Daisy didn't think so, since the incident had already happened, and she couldn't escape, it was much faster to be a pony on all fours than to walk on two legs. Who is noble?

Not to mention the burden of humiliation, she would also use essential oils and aroma tricks to please the regent for fun. As she got older, she catered to the regent's preference for older women, and became more and more beautiful in public social occasions in London. Not only that, she There is also a daughter.Compared with the real princess, her daughter can see this father more often.

This created the future Mrs. Grenoye, and even Mrs. Fitzherbert, the real hostess, began to avoid her.

After she left arrogantly, the Bennet family still hadn't come to their senses. The aristocratic circle in London was too far away from them. Even Mrs. Grenouille's swagger did not create any real sense of threat. .Elizabeth thought, this is probably the advantage of being a countryman, because she has never seen it before, so she can't feel it, but she has already seen it differently, and she can't help feeling deeply worried.

According to the fortune history of Anne and her gossiping Madame Grenoye, it is obvious that she is already the most contemptible but also the most beautiful woman in the entire London social circle, but she still cannot forget her original obsession. How terrible.

Mrs. Bennet kept scolding Mr. Bennet: "Wow! This woman came back to show off to me, but it's not because your father provoked her at the beginning?!" She was angry and sad: "The regent's mistress ? We can’t even afford to mess with the dog raised by the regent! Your father slipped away without a word, what should we do with a house full of women?!”

Although Jane was also confused, she comforted her mother in a soft voice: "Even the regent himself can't act recklessly. Let alone the regent has not yet ascended the throne, even if he sits in that position in the future, there will still be parliamentary constraints! We The family has never made a mistake, and Madame Grenoye can't catch it, so there's nothing she can do about it."

This reassured Mrs. Bennet greatly.

Jane's words are not wrong, but Elizabeth and Anne dare not be so optimistic.

"I should go home." Anne made up her mind to tell the duchess about this woman. The old lady has been telling her nothing about this woman for so many years, so maybe she will find a way: "I will come to see you when I have news, Elizabeth. .”

Elizabeth nodded, and that was all she could do at the moment.

Her father left at an untimely time. If she had become Darcy's fiancée, she would have a much more authoritative position to speak out, but she couldn't bear to blame Mr. Bennet, so she had to pray that Uncle Gardiner would find him quickly. return.

After Anne returned to Netherfield Manor, she almost jumped out of the carriage in a hurry and trotted all the way back to find the Duchess. The Duchess frowned at her panting and unpretentious appearance, and Anne couldn't care less: "Mom , mother, that Mrs. Grenouille has gone to the Bennet's house!"

Although the Duchess wondered how a country family could be involved with Mrs. Grenouille, she indicated to Anne that there was a letter in hand: "I have received a letter from Mrs. Grenouille. She will come to visit Netherfield Manor tomorrow."

"What? This woman is coming?" Annie turned around in a daze, "Then we politely decline her and say that my cousins ​​are going hunting and our whole family is going out."

"Anne?" The Duchess looked at her disapprovingly: "No matter what ideas she has, we shouldn't avoid her. How about your upbringing? Don't tell me that when you become a Duchess, you will only think of things when you encounter things." Run away?"

Anne fell silent, and she couldn't tell the Duchess that she felt that Madame Grenouille was not normal.There are still several time-travelers who have not appeared so far, but she is not sure that she is a time-traveler, because if she is, it would be too scary. After all, she almost got engaged to Mr. Bennet 20 years ago. People have been obsessed with the game for 20 years, and I am afraid that no one can stop it when they finally do it.

Anne ushered in the second day in anxiety, and Mrs. Grenouille came to visit as scheduled.

"Oh, Mademoiselle de Bourgh, we just met yesterday," and then she greeted people one by one, so many years of court life made her appearance impeccable, you would never know that her most impeccable is to be a horse , she introduced her daughter to everyone: "This is my daughter Maria Grenoye."

The Duchess didn't even raise her eyelids. The little girl was named because her biological mother wanted to please Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert. As a mother, she couldn't imagine that someone would do such a thing. .

Under the intentional cold treatment of the Duchess, there were no greetings, but only silence.

Anne felt embarrassed, Maria was younger and twisted uncomfortably in the seat, while the Duchess and Madame Grenouille were calm and relaxed, and Anne felt as if the two masters would fly out of the seat and fly into the air with just one order Fight for five hundred rounds.

She was dreaming wildly when Darcy, Colonel Fitzwilliam, and Bingley came in to see their guests.

Mrs. Grenouille looked at Colonel Fitzwilliam and Bingley with great interest. This was the first time she had really seen the main male characters in the book, but Colonel Fitzwilliam, a typical tough guy in uniform, was more agreeable. The aesthetics of people in the future.Bingley is handsome and personable, and can be considered above average.

