regent. At least the obesity genes are the same. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, her waist should be half the size of Elizabeth. It's so wide, but fortunately it's young, so it doesn't look so exaggerated.

The regent doesn't care about his only legitimate princess, let alone his illegitimate daughter. Although she is well-clothed and well-fed, as soon as this young girl walks into Bennet's house and looks around, she knows that her upbringing is not very good. Sample.But fortunately, there is no malice in her eyes, which is completely different from her mother.

That kind of malice Elizabeth is very familiar with, and it is aimed at her as the heroine.

Mrs. Grenouille came here specially to see the joke about the squire Bennet's family. She had many reasons for choosing such a time.The Bennet family is not important enough for her to care about, and what she did back then was just a spur of the moment disappointment; second, according to the development of the original book, Mr. Darcy should have gone to the country by now, although her plan It has been delayed for 20 years, but Mrs. Grenouille felt more confident by using the familiar plot of the original novel to make her own plan. At least she didn’t have to repeat the joke she made at Pemberley Manor 20 years ago; thirdly, and most importantly, she The most precious treasure in this world, her daughter, has now reached the age of marriage, so the choice of son-in-law must be Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

At this time, Mr. Darcy in Netherfield Gardens shivered inexplicably.

"I'm not here as a guest. I don't plan to sit down and I don't need to drink tea." Mrs. Grenoye took off her gloves and waved lightly as she looked at the small house of the family, as if she disliked the dust in the air: "I just came Look at old acquaintances."

Mrs. Bennet confronted her sharply: "What a coincidence, Mr. Bennet is not here. You have found the wrong person. As for drinking tea, I don't think it is necessary. I don't even plan to serve people with tea stems."

As a winner in life, Mrs. Grenoye does not intend to argue with Mrs. Bennet. After all, even her own husband looks down on her. Others just need to read the ready-made jokes: "He is not here? No, I wrote it in advance The letter came from the fact that he didn’t dare to see me at all. Hehe, a man like him is conceited and smart. Today he loves your Bingxue smartness, and tomorrow he loves others’ beautiful looks. He is not qualitative and unreliable, so That's why I let you face me alone. Yes, does he regret it now, regretting that he only looked at his face back then."

Mrs. Bennet's face turned pale, she was not afraid to face this shameless woman, but the most terrifying thing in the world is that the husband who should be the backing flees and leaves others with the opportunity to attack you.

Anne quickly coughed lightly, and Madame Grenouille saw the Duchess de Bour. ​​This family is loyal to King George III, and the regent is desperately trying to win over political capital to further depose the old king. He can't wait. The old king abdicated or returned to the west, impatient to grasp all the power in his hands, and the two parties were naturally opposed.

She may have to leave early, but today her goals have been achieved.

Mrs. Grenouille saw Elizabeth and Anne exchange eyes, and Anne mustered up the courage to imitate Darcy's arrogant tone: "Mrs. Grenouille, you haven't said hello to me yet."

"Good day, Miss de Bauer," Grenouille said flexibly, "I didn't expect you to become friends with the daughter of this family. It's really rare to make friends like this. It makes people forget that you are the lady of the Duke's family. Think of you as the daughter of a gentry family in this rural area."

Her words were satirizing Anne, but her eyes were staring at Elizabeth.

After 20 years, she finally met the heroine.

She wants to trample her whole family under her feet.
