[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Anwen placed the servants here on Skye not only to complete housework.His servants acted as some eyeliners. Although it was impossible to know about Skye's secrets, if he just wanted to find out the list of visiting guests, there would be no problem at all.

Anwen assigned a high-risk list to his servants, which included playboys in the city of London, liars, politicians full of nonsense, and of course Darcy-yes, Darcy was on the list The number one object of attention.

Anwen ordered his servant to report as soon as Darcy visited Skye, no matter what he was doing.

Of course, the servant obeyed the master's order immediately.They worked diligently to spread the news, and it was completely foreseeable that the Holt family would have a good show to be staged.

If there were no accidents, Anwen should be able to return home soon.At least Skye and Darcy won't have some alone time.

But Anwen didn't feel annoyed at being late.

He had wanted to prepare a present for Skye at the perfume shop around the corner.But unexpectedly met a charming girl there.

Skye discovered this too.

After talking about himself, Skye smelled the perfume on Anwen's body: "Did you go to the nearby perfume shop?"

Anwen sniffed, but didn't smell anything. He asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Well, you smell like a violet heart. The new style next door is actually not very popular with the upper class. Although its price is expensive, there are few people who care about it. I guess that at the banquet you attended No one is going to wear it, so... what did you do in the perfumery?"

"No one cares about it?" Anwen repeated Skye's words.His expression was a little strange.

"That's right. But their perfume bottles are very interesting, and some ladies like to buy some containers." Skye doesn't use perfume much, but she still knows about it.

"So it's like this..." Anwen obviously thought of something, but he didn't want Skye to know, so he turned to praise Skye: "It seems that my sister still has some experience with the things these women use of."

Skye rolled her eyes after hearing this, and she felt that Anwen might not make her more helpless. "Your sister is obviously a woman too. We agree on that, don't we?"

Skye saw that Anwen's expression was clearly out of state.She thought about it, and said to Anwen, "Did you... smell anything?"

"Smell? Doesn't it mean that I smell of perfume?" Anwen fell into Skye's trap without noticing it for a while.

Skye gave a playful smile.This time it was finally her turn to laugh at her elder brother, "I have heard rumors that the duke's adopted son's sexuality is a mystery. After all, your servants are so beautiful that it is shocking. There are still painters who pay high prices to ask them to be models Yes? But you refused, didn’t you? In my opinion, your servants are all the leaders in conveying information. If I have such sincere servants, I don’t want to let them show up.” Skye seized the opportunity He taunted An Wen again, and finally said: "I remembered! Is it the sour smell of love that I smell?"

An Wen has met some charming lady!

Skye caught Anwen's little tail.

Anwen was very helpless with Skye's words.If someone else talked about his private affairs like this.Those people will definitely taste the consequences of doing so.But he is facing Skye now, and Anwen is willing to be more frank.

"I have absolutely no problem. But if you say that in front of the Duke, there may be something wrong."

Skye raised his eyebrows, "I always thought our Lord Duke was... a bit shy?"

After she finished speaking, she was also disgusted.After all, it would be appalling to use the term 'shy' to describe a young man to describe an old man who stepped into a coffin with one foot.But this in itself is just an implicit statement. Anwen's adoptive father can only be said to be an indecisive person, which is the fundamental reason why he will be manipulated by an adopted son.

"Don't say that!" Anwen finally showed a real, disgusted expression.He waved his hand vigorously, and said to Skye: "You guys will have a chance to meet each other soon, I want him to lead you into the social circle formally."

It's an honor and a hassle.

Skye looked up at Anwen, as if confirming the weight of this sentence to him.

"It won't be a problem." Skye heard Anwen tell her very firmly.

"But you know I... don't plan to marry any nobleman?" Skye asked hesitantly.

"I only know that the balance in your heart has inevitably shifted towards Mr. Darcy. Your poor brother is not as good as a feather in front of Mr. Darcy..."

"This is a bit exaggerated..." Skye said with disgust.

Anwen was not joking with her.He looked at Skye seriously, and said in a low and dignified tone: "Skye, no matter whether you end up with Darcy or not, I, as an older brother, will always do something for you. Just treat it as It's my compensation for my absence all these years."

Skye was touched by Anwen's words.She vaguely felt the reason why Anwen was so resistant to Darcy before, but she didn't reveal it personally, so she was a little uncertain.

Now Skye was finally sure that Anwen was helping her.He wanted to let Darcy know the troubles he had to go through in pursuing a Holt, just like in all fairy tales, the prince always has to go through many difficulties before he gets the princess.If you get it too soon, you will not cherish it.

Of course, if Anwen can catch Darcy in the process of looking for trouble, then he is probably happy to prevent Skye and Darcy from getting together.

Such behavior is very clumsy, but unexpectedly touching.

Skye took a sip of black tea in a concealed manner, the tea was slightly cold, but still very comforting.

Anwen also poured himself a cup of black tea, and it was rare for the brother and sister to enjoy such a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

As a result, Skye asked coldly: "So... that beautiful lady you met in the perfume shop, which family is it?"

'Puff...' "Ahem——" Anwen choked his throat with a sip of black tea, he coughed violently, until his eye sockets were red, and then he calmed down slowly.

Anwen quickly realized that Skye would not let go of this rare opportunity to gossip. The so-called "gossip" always had to be paid back. He meddled in his sister's emotional problems so happily, so he had to be prepared to be asked back.

"I think... I don't know her name yet. But there's no doubt that this girl is an angel."

Anwen couldn't escape, like a fool who fell into the lake of love, Skye didn't know how much he disliked his expression at this moment.She saw that Anwen finally explained the whole story of what she encountered in the perfume shop in a coy manner——

"I chatted with her briefly, she looks a little shy..."

Anwen paused for a moment. He realized that this word was used by Skye to describe his adoptive father not long ago. He curled his lips in disappointment and tried his best to erase the gray-haired old man from his memory.

"You can say the result, I don't want to know your mental activities at all." Skye also thought of this adjective, and she asked Anwen to fast forward in disappointment.

Anwen glared at Skye, then said aggrievedly: "In the end I bought a perfume bottle for him, just like what you said, the lady didn't seem to bring any money, I bought it and secretly put it on her in her handbag... Do you think she will remember me?"

Skye looked at Anwen with pity, and told him the cruel truth: "Maybe that girl will think you are a 'shy' 'boy'!"

——The word shy is going to be ruined!

Darcy returned home full of anger.Georgiana had been waiting for her brother in the study early in the morning.She knew that Darcy would come to this room immediately, even though there were not many books here.

"Georgianna?" Darcy restrained his anger a little when he saw his sister.He stopped thinking about the informant for a while, and became a patient brother again.But it occurred to him that Georgiana might be getting wind of it among her friends, and he asked his sister, "Has anyone .

This question stunned Georgiana for a moment.Seeing Darcy's serious expression, she thought about it carefully, and finally said cautiously: "The last time I heard you and the name Skye appeared together was at a banquet..."

Georgiana helps Darcy find some clues.There were indeed some rumors pointing to something that was not good for Skye, but Anwen stopped the spread of such news in time.Skye has reason to be angry, and it is necessary for Darcy to find the source of the rumors.

Georgiana didn't leave immediately after talking about this matter, she already knew that Darcy's love was not going well, and the reason was that Miss Skye felt that her reputation had been hurt.

But Georgiana had something to say to Darcy.

Darcy was surprised that Georgiana hesitated to speak, and he asked with concern: "Did something happen?"

"Yes...it's like this... After I left Skye's house today, I went to the perfume shop near Skye's house... I met a very strange man..."
