Countess of Pride and Prejudice

When I arrived at the restaurant, I didn't see Earl Max.Mr. Darcy has already spoken: "The earl has gone back, and before he left, he said that maybe he will leave England and go to the European continent for a while."

This is how the aristocrats handle it, to withdraw from society for a while after feeling offended.As Charlotte sat down, this thought passed through her mind, but she quickly lowered her eyes and paid no attention to anything.

The news that Earl Max had left England spread quickly. Of course, there were people who wanted to know who won the duel that day.But the people present at the time were very tight-lipped, so no one could know the news.

Although Charlotte tried her best to hide it, her depression inevitably affected little William, which made Sir William very worried. Just after Christmas, Sir William came to talk to Charlotte: "Charlotte, I think it is Didn't we put too much pressure on you that made you feel depressed after the duel?"

Such words made Charlotte almost startled, but she quickly smiled: "No, Dad, I just, I just don't know what to do in the future?" Don't know?Sir William frowned tightly, and then Sir William said: "Charlotte, that's not what you said a few days ago."

Why take the stress of all this on your own?Charlotte bit her lower lip tightly, wanting to scream and escape from all this, but Charlotte knew it was impossible.So Charlotte could only say to Sir William: "Father, I know, I understand."

"Charlotte, you are my most cherished child. I don't want you to have any mistakes, especially..." Sir William did not continue, but opened the door, and there was little William standing there, There is a blankness on the face that is different from that of adults.

"Charlotte, you still have a son. For little William, you can do nothing!" Sir William said meaningfully, and then Sir William said to Little William: "Promise me, you will protect mother! "Little William didn't know what protection meant, but he still said loudly: "Yes, I will protect my mother!"

This caused Charlotte's heart to be hit hard again, and she knew that her expression these days still hurt little William. "Mom, will you be the same as before?" Little William raised his head and asked Charlotte seriously.This was not Charlotte's intention.

Looking at little William's face at this moment, Charlotte nodded: "Yes, I will be the same as before." Such a statement made Sir William smile.

Charlotte took a deep breath, and in that case, be Mrs. Collins.

The Lucases took Catherine home with them, and Caroline, with Charlotte and her son, was going to Pemberley for the summer in March.Philip also left London to go home, and came to say goodbye to Charlotte before leaving.Looking at Philip who hesitated to speak, Charlotte could only express her apologies to him. Even though she knew that marrying this gentleman would lead a good life, Charlotte still did not want to marry him.Philip could only leave London with regret.

Time passed quickly after that, and the Charlotte sisters went to a few small balls, but Caroline only had Ivan in her heart, and they communicated frequently. Caroline quietly sent all the letters to him. Put it away and tie it with a pink ribbon.Charlotte pretended not to see her sister do this.

Soon as March came, the men and women in London began to leave separately.Charlotte also packed up, and took Sally to Pemberley, while Sarah and the cook stayed in London to look after the house.

Little William was also very happy to be able to leave London for a while. Along the way, he kept looking out of the car window, and he was completely different from little Henry who fell asleep in Georgiana's arms.

Although the road to Derbyshire was a bit muddy, everyone talked and laughed on the road, feeling that they had seen the beautiful woods of Pemberley just after eating on the road.

"How long does it take to go around this kind of woods?" Although she already knew the answer, Charlotte opened the car window and looked at the woods outside and asked with a smile.

"It takes ten miles to go around. Mrs. Collins, you can ride a pony and walk slowly." Georgiana was also very happy to be able to return to Pemberley. Girl, if you don't have a few failed love affairs, it's simply outrageous.From a certain point of view, Mr. Darcy did not object to his sister's several love affairs, as long as she did not want to elope with others.

Of course, it would be even better if you can get married as soon as you fall in love.While everyone sighed, the carriage stopped in front of the Pemberley Building.

This building is really beautiful.Even though she is used to all kinds of beautiful buildings, Charlotte is still awed by the beauty of the building in front of her. Standing in front of the building, she can see the beautiful woods not far away. No wonder Mr. Darcy will become half of Derbyshire The object of the girl's pursuit.

Charlotte looked round, and had to admit that Pemberley was more beautiful than she had imagined.

