[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

After the sound of glass being broken, there was a brief silence in the room.

Apart from the initial glance at each other, Skye and Anwen didn't react much.The air seemed to be stagnant. At this time, the sky was dark, and the sky outside the window was as gloomy and dignified as a crow's wing.

The cook leaned on Elsie wearily.This made Elsie bewildered.He has never had such intimate contact with other women, never.

When the two of them got close, the cook's body was soft and warm.The work in the kitchen saves her from wearing too heavy clothes, and the temperature of the labor plus the temperature of the bread oven is enough to keep a person warm.

People who have never experienced that kind of temperature should not know that sometimes when the fire in the stove is burning, it is not just warm, the scorching temperature will scorch people's hair and burn people's skin until it turns red .

Of course Elsie didn't know any of this.He could only feel the soft touch on one side of his body, which was warm and real, completely different from all his previous experiences.

The maid let out an unbearable gasp as the wound was touched.The breath sprayed on Elsie's face, and the golden hair brushed gently. In the end, the maid's obvious pain trembled, helping Elsie regain her sanity from the fugue.

When the maid finally stood up straight again, Elsie felt lost in such warmth.He looked up to see Skye and Anwen, both of them looked at him...and Mr. Darcy with half-smiles in their eyes.

How could this be?

Elsie felt a little heavy. —these two are his family, and both are indifferent to the suffering of others.

He quickly spurned himself again. Similarly, didn't he also have some charming thoughts when others were in pain?

Skye still didn't speak.She was sitting on the sofa in a godlike manner, not concerned with her own business, completely watching other people's busy appearance.

After seeing the maid's wound, Darcy didn't immediately make any comments.

The butler hurried back to the living room, his face was as gloomy as the sky outside, and as Skye had expected, he had no sympathy for the injured maid.

"Miss." The butler looked at the situation in the room.In fact, there is no need for careful observation and insight - Darcy and Elsie are standing on the side of the maid, Anwen and Skye are sitting, domineering.

"You say." Skye nodded.She also finally restrained her smile, her expression was equal to that of An Wen's, and her coldness made people frightened.

The maid stole a glance at Skye, and she saw the hostess coldly brushing her aside, as if looking at something dirty.She flinched, feeling that the lethality of that glance was more painful than the whole wound.

"Fenna found out that she was talking about Master behind her back, and then they had a quarrel..."

The reality version is much more tragic than what the housekeeper said.

This young and pretty maid is called Mary.It was a servant recruited just a few months ago.It turned out that the cook in her place got married and opened a bakery with her husband.Everyone said that she was very lucky, and her days would be much better in the future.But how on earth did she have a sum of money to open the shop? The servants all guessed that someone funded it—she had served the Holt family for several years, and Skye was not as ruthless as she seemed after all...Of course, it was still that As a rule, don't talk about the master in private.

The new Mary is a pretty girl.At the beginning, the butler had some complaints about arranging Mary to be the cook. After all, Mary's conditions were quite good enough to be a personal maid.

For this reason, the housekeeper once consulted Skye's opinion, and Skye insisted on letting Mary be the cook, so she settled down in the kitchen-in charge of kneading the dough.

Although Mary was occasionally lazy during this time, she rarely communicated with the servants. She looked a little noble, which made people very reassuring.

Mary loves makeup, and although she's been told multiple times not to wear it at work, that doesn't change the fact that she secretly perms her hair.

There is no specific tool to perm her hair, which makes her hair a little fragile.And hair loss is a terrible problem in the kitchen.

Fenner, who was in charge of baking, once found a hair stuck in the bread when cutting the bread.She asks Mary to wear a hijab at work, but Mary refuses.This became the start of a dispute between the two men.

"I don't think there's anything very special about Miss Skyholt. Don't you? She's literally frozen until the men come to the door. I've never seen her smile before... you Are you not afraid? Who can guarantee that she is sincere to the few men who came to the door? But she still has so many people pursuing her, it is like magic!"

Mary's words silenced the entire kitchen.Once the steward finds out that a servant talks about the master...they are all likely to be implicated.

It is hard to find a job with such a good salary, so Fenner immediately became popular.She revealed Mary's biggest secret: "What right do you have to say about others? Do you think no one knows about hooking up with the servant brought by Mr. Anwen?"

Mary is not really aloof, but she has a clear goal of releasing her charm, so she won't be close to most people.

In the knowing eyes of several male servants, Mary, who was pointed out, became angry. In the busy atmosphere of the kitchen, the two began to wrestle.

The butler's sentence took over the conversation between Fenner and Mary.

When he got to this point, Elsie asked, "Then why...Mary got scratched?"

The butler did not look at Elsie, nor answer his question.

Skye rubbed her forehead with some headaches, but she didn't speak.Anwen chuckled, and told the housekeeper, "Tell him...why did Mary get scratched?"

The butler then resumed his narrative.