As if to save the most precious thing for last, Mrs. Grenouille stopped her eyes on Darcy. It has been 27 years. The last time she heard about him was that his mother was pregnant and played the piano.After this extremely long wait, he finally became an outstanding man who could be recruited by aspiring ladies.

In fact, Darcy's facial features are more similar to Colonel Fitzwilliam's. After all, the two are cousins. They are tough rather than handsome, but their gestures are outstanding and temperamental, which makes people unable to take their eyes off them.In terms of handsome features, he is not as outstanding as Bingley.

But Mrs. Grenouille's pupils are beautiful, beautifying Darcy, the male god in her heart, into the most handsome man in Britain. She is now in her 40s, looking at Darcy in her 20s with excitement and blushing, Her eyes were full of admiration and longing. She was not embarrassed by herself, but rather embarrassed Darcy.

Originally, he planned to go up to say hello, but now he changed his mind and stood aside.

The Duchess cursed "a lowly woman" in her heart, her expression became more serious, and Anne confirmed that Madame Grenouille's target was her cousin Darcy again, she was almost out of anger, why did she want to attack Darcy, Are so many people attacking Darcy not afraid of Darcy's kidney deficiency?What's more, for some unknown reason, Mrs. Grenouille came 20 years earlier, and now she is still dreaming about Darcy?Darcy is enough to be her son, okay? Except for the regent, no one else really has such a strong taste!

Grenouille was also aware of her gaffe, but she had been waiting for more than 20 years, and she couldn't wait even a day. Besides, she had already learned not to care about the eyes of others. If she could still feel polite and shameful in her heart, she would not have survived 20 years ago. down.And with the backing of the Prince Regent, the gazes of others will not work at all.

"Oh, Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, I went to Pemberley Manor more than 20 years ago, and you were still in your mother's womb at that time," she giggled at herself, then sighed : "It's really a karmic fate. I didn't expect that I would meet you here again by accident. This is my daughter Maria Grenoye. She grew up in the Dome Palace since she was a child, and she has never been out of the palace to see the world. You are her. first gentleman."

Mrs. Grenouille has already demonstrated how to put gold on an illegitimate daughter.

Darcy hated the desire on this woman's face, but the timid girl was innocent, and Darcy reluctantly said hello to her.Then, in Mrs. Grenouille's mouth, Colonel Fitzwilliam and Bingley, who had been obliterated as gentlemen, said nothing in embarrassment.

At this point, her purpose is very clear.

Mrs. Grenouille obviously wanted to marry her daughter to Darcy. Even though her daughter was only an illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent, as long as the Prince Regent ascended the throne, it would not be difficult for her to obtain a title and fief, and she could even marry into Darcy through a decent marriage. Go to the noble family.But her mother chose Darcy. Even though Darcy might not be a good marriage partner, Madame Grenouille had no difficulty in marrying her daughter to him.If Darcy is ignorant, there will be a regent behind their mother and daughter.

Obviously there is no room for rejection.

After Mrs. Grenouille achieved her goal, Anne just waited for Darcy to take the initiative to submit. Anne really couldn't bear the hero and heroine to be separated by the time-traveling woman, and hated Mr. Bennet if he left a few minutes late and the engagement could be made without embarrassing everyone. At this point, Anne believed that the Duchess would have preferred Elizabeth to Grenouille's daughter.

Everyone's thoughts, Darcy knew that he also had to face the reality, that is, the marriage between him and Miss Elizabeth was likely to blow up.

He knew that he was in love with this intelligent and beautiful lady, and he even struggled a few times to propose marriage, but it was not until he was about to lose her that he realized how heartbroken he was, and his love was far stronger than he thought. profound.

But he is going to lose.

"Pack up your things, we'll go back to London tomorrow." His reason told him how to choose, but he was unwilling to succumb to fate without any struggle.

Only then did Anne realize the seriousness of the matter, because Darcy seemed to have accepted his fate.

She refuses to accept the fate of the hero and heroine. This is Britain in the nineteenth century, so it's possible that "gifting marriages" is still popular, she doesn't believe it.

"Mom, mom," Anne knew that the Duchess had some political power, and even George III was not dead yet: "Let's go beg that person, maybe he can stop this matter, after all, the regent has not yet ascended the throne Well, if he can stop it, Cousin Darcy won't have to..."

"Anne!" The Duchess interrupted her daughter severely: "Anne, you have disappointed me so much! I know you care about Darcy, but you are the future Duchess. The title and power of the De Bourgh family are all Thanks to His Majesty George III. How can you trouble His Majesty who is seriously ill because of your own self-interest?! If we give up the position of thinking only for Your Majesty and want to satisfy our own desires, then for Your Majesty, De The value of the Baoer family is gone! I hope you will carefully consider the bargaining chips in your hands. Even if you want to help Darcy, you can’t do it in this way. If you are always so impulsive and short-sighted, then there is nothing you can do Take up the duchess' burden."