"Grandma Reynolds, this is Mrs. Collins. She, her son William Jr., and sister Caroline will stay with us for a summer." Elizabeth introduced Charlotte to Grandma Renault after talking with the housekeeper who came to greet her.

"Hello, Mrs. Collins, I've heard your name all the time. I hope you enjoy your stay here." Grandma Renault was indeed a very polite person, and she said neither humble nor humble after curtseying to Charlotte.

Thank you, Charlotte nodded to Grandma Renault, watching the maids move the luggage into the building.Elizabeth was taking off her cloak, when she saw Charlotte standing there looking at the beautiful scenery, she smiled and went to pull her: "Honey, you are going to live here for a summer, let's go in quickly, you don't know how much I am Miss the dim sum made by the cook at home."

"Yes, ma'am, Bell also said that if you are not here, no one will taste his snacks." Grandma Renault said without losing the opportunity. It seems that Elizabeth and the servants are getting along very well.Charlotte, judging from Grandma Renault's behavior, couldn't help but smile. This should be Elizabeth, that clever woman.

After resting a little in the drawing-room, Charlotte went back to her room to change.

As soon as she entered the room, Charlotte fell down on the bed, closed her eyes wearily, and perhaps allowed herself to rest here for a while.After all, the forest is so big, it is possible to find a place to hide so that no one can find it.

After the summer rest, let yourself continue being Mrs. Collins.Charlotte covered her eyes with the pillow and wept quietly.

There was already a knock on the door, Charlotte wiped away the tears from her eyes, sat up and said please come in, and it was Caroline who walked in, with a very happy look on her face: "My God, Charlotte, you don't know, What a beautiful view from my room."

"You don't want to empathize because of this beautiful scenery, do you?" Charlotte tried to make a smile on her face and joked with Caroline.Caroline stuck out her tongue: "My God, Charlotte, I'm not such a shallow person. No matter how good Mr. Darcy is, he belongs to Elizabeth, and I already have Ivan."

However, Caroline tilted her head slightly: "It's really a joy to be able to live here for three months. In these three months, maybe I will like fishing."

"Caroline, as I remember, you have never liked fishing very much." Charlotte's question made Caroline's face blush again: "No, my dear, I have always liked it."

"Caroline, you lied." Caroline covered her face with her hands, and quickly left Charlotte's room.

Charlotte looked at Caroline's back, sighed softly, and could no longer be in a daze.Charlotte stood up and hung the clothes in the closet. Looking at the clothes that were no longer dark, Charlotte covered her eyes with her hands, so let's do it and live hard.You can only indulge yourself to crash once in a while, not for a long time.

Charlotte took out a dress, changed her traveling clothes, combed her hair afresh, powdered her eyes to cover up the tears, and went to the next door.Little William was sitting obediently by the window and looking out. When he saw Charlotte walking in, Little William jumped off the chair and said, "Mom!"

"Honey, haven't you changed your clothes yet?" Charlotte looked at her son's unchanged clothes and tried to cheer up her voice.

"Mom, I was wondering if there would be monsters in the woods?" Charlotte listened to her son's words and patted his head: "This is not a dark forest, of course there won't be any."

"Then mother, will you take me to play in the woods?" Little William took the opportunity to ask, which made the smile on Charlotte's face freeze, and then Charlotte smiled: "Of course, of course, my dear, maybe , we can also go hide and seek."

"Oh, Mrs. Collins, the woods are too big, and playing hide-and-seek is inappropriate!" Pemberley's maid, who was ordered to deliver things to Charlotte and her son, happened to hear what Charlotte said, so she smiled and explained to Charlotte.

"Look, little William, we still need to find a suitable place for hide-and-seek. Then, I can only play with you in the house and build blocks." Charlotte said affectionately to her son, and Little William nodded his head: "Then, I can also learn to paint with you."

What a lovely child, Charlotte touched Little William's little head, took his hand and walked downstairs, let this time be happier.Now, that's all.

The woods of Pemberley were soon visited by Charlotte and her son, and Caroline, as she said, began to learn to fish there.Sure enough, Georgiana sang and played the piano all day long. Naturally, the Darcys had their entertainment, and of course they held several garden parties, but Charlotte did not participate in several entertainments. What she likes now is to find a few friends in the woods Some people go to the corner and read a book quietly there.