"Mary's injury wasn't too bad. Fenner was pushed halfway into the stove. Her arm was badly burned."

"Then tell them, how old is Fenna this year!"

"19 years old, Miss." The butler replied with a heavy tone.

Only then did Skye turn her head. She looked at Elsie in disappointment, with the eyes that Elsie was most afraid of seeing, and said at the same time: "You probably want to know... How old is beautiful Mary?"

"It has nothing to do with age, they are all injured!" Elsie took half a step back guiltily.He bumped into Mary, taking in her terrified expression. "The question is not right or wrong at all. No matter who is injured, you should not be indifferent!"

"That's enough, Elsie." Anwen stopped Elsie, he prevented Elsie from saying more hurtful words, and let an unimportant matter become a damage to the relationship between relatives.

But this may not be very timely.Skye was still hurt.Her eyelashes flickered a few times, and her flickering eyes didn't know what she was thinking about.

"Let the doctor treat Fenner first, and let her rest assured that I will be responsible for all her medical expenses." As for Miss Mary, who was only scratched from her chin to her neck, Skye sneered: "About you, We will have a proper solution."

This is indeed a bit too much.Even if Skye has something to hide.

"No matter what I don't know, she obviously needs to be treated." Darcy said to Skye aloud, seeing that Mary's blood was still flowing.

"Are you on my side?"

"Yes." Darcy nodded. "But she needs treatment."

The doctor will be here soon.A few years ago, Elsie had a fever, and she couldn't get a doctor late at night, which wasted some time and almost delayed Elsie's condition.Since that time, Skye has secured a personal doctor and made sure he is always on call.

Elsie obviously knew the doctor.He also knew how much Skye had put in for him.After the reckless courage receded, the feeling of guilt emerged spontaneously.Elsie lowered her head so much that she didn't dare to look at Skye.

While Darcy stood on the sidelines for a while, he still saw the more seriously injured Fenner.Her entire right hand was almost scorched, the dark black was mixed with some bright red colors, there was no bleeding, only the sticky dark solidified on the wound, which made people take a breath of air.

When compared with Fenner's remnant appearance, that Mary is really not worth mentioning.

Darcy also couldn't figure out how an ordinary cook could put such a heavy hand on another.From Mary's appearance alone, she is just a weak little girl.

Now, Darcy is glad that he believed in Skye.

And in order to show that he will not participate in the embarrassing affairs of the master's family, he leaves the matter to Skye to solve it by himself.Darcy also thoughtfully proposed to leave.

Darcy wasn't sure if he saw Anwen whisper something into Skye's ear when he was leaving, and he wasn't sure if he saw Skye's face change slightly.

Anwen asked Skye softly in her ear, "Do you know which of my servants Mary is with? What does this cook want to do?"

"Don't you know? Otherwise, how could your manservant 'follow' her?"

"I care more about whether you know..." Anwen's voice was clear and affectionate, and his handsome appearance also made him invincible among the ladies.

Skye shot him a look and motioned him not to say that in the living room.After bidding farewell to Darcy, Skye motioned Anwen to talk with him in the study.

After entering the study and closing the door of the room, Skye said to Anwen with disgust: "Let me say this for the last time, don't treat your sister in the way you treat women. Don't try any more. Already!"

Mary is Mr. Rose's mistress.That honorable judge thought he had covered this up well, as if no one knew about it.He has been spying on Holt's property for such a long time, but he has not found any loopholes that can be covered up on the surface. In the end, he can only come up with such a method of relying on women to win.

Poor Mary thought she was bearing the burden of humiliation, but she didn't know that Skye had been reminded by her partner long ago.Everyone treats the judge's mistress as a joke behind his back, and even laughs at the judge himself...

"Okay, okay...don't be angry..." Anwen pressed down with his hands weakly, and he quickly promised.Then a bigger bomb was thrown: "You don't think Darcy is really on your side, do you...?"

Skye took the next volume of the book Anwen read today from the shelf and threw it to him.She said upsetly: "Do you think this trick will work for me? You pretend to like Darcy very much, and then 'inadvertently' put forward your negative opinions, so that I will feel that you are very pertinent, and I will lose my respect for Darcy." Xi's confidence?"

Anwen showed a painful expression, his expression was very real... there was no trace of acting at all.Like all the sad brothers in the world, Anwen sighed and said, "You think so? Darcy is indeed not as trustworthy as he appears on the surface. What you told him not to say, he said in a blink of an eye. Others have heard it...do you need me to make it clearer...bookstore..."

Skye hesitated a little.No one was there when she talked about it with Darcy, and everyone who knew about it was dead, so that's what Darcy really said.

"He won't tell you about it..."

"Of course he won't talk about it casually...but there are always certain people who will make him feel at ease...such as...that Miss Elizabeth."

The last bit of blood faded on Skye's face. If Anwen said Miss Bingley's name, then Skye would suspect that the conversation was overheard, but Elizabeth——she fell into a vortex of suspicion because of this name.
