Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Earl Max's words made Charlotte slightly stunned: "Do you want to know Margaret?"

"Yes, I hope that my wife, both the past and the future, can be known to me." Earl Max said without hesitation.Charlotte couldn't help blinking: "Very beautiful and young, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen in love with my father at first sight. When I was born, my great-grandmother passed away, but my maternal great-grandmother was still there. She once told me that my Mother, looks very much like my grandmother when she was young."

"It sounds like your family is a very harmonious family." Earl Max had heard countless people say this, so he came to such a judgment.

"Yes, very, very amicable. Grandmother is the Mistress of the Chambers, yes..." Then Charlotte paused. "I'm sorry, Count, but I can't go on."

The original intention has been seen through, and Earl Max still smiled handsomely: "It's okay, dear, of course you don't have to talk about it. Your sword skills, some of your words, were you taught by your grandmother or your mother?"

"No, it was my grandfather. My grandfather liked me very much. He said that I looked exactly like my grandmother when she was young. He also said that I should give me all the things that my grandmother couldn't get when she was young, so that the whole of Britain, no, even the whole of England Europe is envious..."

I envy Miss Margaret of the Marquess of Lancaster, she should shine throughout Europe, and become a girl that everyone will admire when talking about it, no matter when and where.But now, everything is gone.

Earl Max held Charlotte's hand tightly: "I understand, Charlotte, if, one day, I will bless you." Charlotte looked deeply at Earl Max: "Thank you."

Saying that Charlotte had already wrapped the shawl: "Let's go into the house quickly, it will be a little cold after the sun sets in April." Earl Max didn't move but stood there: "Promise me, Xia Lotte, you won't steal a place to cry any more."

This refers to the day when Charlotte locked herself in the small sitting room. A few days later, when Mrs. Lucas mentioned it, Charlotte knew that the Earl was very flustered when he couldn't find him in the house.

"He must have loved you badly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have told us, and he wasn't allowed to tell you about it." Mrs. Lucas said happily at that time.

Charlotte couldn't help smiling at the earl: "Yes, I won't find another place to hide and cry secretly." The smile in Charlotte's eyes became stronger and stronger, and she must do it, no matter what choice God makes , can't panic and be reluctant to part with either side.

Earl Max put his arms around Charlotte's shoulders, and walked back to the house with her. Although the sun had already set, it was not yet completely dark, and their shadows were cast on the grass, dragging a very long, long way.

The day after Mrs. Lucas left, Mrs. Alisa returned to Marks Manor and brought back Elizabeth's letter.Elizabeth's letter was as cheerful as ever, and said that she hoped that Charlotte would be godmother to her second child, the second child of Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, who was due to be born in May.

Charlotte wrote to Elizabeth, expressing her great pleasure at this invitation.After the letter was sent, I received a reply soon. It was already April, and the neighbors around had rushed back from various places, and the atmosphere of summer began to permeate.

Count Max's long-planned hunting event also began on a bright day in April.Before the hunting party, the invited gentlemen and ladies came to Max Manor one after another.

Charlotte was no stranger to such hunting activities, and as for such reception, she was very relaxed.So it was unanimously praised by everyone. Countess Max is a very educated and very good mistress.

Charlotte was pregnant, so of course she couldn't participate in hunting activities. She could only sit on the grass with Mrs. Alisa and a few of her old friends when everyone went hunting, waiting for everyone to return.

"Ah, Alisa, I remember that you and your husband met at a hunting party, and then you started dating. It's been almost 40 years now, right?"

The elderly will start to be nostalgic when they get old, and Mrs. Alyssa and her old friends are of course no exception: "Yes, it has been exactly 40 years since I was only 17 years old. At the hunting party."

Speaking of Mrs. Alisa, the smile on her lips became wider, and the old lady who was talking to Alisa smiled and said: "If you want me to say, this is the most common social activity, and you should look for a wife like this. "

After making the decision, Charlotte felt relaxed, so not only did she eat more than usual, but she was also more sleepy than usual. At the moment, she was drowsy next to her. When she heard what the old lady said, she felt like she was saying myself, but because I was too sleepy, I didn't want to think about it.

