Countess of Pride and Prejudice

"Leaving so many guests in Pemberley and they go out is really an extremely uneducated thing." After Madam Catherine said this, seeing that everyone was not responding, she immediately felt bored, but she still went upstairs to rest with her head held high.Only then did Georgiana breathe a sigh of relief, and when she looked up and saw Philip's sympathetic eyes towards her, Georgiana couldn't help but smiled and said that she didn't care.

"Aunt Catherine's temper really hasn't changed." Earl Max had already sat down, and then smiled at Georgiana: "But it's okay, after all, there are outsiders, otherwise, I remember one time when everyone didn't go out to greet her. Talked about me for three full days."

"Three days? Is that an exaggeration?" Sure enough, Georgiana's attention was attracted by the earl's words, and Earl Max nodded: "Of course it is true. But, Georgiana, you have to remember that you are no longer a child. No need to show fear in front of Aunt Catherine."

Despite the count's good intentions, Georgiana blushed slightly in front of her sweetheart, then lowered her head: "Yes, I know."

Earl Max smiled again: "Look at how well Henry protects you, Georgiana, a girl like you should be very proud and full of vitality."

"Miss Darcy is not without vitality, she is just too humble." Charlotte could see that Earl Max wanted to match Georgiana and Philip, or in other words, to fulfill Georgiana's wish, so at this time, help It's no big deal for Count Max to say something.

Charlotte's response was clearly beyond Earl Max's expectations. He looked at Charlotte, and then smiled: "Mrs. Collins, I didn't expect that at this moment, I could hear you understand what I meant."

"Count, isn't this a very common thing?" Charlotte said with a smile, took little William's hand and went upstairs, Earl Max looked at Charlotte: "So, Mrs. Collins, between you and me, is Can't we talk peacefully?"

Such an abrupt question made Charlotte frowned slightly, but she continued to walk upstairs without saying anything.In this way, this first step back is a good one.Earl Max grinned, and stepped forward to pat Philip on the shoulder: "It seems that before dinner, we can only play billiards to pass the time."

Of course, Philip walked to the billiard room, Caroline breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and saw Georgiana, Caroline couldn't help but blushed slightly: "I always have a kind of, you know, Madam Catherine, Sorry, I don't know what I'm talking about."

"Actually, I have more fear than respect for Aunt Catherine, but now I understand that I am no longer a child, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Georgiana's answer made Caroline blink, and the two looked at each other. With a smile, friendship seems stronger.

This dinner was extremely lively, and Lady Catherine sat at the main seat, talking about whether the snacks were delicious or not, and all the delicacies she had eaten when she was young.It's a pity that there is no one like Mr. Collins who can perceive her mood, and Lady Catherine will inevitably feel like singing a one-man show.

So when the soup was served, Lady Catherine looked at Charlotte, who was arranging the napkin for Little William, and said, "Little William is not as funny as Mr. Collins at all."

"Although Mr. Collins is very honored to be appreciated by you, Mrs. Catherine, I think little William can go another way. After all, as a gentleman, it is very common to be serious. For example, Mr. Darcy and Mr. Rochester." Xia Of course, Lotte was not the pastor's wife who obeyed Mrs. Catherine at Hunsford, and answered Mrs. Catherine neither soft nor hard.

This made Madam Catherine's face very ugly, and Earl Max smiled: "Auntie, Mrs. Collins is right. Gentlemen have different upbringings. It is so common."

Lady Catherine's eyes were already looking at Charlotte like blades. Charlotte didn't care, and left Rosings. In other words, she lacked a group of flatterers around her. This lady is no different from ordinary people.

"Auntie, didn't you say that Anne needs to walk in the woods every day? It's good for her body? I think, you can prepare a small two-wheeled carriage to accompany Anne to walk in the woods." To avoid Madame Catherine's anger, Georgiana She hastily opened her mouth to change the subject. For her, such a move was very unusual.

Lady Catherine's chin lifted again in that haughty manner, but she did not continue to mention Mr. Collins.Only then did Charlotte lower her head and talk to her son. Although Mr. Collins was the biological father of little William, Charlotte was not willing to let little William be influenced by Mr. Collins.

That kind of flattery and utter disregard for decency is no longer needed for Little William.At this moment, Charlotte felt the magic of money again.But even without the unexpected £[-] property, Charlotte felt that she would not have done such a flattering thing.

