Because of the deep relationship between the two sisters, Elizabeth was even more disappointed with Jane's actions.

For whatever reason, how could she just follow the Duke of Devonshire?Even if she could marry the duke, Elizabeth would not be happy because of it, not to mention that it was impossible.

Moreover, the Duke of Devonshire obviously did not have the self-consciousness of Guatian Lixia, and even greeted Elizabeth as if nothing had happened.

If it wasn't for the fact that the other party couldn't afford to offend, Elizabeth would have liked to paste the bare-bottomed angel panna cotta on the Duke's handsome face.

Even Darcy noticed that the beautiful black eyes of his favorite Miss Elizabeth were burning with rage.

He sincerely hoped that he would not have the opportunity to irritate Elizabeth in the future.

After Jane returned from the garden maze, he also looked at the eldest lady of the Bennet family. She looked calm and her hair and clothes were in perfect order. Obviously the news from the servant was true. There seemed to be no relationship between her and the Duke of Devonshire. ambiguous.But she is a person who is used to hiding her true feelings. Although her character is quite different from before, at least Darcy is relieved that she no longer has that inappropriate interest in herself, but if it is because she diverted her interest What about the duke?Although Darcy is conceited, he is well aware that there is a huge gap between himself and the Duke of Devonshire.

But he dared not say so of Miss Jane Bennet, lest Elizabeth should be hurt, who had done so much for her sister.

Besides, Miss Bennet's innocence aside, the Duke of Devonshire behaved as usual, which was all the more puzzling.If Elizabeth could have a good talk with Miss Bennet after returning home, she might know what the Duke wanted to do.

In contrast, Bingley's reaction troubled Darcy even more.

He could sense that Miss Jane Bennet was different from before, and Bingley, who was more delicate and sensual, must also be able to sense it, and after coming to London, the ladies' attires were more gorgeous and delicate than when they were in the country. Gray is apparently in love again!

God!Falling in love with the same woman twice!

Darcy wanted to reprimand Bingley, but he felt that he had no position, because when he asked himself what he would do if the object was Miss Elizabeth, the answer was that he was not at all wiser than Bingley.

That's right, Mr. Darcy, this is the second time you have fallen in love with the same woman, and you are still under the siege of a group of time-traveling women.

Your performance is gratifying, enough to get 99 points, and one point is deducted to prevent you from being proud.

Therefore, after discovering that Jane and the Duke of Devonshire had returned to the hall together, Bingley immediately sat aside dejectedly. He wanted to get drunk, but he didn't even have the courage to get drunk.He didn't mean to regret it. When a woman was wandering between Darcy and himself, he chose to put friendship first, which was the least regrettable thing in the world.But he also has the heart to accept the short-term loss of a young lady. Who hasn't been blind when they were young?Seeing Miss Jane Bennet again in London this time, she is obviously more mature, stable, gentle and charming. Bingley seems to think that she has grown enough to accept a reasonable love, but what if the rival is the Duke?

Bingley thought he'd better drink to death.

Even if it is for Bingley not to give up on himself, Darcy is very concerned that Elizabeth can find out why Jane.

For Jane's leaving without saying goodbye tonight, Elizabeth was very sad, but no matter what Jane did, they were all blood-linked relatives, and what one person did was related to everyone else's thoughts, and there was no constant parting.

Even Mrs. Bennet, who never knew how to read people's faces, found Elizabeth's face very ugly on the carriage home.

Anyway, it wasn't me who caused trouble. The old lady washed up and went to bed as usual at night, and didn't care about her two daughters at all. She was thinking about other things in her mind. It is impossible to persuade the other daughters to share a little dowry each, so that I can subsidize the younger daughter more.

Because it will not be so easy for Lydia to go back to Derbyshire in the future. Once she is wronged, she will have nowhere to cry. At least she has money so she is not really helpless.

Sometimes money is much more reliable than people, Mrs. Bennet sighed, just like her current situation, Mr. Bennet left without saying goodbye, fortunately she still has money!

Elizabeth silently helped Mrs. Gardiner with her work. She and Jane temporarily stayed at her uncle's house with a large bed in the same room. Mrs. Gardiner is such a smart person that she has already noticed the atmosphere between the two sisters Something is wrong.But she is not the mother of the Bennet sisters, and Mrs. Bennet is indifferent. If Elizabeth is not willing to take the initiative to ask her to make peace, Mrs. Gardiner is helpless.

She closed the door apprehensively.

Almost as soon as the door was closed, Elizabeth jumped up like a lioness. She allocated Jane to her territory, but faced with the Duke's rudeness, Elizabeth almost found herself powerless in despair.

"Why did you go with him, Jane," Elizabeth was so angry that she was incoherent: "Even if you can't refuse...it's a public..."

Jane was surprisingly calm: "Liz, I know that what I did is unbelievable to you, even I find it unbelievable to myself, but can you just give me a few minutes and let me talk to you about the ins and outs?"

