[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 37

At night, when he walked into the master's room of Bennett's house, Mr. Bennett embraced Grace, who was standing in front of the window and looked very thin, into his arms with distressed eyes.

"Cecil, am I doing well enough?" Grace's tone was so low that Mr. Bennett couldn't help frowning.

"Grace, William and Delia are still children." Their hearts are not bad, and they don't even have too many bad thoughts, otherwise Delia wouldn't have told Gray about it. Adams and him.

"Is there no Delia, and where is William?" Grace did not forget the person who held a key position in this matter in Delia's mouth.

In contrast to Delia, who was more or less raised by her, William had a governess before and went to school with Dylan.Delia's temperament is slightly crazy. If it weren't for her suppression, she might really feel as frivolous as in the original drama, so the key to today's matter is not Delia, but William.

Think about it, how could it be possible for that little girl, Delia, to keep the maids and tutors around Delia from the Bennett family!Even though she and the four daughters of the Bennett family have the same curriculum, she didn't put her heart on it. Didn't see that the 14-year-old twins found something wrong in the afternoon, but Delia didn't care of the lungs?

Or maybe that's why William did this, because they didn't raise his sister well?

Grace raised her hand and rubbed her temples. She felt that she should not continue to think about it, or she would completely deny the two brothers and sisters.After all, it was a relationship of more than ten years, so it shouldn't be so indifferent and calculating.

Mr. Bennett took Grace's hand away and massaged her head vigorously with his long, thin fingers.

Grace has always paid attention to body maintenance, and never stopped doing yoga exercises and various homemade facial masks and cosmetics.Affected by this, Mr. Bennett will exercise with Grace even though he will not use too much skin care products and other overly feminine things.

It can't be that his wife is still a flowery and beautiful family in her thirties when she goes out, but he has become a bad old man!Although he believed that Grace would not look for a lover or anything, he still had to pay attention to his appearance.Humans are visual animals, and looking good will always take advantage.

Mr. Bennett is still very satisfied with his figure and appearance. Every time he and Grace attend some dinners and dances together, the eyes of those people make him very proud.Although he is middle-aged and his son and daughter are about to get married, he is still an attractive uncle, which is more than enough for Grace!

Mr. Bennett savored the softness of his wife's skin from his fingertips, while considering how to choose his words: "Grace, William doesn't want to cause us any trouble. The Bennett family has helped him a lot over the years. We He also has a lot of children, he doesn't want us to worry about this matter."

Grace, who had already relaxed a little, tensed up instantly. She raised her head and stared at Mr. Bennett with a half-smile: "Cecile, are you sure you're really comforting me..." instead of pulling for the William brothers and sisters. hate?

Touching his nose embarrassingly, Mr. Bennet smiled wryly: "Well, I have to admit that I am also very disappointed in William. But Grace, do you really want Lydia to marry as Collins?"

"Liz went to find you?" Grace raised her eyebrows. Her children are really kind, even if they are angry, they still think about each other.

"Ahem." Mr. Bennet coughed, his eyes wandering, "Grace, they are sisters."

"It doesn't matter if sisters are deeply in love. Don't be sold and just count the money for others." Leaving Mr. Bennett's arms, Grace walked to the bed and sat down, "Cecile, I'm not really angry, just I feel chilled, and I don’t think it’s worth it. Is there anything worth calculating about his Collins family, and William is actually guarding us like this. No matter how good Mr. Wickham is, how about Charles and Fitzwilliam? He’s just a housekeeper’s boy , will my family Mary and Catherine fall in love with him?"

"Grace..."

"Cecil, I'm so sad. You can tell me that Liz and I were angry that afternoon, Lydia can still marry from our Bennetts, but the Bennetts will pay her a dowry, I It can’t be done. There are also her maids and tutors, who will be directly hired by her or William in the future.” Narrowing his eyes, Grace said coldly, “In case some people receive the salary of the master’s family, but Don't know what to do."

Hugging her again, Mr. Bennett kissed her forehead: "Okay, it's all up to you, dear. William and the others are just my distant relatives. I have done enough for them, and you don't have to worry about their brothers and sisters anymore." Worry. Let Delia get married as soon as possible, and they will have nothing to do with us."

Collins' property was handed over to Mr. Bennett when William became an adult a few years ago. When Lydia married again, the Bennett family really had nothing to do with them.Mr. Bennet had a son of his own, Dylan, and even if his lands at Longbourne were subject to the limited succession of the British Empire, William had nothing to do with it.

