[Pride and Prejudice] Wisdom

"Dear Lizzie, Lydia, when I write this letter, I will tell you an unbelievable news, but I hope that it is better for you not to reveal it to the outside world."

"Last night, when we should have gone to bed, we received an express letter from Colonel Foster."

"This matter has something to do with your sister Kitty, and perhaps this matter will bring you misfortune."

"Your sister, Kitty, ran off with Colonel Foster's officers last night, and, to be honest, she ran with Wickham. It is indeed missing.”

"Of course, we didn't expect that Wickham would be such a person! But fortunately, Kitty left a message when he left so that we have something to follow. At this moment, we learned the news Afterwards, your mother was bedridden and weak, but Colonel Foster has helped us chase, God bless."

"In the end, it's best for you to come back quickly, the house is already in chaos."

The handwriting of the letter was obviously written hastily and was very scribbled.

Seeing Lydia holding a letter in her hand, Elizabeth also came over and asked.

"Is it a letter from Mr. Darcy?" But seeing Lydia's serious face, she became a little uncertain again.

Lydia was almost stunned, she ignored Elizabeth's question, read a long paragraph, and finally handed the letter to Elizabeth silently.

Elizabeth accepted the letter in doubt, and before she saw a few words, her expression changed drastically.

But there are other people here. After all, family ugliness should not be publicized. The two sisters still resisted the absurdity in their hearts, and hurried back to the room.

"What's wrong with Lydia and the others?" Maria turned to her sister and asked.

Charlotte, not knowing what happened, shook her head.

Lydia and Elizabeth closed the door and looked at each other.

In Mr. Bennet's letter, he completely abandoned his usual ironic tone and was extremely formal.

And it was this kind of formality that gave Elizabeth a chill in her heart.

Now, Wickham's gentle and gentle veil has been truly lifted, revealing an extremely disgusting side.

"Kitty has run off with Wickham." Elizabeth found the news incredible.

Lydia was thinking over and over again about the news revealed by her father in the letter.

There was no doubt that Kitty and Wickham had gone, but fortunately they were discovered early, and the chances would be better if someone was called to look for them.

When the raw rice is cooked, it will be too late.

Lydia never expected that her original fate would be strangely shifted to Kitty.

But now, the most important question for her to figure out was why Wickham had such a soft spot for the Bennet sisters, and why he couldn't wait to run away with Kitty.

Besides, according to Kitty's personality, although she was easily dazed by those red uniforms sometimes, she would never be so reckless when it came to her own interests.

Lydia's eyes flashed with thought, and she said firmly to Elizabeth.

"No, Kitty didn't run away, she just went to visit relatives elsewhere."

Elizabeth was a little surprised when she heard Lydia's words at first, but she soon understood.

"That's right, that's right," she said.

"Father said in the letter that Colonel Foster thinks Wickham won't marry Kitty at all." Elizabeth frowned: "Then why did he run away with Kitty? Could it be to bully Kitty?" Young and ignorant? No noble birth? Want to play tricks on us?"

Lydia didn't have the heart to think about so many things. She turned her head around and said immediately: "Did Dad write to uncle and them? Now we are not many in number, so we can only ask them for help."

Elizabeth flipped through the letter and found that the matter was not mentioned in the letter, so she immediately picked up the pen, wrote a letter with Lydia, and added an urgent letter, hoping to send it to her uncle as soon as possible.

Lydia and Elizabeth couldn't stay in Hunsford any longer after such a big family event.

But in order not to let others see anything, after all, once others find out, it will be a heavy blow to the reputation of the entire Bennet family.

So they discussed to bid farewell to them after dinner, just packed their things, and rushed back early the next morning.

Charlotte was obviously very disappointed with their farewell. She didn't want her friend to leave so quickly, but seeing Elizabeth and Lydia begging again and again, she could only agree.

However, she still kindly asked them to come and see her more often.

After a meal, she was absent-minded, and Lydia's thoughts had already gone to the horizon, wandering aimlessly.

Of course, Elizabeth was not much better than her own sister.

For a while she wondered why Kitty was so impulsive, and for a while she was worried that something bad happened to her.

In this era when marriage can determine a woman's life, it is self-evident what the result will be if she marries someone like Wickham.

After dinner, Darcy boarded Collins' house as usual.

After a period of time, he has become very familiar with the structure of the Collins house, and he has already figured out which room Lydia lives in.

Collins can say that this is the moment of the day that he looks forward to the most, so that he can not only chat with Mr. Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam, but also admire Mr. Darcy's heroic posture so that he can get close.

For Collins, this is the most beautiful thing.

It's a pity that today's two men obviously have no intention of talking to Collins.

In the past, they were willing to talk to Collins to make their intentions not so obvious

Darcy saw Lydia at a glance. Compared with the previous lively and charming, she was obviously disturbed. Although she tried her best to conceal it, Darcy, who was already familiar with her demeanor, could still see something from it.

Lydia caught a glimpse of Darcy coming, afraid that he would see something, so she cheered up and smiled at him.

Her long eyelashes trembled, looking lovable.

Darcy's mind and heart were all on her, and he couldn't leave.

Naturally, he sat beside her.

"What's the matter? Lydia, you seem a little uncomfortable? Is it important?" Darcy tried to make his voice gentle and considerate.

When Lydia thought of Kitty, it seemed as if a breath was stuck in her throat. She mumbled and said something in an incomprehensible tone that she didn't even know what she was talking about.

Seeing her like this, Darcy was even more worried.

"What's the matter?" His tone was tough, but thinking of Lydia's state, he softened again.

"Can't you tell me?"

"No...not." Lydia was silent for a while, then said, "I was just thinking, I'm going home tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll see you again."

Darcy was stunned: "It's okay, it's very simple. In a few days, I'm going to Niripei."

"So don't worry, you don't have to do this." Darcy comforted her, anyway, she could see her every day in the future.

Although Lydia's attitude was suspicious, Darcy didn't want to doubt anything. After all, Lydia had her own reasons.

Lydia slowly let go of the tone she held in her heart.

Kitty was also extremely remorseful in her heart.

She and Wickham met several times at her friend's house afterward. Unlike at the beginning, what made Kitty feel uncharacteristically was that Wickham didn't surround others like before. Instead, His bewitching eyes landed where he was.

This made Kitty both panicked and ecstatic at the same time.

She was naturally full of joy at this sudden favor.

Men are affectionate, women are interested.

Relying on Wickham's fluent eloquence, they quickly struck up a conversation again.

Because of the man's very enthusiastic conversation, Kitty was flattered, but also had to feel a little excited and secretly proud.

Look, Jane has that Mr. Bingley, and Lydia actually has that Darcy. Seeing Wickham's enthusiasm for her, if she can be his popular wife, then she should It's such a dignified thing.

So when Wickham proposed that he wanted to go out with her, Kitty quickly agreed, for fear that he would regret it.

Smart people always know how to seize the opportunity.

Although Kitty wanted to repent a little afterwards, Wickham, who could see what was going on in her heart, didn't give her a chance at all, and directly set the time, which happened to be that night.

At this moment, all the regretful thoughts in Kitty's heart disappeared at once. Seeing Wickham's charming smile, her mind was full of Wickham's face, and how she could sneak out. , Go and see with him, how can I think about other things.

And now.

She looked at Wickham, an officer in red uniform who was driving a carriage with a wrinkled face outside, and bit her lip, feeling regret for the first time in her heart.