Charlotte, who was in deep thought, looked up and saw Earl Max smiling at her.Earl Max's smile at this moment is not as lofty as usual, but so clear that there is even a hint of warmth.

What the hell does he mean?Charlotte felt a little strange, but quickly lowered her head to talk to Little William. After all, falling in love was not in Charlotte's consideration.

After dinner, instead of playing the piano and singing like last night, Caroline sneaked back to the house in the name of writing a letter, so as not to be left here by Mrs. Catherine and continue to listen to her teachings.

"Mrs. Collins, your youngest sister is not as humble as that Miss Mary who went to Hansford." Such behavior immediately aroused Lady Catherine's dissatisfaction.

"Caroline does have a letter to write." Charlotte felt that her face was going to freeze with laughter, especially since she also wanted to turn around and leave instead of staying here to listen to the so-called teachings of the old lady.

"When can't the letter be written?" Lady Catherine was not persuaded.It was Anne's words that dissuaded Lady Catherine from going on.Miss Anne wants to play cards, but Caroline is not here, and the six people present cannot be divided into two tables.Charlotte took the opportunity to stand up: "Then, it's time for me to go and see Little William."

"Auntie, I suddenly remembered that I have a letter to write." Earl Max also left, which made Madam Catherine very dissatisfied. Georgiana hurriedly said, "Then, it happens to be four people. Auntie, let's start playing cards."

Lady Catherine began to play, despite Lady Catherine's displeasure, and Georgiana could only look apologetically at Philip for putting him in this uncomfortable position again.

Philip smiled slightly at Georgiana. After all, Philip himself was not the only one who suffered.Georgiana blushed again, and even made a mistake, summoning Lady Catherine's complaints.

Georgiana hurriedly restrained her mind and ordered herself to put all her emotions on playing cards. After all, when her brother came back tomorrow, Philip might leave soon, and it would be difficult to see him in the future.

After walking outside for a while, Charlotte felt that the cool breeze of the summer night had completely eliminated the irritability caused by Lady Catherine's words, so she planned to enter the house. When she stepped up the steps, she found Earl Max leaning against the pillar.

The night was very dark, and with the help of the light from the room, only the outline of Earl Max could be seen.He is indeed very beautiful, especially his eyes, so bright.She was beautiful, thought Charlotte, and had a good family background, so it was no wonder that she had developed such arrogance.However, this has nothing to do with Charlotte and does not intend to forgive the Earl for everything she did to Charlotte. Charlotte did not stop but intended to bypass Earl Max.

"Look, Mrs. Collins, those fireflies are so beautiful!" As Charlotte expected, Earl Max spoke, but what he said was such an insignificant matter, Charlotte couldn't help but look up in the direction of Earl Max's finger go.

Under the starlight, outside the woods, where the stream flows, there are indeed fireflies flying up and down there, looking very charming in the night.

"It's really beautiful." Charlotte came to a conclusion, and then she planned to continue entering the house. Earl Max had already smiled: "Look, Mrs. Collins, there are not so many differences between you and me."

"It is inevitable to have something in common." Charlotte's answer made Earl Max laugh again: "There are actually quite a lot of similarities between us. For example, you and I don't like Lady Catherine, and we both like to be alone .even……"

"Count, I understand what you mean, but let me tell you honestly, I don't have the energy or the mood to play any love games with you. For me, there are too many things to do, which don't include you."

"Does it also include leaving this body and returning to..." Earl Max didn't finish his sentence. Although the light in the room was not bright, Earl Max could still see the sadness on Charlotte's face.

This kind of sadness made Earl Max speechless for a moment, and then Earl Max continued: "Sorry, Mrs. Collins, I overstepped again, but I am very eager to know everything about you."

Charlotte wiped away the tears shed from the corners of her eyes with her hand, tried her best to breathe so that her throat would not be so choked, and then Charlotte said: "Count, for you, there has never been a real dilemma, so , and don’t understand.”

"I would like to express my sincere apologies to you again." This time Earl Max didn't say anything out of love, Charlotte shook her head to make the tears disappear completely, and then said to Earl Max: "I Accepting your apology, Earl, does not mean that I must accept anything else from you..."
