Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Seeing his sister like this, Mr. Darcy stretched out his hand to hug his sister: "My dear, you have grown up for a long time. If you think that Mr. Rochester is enough to entrust you with your life, then I will bless you."

"Thank you, brother." Georgiana took several deep breaths, and then looked at Elizabeth: "So, Elizabeth, I will not be rude if I go on like this?"

"Of course I won't be rude, Georgiana, you are beautiful, you have always been the most beautiful girl in Derbyshire." Elizabeth's comfort made Georgiana relax, she walked out of the door, came to the stairs, and walked down step by step .

Philip stood there, watching Georgiana come towards him.

Georgiana had changed from her splendid attire for today's garden party, only wearing an ivory white dress and a dragonfly brooch.Philip watched Georgiana walking towards him, and his eyes gradually brightened.She was a completely different girl, unlike anyone else.Such light was seen by Georgiana, and Georgiana's face couldn't help turning slightly red.

Mr. Darcy watched his sister's face gradually turn red, and his brows began to frown. He didn't think Philip was bad, but he felt that a person who had experienced too much like this was not something his simple sister could handle.

"Georgianna!" Mr. Darcy stepped forward to stop his sister, Georgiana withdrew her gaze from Philip, her footsteps became a little heavy, and she stopped in front of Philip: "Mr. Rochester, what do you want to talk to me about? "

It is best to have only two people present in such a conversation, but Philip looked at the Darcys and Earl Max, knowing that they would not retreat, so Philip still said seriously: "Miss Darcy, first of all, I want to apologize to you."

"I accept your apology, Mr. Rochester." Georgiana worked hard for a long time to make her voice sound normal. If it's just an apology, what's the point of him solemnly inviting himself here?

"Secondly, I want to tell you that I propose to you not out of impulse or insult to you, or even your brother, Mr. Darcy, thinks that I can marry anyone. It is because, nor I know when you started to attract me, your every frown and smile affect me. If this is not love, then I don't know what can be called love. "

Philip's words brought joy to Georgiana's face, and Mr. Darcy frowned even tighter. He wanted to interrupt Philip's words, but was stopped by Elizabeth's eyes.

Could it be that his sister was moved to marry like this?Thinking of this, Mr. Darcy began to feel a little disappointed.

After Philip finished speaking, he looked at Georgiana. The joy on Georgiana's face could not be deceived.Could it be that Georgiana also loves herself?Thinking of this possibility, Philip didn't know why he had such good luck, but he still lost no time in saying: "If you are willing, Miss Darcy, then I solemnly propose to you again. And I would like to express my sincere gratitude to your brother and Your cousin promises to keep you happy throughout my life."

Georgiana put her hands to her face to keep the tears of joy from falling.Mr. Darcy's frown became tighter. It seems that Georgiana has fallen in love with Philip. Since when?Mr. Darcy looked at Elizabeth, and Elizabeth said softly: "Honey, let me explain this to you later."

Yes, the immediate matter now was to see whether Georgiana agreed to marry Philip.Mr. Darcy looked at his sister. Although he was very reluctant to let his sister marry, Mr. Darcy knew that his sister was no longer a child.

"Philip and I have known each other for many years, and I can guarantee his character. It can even be said that if Philip is willing, he can have illegitimate children in major European cities, but as far as I know, Philip has never done so." Earl Max spoke again to assure Mr. Darcy for Philip.

Mr. Darcy turned a deaf ear, he just looked at his sister who was still excited: "Georgianna, can you tell me, do you love him?" Georgiana let go of her hand, and the tears on her face could be clearly seen, and then Georgiana Looking at Philip, Philip still looked at Georgiana intently, and Georgiana's face turned red with just one glance.

Then Georgiana nodded to her elder brother: "Yes, brother, I love him, maybe, I fell in love with him a long time ago, but I just didn't dare to say it."

Georgiana loves herself?Philip looked at Georgiana almost in disbelief. Georgiana smiled brightly at Philip before turning to Mr. Darcy: "Then brother, if you allow me, I hope you agree to Mr. Rochester's marriage proposal."