Elizabeth suddenly remembered Darcy's words of patient persuasion to herself, and she tried to suppress the irritability irritated by the Duke of Devonshire's absolute power and doing whatever he wanted: "Okay, I'll listen, Jane, no matter how unbelievable the story you tell, I Commit to listening with the utmost trust."

This is the indestructible love of blood, reason makes you angry, and emotion makes you have to understand.

"When I saw the Duke, I found out that he was the servant who came to our house. Liz, you must have found out that he paid attention to me at that time, that's why you were so nervous. But at that time he was a servant, so I didn't even notice it. When I arrived, I didn't take it seriously, but he is the Duke, so I have to take it seriously. If he has any plans for me, not many people can stop him." Although Jane is innocent, but because of her unique beauty, She has received countless attentions since she was a child, so she can distinguish whether people's gazes directed at her are benign or malicious.

The Duke of Devonshire wasn't malicious, at least.

Knowing that the Duke really didn't mean that, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief.Because the duke didn't need to bother the nobleman to do anything as long as he showed a little bit of meaning. Most people would embarrass the Bennet family because they wanted to flatter.

Elizabeth's tone turned to complaints: "Even if he has no malicious intentions, you can't leave our sight and talk to him alone."

"I don't want to," Jane said helplessly, "but he showed me a pendant. When the pendant opened, it was a miniature oil painting portrait. You don't know. As soon as I saw that portrait, I realized that I was seven times the size of that person. The resemblance. Because I am curious about the origin of this portrait, I will talk to the Duke alone."

Needless to say, the portrait was of a woman.

In the almost reclusive life of the Duke of Devonshire, it is hard to imagine that he would carry a portrait of a woman with him.Maybe it was his first love, which he couldn't ask for, but he didn't have any plans for Jane. The first love seems unreasonable; could it be his close relative? Elizabeth suddenly thought of a possibility, that person was once a peerless beauty who was famous all over London, The Countess of Jersey, known as the "Queen Sarah" in society, reaches no more than one of her little fingers.The only one who can be called this peerless beauty is Marie Antoinette, queen of Louis XVI of France at the same time.

Knowing this little secret, Elizabeth couldn't help but look at Jane's face, which she was already very familiar with but still surprised occasionally, but she still couldn't imagine what that person looked like in his heyday.Although Jane's facial features were exquisite, her temperament was completely different from that person's. She was gentle and introverted, and she would never be the all-powerful fashion queen. The Duke of Devonshire must have discovered it.

That's why he didn't say anything.

Jane was very surprised, she knew her sister too well: "Liz, you guessed it?!"

Elizabeth nodded: "Jane, your appearance is very rare even in London. There are very few people who are similar to your appearance and can make the Duke cherish."

They were talking about the duke's mother, Georgiana Cavendish, fifth Duchess of Devonshire, by maiden name Spencer.After Elizabeth has been there for 200 years, she knows that she has a direct descendant who has almost exactly the same experience as her, that is, Princess Diana, the British rose that is popular all over the world.Obviously there are countless people who admire and admire her, but the only one who is not tempted is the legal husband.

The same surname, a tragedy repeated in two generations.

Elizabeth had to lament the striking similarity of history.

Before the Duke of Devonshire was born, his father had taken his mistress to live with him at home. The mistress was also a good friend of the Duchess, and the three lived together for 25 years.Before the Duchess died, she also named this hard-working mistress as her successor. Of course, the former Duke may just be not interested in his legitimate wife, because he soon found another woman.

The young Duke may have envied his mother, who died young, a poor woman struggling in a miserable marriage.

Because of witnessing the tragedy of the previous generation, he is not even willing to marry a wife and have children.

Even after being amazed at the first sight of Jane, who looks similar, he quickly discovered the huge difference in personality and stopped decisively.

Deep down in the duke's heart, it seemed that no one could get close to him.

Elizabeth was very grateful: "Jane, to be honest, I know you are very honest and reserved, but the status of a duke is too noble, and not many people can refuse...I'm not saying that I don't believe you, but this is human nature... …I'm very sorry……"

"How come, Liz, why do you think so?" Jane blushed: "I won't be tempted by others, not even the Duke."

Elizabeth immediately realized the clues in Jane's words.

She will not be tempted by the Duke, because she has someone she loves in her heart.

"Who is it? Tell me, Jane, who is that person who keeps you from being swayed by others?" Elizabeth held Jane's hand, preventing her from escaping easily: "Who is that person? Jane, let's find a way together, Jane, tell me."

Jane suddenly covered her face and burst into tears, as if she had been suppressing it and could finally vent it.

She whimpered intermittently: "No, Liz, I can't say the person's name, because it's impossible for us, after what I did."

Elizabeth understood at once that it was Mr. Bingley.

She always thought that Jane was fine and everything could start again, but in fact it didn't.

Jane is just good at hiding her feelings as always, but she has been living in despair because of the damn time-traveling girl.