"Ella, bring another cushion to Countess Max." Mrs. Alyssa gave orders there, and after the maid left, Mrs. Alyssa said to her old friend: "In my opinion, no matter what As long as the way of understanding is a serious place, it’s fine.”

These words are obviously defending Charlotte, coupled with Mrs. Alisa's performance just now, her old friend immediately shut up. Although he is a little dissatisfied with this matter, he still needs to follow the wind instead of looking after himself. I can't stop talking, because it is too wrong to offend an old friend because of such a little thing.

After Madam Alisa finished speaking, she looked at Charlotte. Seeing that Charlotte had fallen asleep, she couldn't help smiling, and talked about other things with her old friends.

"Ah, Mom, although I didn't hunt a fox, I did hunt a rabbit." Charlotte was about to open her eyes when she heard the sound of horseshoes, but Little William could not wait to throw herself into her arms and said own credit.

"Little William is a very good little rider, but he also relies on the earl's help, am I right? Little William?" A sorrel horse approached them, and the female rider on the horse did not dismount, but just bent down and asked With little William.

Charlotte just woke up, still a little dazed, looked up at the female rider, her first impression was that she was born beautiful, although she seemed to be not too young, she must be in her thirties, but She has a slim body, and her waist is so thin that it seems that her waist can be broken with a slight bend.

"Louis, are you upset because you lost?" Earl Max jumped off his horse after approaching, greeted the old ladies first, and then smiled at Louise on the horse with his hands on his hips.

"I'm not unhappy, it's just obvious, Earl Max, that you have given too much care to your step-son. Of course, as your good friend, I want to congratulate you, Earl Max, that you can finally appreciate how much you can do. Father's feelings."

These words were full of sarcasm, no matter how dull Charlotte was, she could feel that this Louise seemed to have other thoughts about Earl Max.It seems that Earl Max has caused more than one disaster.But Charlotte decided to play deaf and dumb, which is what a husband is supposed to do after all.

Sure enough, Earl Max smiled: "Of course, Louise, thank you for your congratulations. I like Little William very much. Little William also likes me very much. Little William, don't you think so?"

Little William could only detect some subtleties between them, but in any case, following Earl Max's words was an instinct, so Little William nodded heavily.

This caused some dissatisfaction to appear on Louise's face, and then she said to Charlotte: "Then, congratulations to you too, Countess Max, you have found a very good stepfather for your son."

"Thank you very much for your congratulations." Charlotte bowed her head and talked to Little William after saying such a dry, emotionless sentence.Seeing that the discussion was boring, Louise looked at Charlotte again, and then urged the horse to go to the stables.

At this moment, the hunters came back one after another. Some were showing off their prey, and some were greeting each other. The scene was suddenly chaotic. Of course, some congratulated Little William, because he was very brave today.This made Little William's face flush with excitement.So Charlotte didn't ask about Louise any more.

After the hunting meeting ended, a dinner party was held as usual, and everyone also changed their hunting clothes and put on formal dresses to attend.The master's house is no exception, Charlotte felt that she dressed up like a Christmas tree.

Smiling and greeting are essential. Louise also attended the dinner party, and she had a dazzling beauty when she put on an evening dress.

"It's really strange, why haven't I seen such a beauty in London?" Charlotte asked softly to a neighbor next to her. She's been in Europe."

That's the way it is, but it sounds like this Louise doesn't have a good impression among the neighbors. Sure enough, the lady continued: "You have to know, such a beauty will inevitably be chased by everyone. Back then, this beauty, 16 The boys of the county were fascinated by her when she was young, and after she had an audience with His Majesty, she caused a whirlwind in London."

Looking at Louise, who was talking and laughing happily with the men, Charlotte had no doubt that this beauty could cause such a commotion.

"However, the good times don't last very long. It is said that this lady has an affair with a certain viscount. That viscount has a wife." It's good to be attractive, but it's good to have a relationship with someone who has a family. , that would be a big scandal.

Charlotte looked at Louise, who was smiling at a man next to him, who dropped all the chicken nuggets from the fork on his body in amazement.

"Oh, Mrs. Lynn, don't you sigh for her. Look at her posing like that. I'll bet she'll be married in another three months."