"Cecil, what I'm saying is that Lydia can marry from the Bennett family, but she can't marry under Bennett's surname." Grace looked at Mr. Bennett seriously and said.

If she was confident that she could educate all the children of the Bennett family well before, she is deeply disappointed now.If Delia married with the Bennett surname, it is impossible for her to have nothing to do with the Bennett family.In case she did something, Grace and Mary and Catherine's two daughters can't affect their reputation because of Delia!

"It's up to you, honey, I'll ask Mr. Smith to hire a lawyer tomorrow." Grace's concerns were also clear to Mr. Bennett.

Even if he has feelings for these two nephews and nieces, they are still not as good as his and Grace's children.He could only sigh from the bottom of his heart, William's move was really bad, especially when he had betrayed a girl he didn't know yet.

"... Cecil, Wickham won't marry Lydia just because she's not the daughter of the viscount, right?" Grace asked quietly after a long silence.After all, if you really want to let go of the child you have raised for more than ten years, Grace can't do it.

I had a pretty good impression of Wickham at first, so I returned to the same one as in the original book.Regardless of whether he knew it or not, Grace couldn't treat him like this if he abducted his daughter behind other people's parents' backs!

Fitzwilliam had also coveted Elizabeth since she was four years old, but he had never concealed it from her and Cecil, whether it was a detour or a side attack.And what does Wickham mean by this, afraid that they will not agree to marry their adopted daughter to him...or is he also being deceived?

Grace took a deep breath, and looked at Mr. Bennett with blue eyes: "Cecil, you know my limit. I will give you full responsibility for Delia."

She really didn't want to think too badly of the two children who had lived under the same roof with her for more than ten years. She was even more afraid of the cruel reality, so she chose to shrink back.Fortunately, she has a husband who understands her, loves her and tolerates her. Facing her willful demands, he still has that word.

"it is good."

****

The wedding of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is a bit grander than that of Jane and Bingley, after all, the identity of the man is different.Although the Darcy family does not have a title, their family has always had a place in the upper class, and the previous hostesses are all from noble daughters.Darcy's mother is the younger sister of the current Earl of Fitzwilliam, and his future wife is the daughter of Viscount Bennett.

Both Earl Fitzwilliam and Viscount Bennett are currently the top figures in the British Empire.

During the wedding ceremony, Bingley, who was sitting in the position of the bride's relatives in the church, held Jane's hand and smiled guiltily at her.It was all because of him that Jane, the eldest daughter, was inferior to Elizabeth.Jane replied with a gentle understanding smile. Although the ceremony is very important, what she values ​​more is Charles' heart.

No matter how grand the wedding is, no matter how many guests there are and how noble their identities are, if the husband and wife don't care about each other, then why bother to become husband and wife?Just like the oath before God, respect and love each other, no matter when you are poor or sick, you still support each other and never leave.

In this way, Jane wants an ideal marriage.

Her parents did, and now she and Charles are doing the same.

Scanning William and Delia in the back row and Wickham wearing a blue military uniform beside her, Jane's always gentle sea-blue eyes were a little more cloudy.For the two of them, she and Dylan have always regarded the people of the Bennett family, even though William seldom came to live in the Bennett house since he was an adult and went to college, they never changed their minds.

But it seems that they are too soft-hearted to make Grace so sad this time.Although Grace has already handed over this matter to Mr. Bennett, but they are sons and daughters, and they can't see the person who makes their mother sad so freely.

The children of the Bennet family have never been soft-hearted. They are all children of noble families. Even though Grace tried his best to avoid letting them come into contact with the darkness, Mr. Bennet would not do so.They can't avoid growing up. In order to make them suffer less, Mr. Bennett chooses to let them understand the darkness of society and master these darkness.

Whether it's Mr. Bennett or Grace's love, they can feel it.

So, in fact, it is not wrong for William and Lydia to choose to do this. After all, no matter how harmonious they seem to be, in fact, they have never integrated into the Bennett family!

But even if the circumstances are extenuating, Jane will still not forgive them, and I believe Dylan and the others will be the same.

The children of the Bennett family are united and protective.

It's a pity that William and Delia have completely lost the chance to become children of the Bennett family.What's even more pity is that they will probably never understand what they really lost.

Those things that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

The author has something to say: The Bennett family will not really do anything to William and Delia, after all, there are more than ten years of feelings there.

It's just that if they don't do anything, they will feel depressed, so they will do something appropriately.
