A few days later, Aunt Philip invited the ladies of the Bennet family to her house, and Cousin Collins followed happily.

When they arrived, they found that Wickham and several officers were also invited. After seeing them, Wickham smiled charmingly and nodded at them. I have to say that he is indeed very handsome. The smile became more charming, and Kitty, who was beside Jane, was a little uneasy because of this smile.At this time Aunt Philip came over, and just as they were about to say hello to Aunt Philip, Cousin Collins spoke first: "Madame, your living room decoration is really exquisite, I think it can be compared to Rosings Manor in summer. It's breakfast." With his usual flattering smile.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. How did this cousin have such a low EQ? She had no choice but to explain: "Rosings Manor is the place where Collins's cousin, Mrs. De Bourgh, lives. It's beautiful, and a fireplace costs eight hundred pounds, so I'm sure my cousin really compliments your drawing-room decorations."

After Jane explained, Mrs. Philip's expression softened a little. Collins still wanted to compliment him, and Mrs. Philip also wanted to hear him talk about Rosings Garden, so as to see if he was really stupid or just pretending to be sarcastic. So he and Philip The wife went to chat elsewhere and sent away the annoying cousin. Jane finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't want to hear her cousin making blind comparisons in her ears.Lydia took Mary and Kitty to find a place to play cards with other guests. After all, this party was just about gossip and playing cards, and there was nothing new.Seeing that Jane and Elizabeth were idle, Wixham felt that this was a very good opportunity. Holding a glass of wine, he acted like a gentleman and walked slowly towards Jane and Elizabeth.

"It was a coincidence that we met at the market a few days ago. I remember we had a good chat at that time." He said with a happy smile.

"Yeah, it's a little unpleasant to meet someone." Elizabeth continued her words. Just as Jane was about to say something, Elizabeth shook her hand and signaled her not to speak.Elizabeth is eager to know the true face of Mr. Darcy, and she feels that she must stop Jane from liking her any longer.

"Are you talking about Mr. Darcy?" Seeing Elizabeth's displeased expression when he mentioned Darcy, Wickham felt that he could start to hate Darcy, "We grew up together and had a good relationship before, but because of some The misunderstanding has broken up, alas, forget it, even if I don’t mention this trivial matter, it will always make me feel uncomfortable, after all, we used to be very good friends.” Having said that, Wickham naturally hopes that They kept asking.

"Since this matter touches your scars, we are embarrassed to ask any further. I believe it will be an insult to you if we force a gentleman to tell the bad things about another gentleman. , since you have already said that this may be a misunderstanding, then let this misunderstanding be resolved between the two of you. I am very sorry for making you talk about sad things." Jane finished these words quickly, with guilt on her face expression.

Jane had already said this, so it was naturally difficult for Wixham to continue. He felt that the words he had just thought up were stuck in his chest, and he felt uncomfortable.However, after Jane finished speaking, she immediately changed the topic. It didn't seem like she was going to bring up those words just now. He was in a bad mood at this time, who had never missed a shot, and had to act like a gentleman. Holding back, he spit out a mouthful of old blood.He didn't know whether Jane really didn't have the heart to gossip or was too understanding, so he stopped asking if she didn't want to. Anyway, this girl played her cards too unreasonably.He found a random reason and left, he thought he had to find another person to confide in.

Seeing Jane's mischievous smile, Elizabeth sighed helplessly, now let Jane go, there is always a chance to find some evidence.But what she didn't expect was that bad evidence about Mr. Darcy spread throughout most of Meryton after a few days.