"Georgianna, you need to know that marriage is not just about love." Mr. Darcy reminded his sister again, and Georgiana nodded: "Yes, I know. But it is better to marry someone I love than to marry someone who loves you." A man whom I do not love is well. If you will allow me, brother."

Mr. Darcy remained silent, and Philip knew it would take time.Elizabeth said: "Georgianna, you have to know that after you get engaged to someone, you are no longer a child."

"I understand!" Georgiana still had only this sentence, and she still looked eagerly at Mr. Darcy: "Of course, if you don't allow it, brother, then I won't blame you, because I know that everything you do The decision is for my own good."

"Georgianna, what do you want me to say?" Mr. Darcy embraced his sister with open arms, and then said to Philip: "Mr. Rochester, I am grateful to you for proposing to my sister. I should not refuse such a thing."

Philip was immediately disappointed, and Georgiana's face also changed, but Mr. Darcy continued: "Of course, I know that breaking up a couple who love each other is something that God does not allow. So, Mr. Rochester, If you really want to marry your sister, you really love her. I hope you can think about it again. I know that you and the earl will be away on business soon. If, after this matter is over, your love for my sister is not fade, then come to Pemberley, and I will promise to marry you Georgiana."

This was already the biggest concession Darcy could make, and Earl Max breathed a sigh of relief.Georgiana, accustomed to obey her brother, did not say a word about it.Philip also smiled: "I understand your concerns, Mr. Darcy, then, I will return to Pemberley again in three months."

This matter has now come to an end, Mr. Darcy nodded: "It's very late, Mr. Rochester, you and the Earl will be on their way early tomorrow morning, please go back to your room and rest."

Philip bowed again to Mr. Darcy's family and went away; Georgiana made a step forward, and then stopped.Darcy looked at his sister, and then at his wife: "Perhaps now you can explain, Elizabeth."

Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, Georgiana spoke first: "Brother, you don't need to blame Elizabeth. She and I asked not to tell you. Brother, I am no longer the Georgiana I was when I was 15 years old."

There was something in Georgiana's words, which made Darcy look deeply at his sister, yes, almost seven years have passed since that incident.In the past seven years, the Darcy brothers and sisters have never communicated about this matter.At this time, Georgiana mentioned this matter to let Darcy know that her sister is no longer a child.

"Georgianna, I'm very glad that you can tell me this, but you have to know, as an elder brother, I feel both happy and sad when I hear your words." For Georgiana, the elder brother is more like It was the father, so Georgiana nodded: "Yes, brother, I know what you mean. But, you already have Elizabeth. And I am no longer so ignorant."

"Come here, Georgiana." Georgiana obediently walked to her brother, Mr. Darcy hugged his sister again, and when he let go, Mr. Darcy tried to ignore the moisture in his eyes: "So, Georgiana, can I rest assured? "

"Yes!" Georgiana looked at her brother and assured her again.Mr. Darcy patted his sister on the shoulder: "Then, Georgiana, promise me not to write to him until his next visit to Pemberley."

This strange request made Georgiana look at her brother in surprise, but soon Georgiana nodded: "I will, brother." That being the case, there is nothing else tonight.Seeing Georgiana go upstairs, Darcy just wiped his face, and Elizabeth has already reached out and grabbed her husband's sleeve: "I know how you feel at this moment."

Yes, Mr. Darcy nodded, but soon Mr. Darcy said: "Fortunately, you are with me, Elizabeth."

"You won't blame me and Georgiana for hiding this from you?" Elizabeth's question made Darcy laugh: "Of course not, I can't treat Georgiana as a child anymore."

Earl Max and Philip left Pemberley Park early next morning, while the others were still asleep.Georgiana watched them go from the window and began to pray for a reunion in months to come.

With regard to the matter, now that one of the parties involved was gone, and the Darcys were tight-lipped people, it was impossible for Mrs. Bennet to find out anything about it.

When it was time to eat lunch, Miss Bingley and Mr. Wilson also came to say goodbye. Their wedding was just a few days away, and they were going to Europe on the day of the wedding.

When Miss Bingley and Georgiana were saying goodbye, the sound of horseshoes came to her ears, and then someone asked, "Is Earl Max still alive? I received a letter from him and came from Wales."
