Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Hearing the conversation between them, one lady said almost resentfully.

"Oh, Mrs. Sean, I understand what you mean, but she is no longer what she used to be. Besides, everyone was single back then, but now, many people are married." Mrs. Lynn is a woman with a gentle appearance, speaking Also so gentle.

Mrs. Shawn groaned again, and then said: "That's not necessarily true, you must know, Mrs. Lynn, she hated the Marquess of Berne so much back then, she completely forgot that if the Marquis of Berne was not willing to marry her and take her away from London , she is already notorious by now."

"But she is still so rich. I heard that, of course, some people may not be aware of the facts. It is said that the Marquise's property is three or four times what it was back then."

"My God!" Someone joined the conversation again, and Charlotte didn't need to talk to them at the moment. Mrs. Lynn had already said, "I'm sorry, countess, you know, we all grew up together almost, The Marquis de Bourne received a dowry of [-] pounds from her father. This is why the Marquis de Bourne was willing to marry her later, because I heard that the manor of the Marquis de Bourne was less than [-] pounds a year. pound income."

Mrs. Lynn did not forget to explain the matter to Charlotte.

Louise was still smiling, she might have heard their conversation, she cast a provocative look, and then said something to the man sitting on the left, the man immediately seemed elated.

This man was Mr. Sean. Seeing this scene, Mrs. Sean had already clenched her wine glass tightly, and Charlotte had clearly heard her utter a low curse.

What is this Marquise de Berne going to do?Thinking of the scene this afternoon, Charlotte frowned slightly and drank the water in the glass.Suddenly a thought appeared in my mind, if one day, I don't know if it will be?

Then Charlotte shook her head, no, you can't think that way, the count will be very disappointed.Thinking of Charlotte, he glanced at her husband, Earl Max smiled back at Charlotte, that's all, don't think about anything, just wait for God's judgment.Charlotte patted her chest and continued to chat with the person next to her.

At the end of the dinner, except for a few guests who were far away from home, all the other guests left. The sound of the carriage continued until the last guest left. Charlotte felt her neck was a little sore, and stretched out her hands to press down on it.

Earl Max's hand had already been placed on her neck, and he gently massaged her: "Honey, you shouldn't be with me all the time."

"This is what a hostess should do." Charlotte's answer obviously pleased Earl Max, and he smiled more and more complacently.

"Of course I know that this is what the hostess should do, but now, my dear, you should go to rest, otherwise, the child in your stomach will protest." Earl Max's voice was very gentle, as if there had never been anything between them. Had so many disputes.

"Thank you, count, but I think that if-"

"Charlotte, you promised me that you just wait for God's judgment and don't mention those things!" Earl Max's face became a little serious, and Charlotte smiled covertly: "Sorry, I just..."

"Don't say anything, Charlotte. I just want you to know that I have a plan in mind." Earl Max said without doubt.This made Charlotte smile slightly, and then Earl Max put his arm around Charlotte's shoulders, intending to go back to the room with her.

When I went upstairs, I met Louise. She had already changed out of her daytime attire. Her jet-black satin-like hair was gently tied behind her head with a ribbon, giving her a unique look.

Seeing Countess Max and his wife, Louise smiled slightly and said, "Henry, I found that there are many different things in Max Manor. Did you make changes after I left?"

In order not to offend Charlotte with such an intimate tone, Earl Max has already said: "Charlotte, this is the Marchioness of Berne, we are friends who grew up together when we were young. She has been living in Europe since she got married. I didn't come back until last month."

"Then it turns out that things are not the same as people. Oh, no, Countess, I should say, even the things are not the same." Louise reached out to shake Charlotte's hand briskly, but the tone in the words , obviously speaking to Earl Max.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Marquise de Bonne, I've never seen a woman as beautiful as you!" What Charlotte said sounded like ordinary polite words to Louise, but her thick eyebrows were already raised Yiyang: "Then I hope I can have your good luck. Now, Henry, I will continue to see what is different about this manor from the original one."

After speaking, Louise walked down briskly.

Earl Max paid attention to her back before saying to Charlotte: "Louis is a woman who can easily be misunderstood, but she doesn't care too much."

"I heard that she finally married the Marquess of Berne because of entanglement with a married viscount, and then left England." Charlotte's words made Earl Max frowned slightly and said: "These words It can’t be said that it’s wrong, but it can’t be said that it’s right either. Charlotte, in many cases, we can’t just look at the surface.”

"I understand what you mean, count, so does it mean that she is not what everyone says?"

"You shouldn't make many mistakes when you are young. Unfortunately, Louise doesn't understand this." Earl Max's words were very vague, and Charlotte didn't ask any more questions. It was not until a long time after returning to the room that Earl Max suddenly said: "Charlotte, you have been asking about this, are you worried that I will fall in love with Louise, I admit, she is more attractive than before, but I..."

"Count, I should say that your guess is only half right." Charlotte replied in a brisk tone, and then looked at her husband: "The other half is that I am a little curious, how can such a beauty not be famous? ?”

When Earl Max was about to answer, he saw Charlotte yawn, so he stopped talking and patted Charlotte's hand: "Honey, you should rest, you shouldn't worry about these things."

Charlotte decided to let Earl Max go, and listen to his words to lie down and rest.

Louise did not leave the Max Manor the next day like other guests, but continued to live in the manor. People said that this was because Louise hated the Marquis of Berne's manor very much.The house in which Louise grew up has been handed over to her father's heirs.

Before Louise bought another house, only Max Manor was available for living.

"Mom, I heard that the Marchioness of Bonne is a very bad woman." Charlotte was teaching Little William to draw that day, and Little William suddenly said this.This made Charlotte look at her son in surprise, and then Charlotte smiled: "My dear, where did you hear it? You must know that as a gentleman, you can't say that about other ladies. "

"I'm sorry, Mom, I know I shouldn't talk like this, but I..." Little William looked around and said carefully: "I heard two maids whispering there when I walked back to the room through the corridor. Discussions, saying that the Marquise of Bourne is not willing to live in Bourne Manor when she comes back this time, she has been living in Max Manor and refused to leave, I am afraid that she wants to seduce the Earl."

"Are you worried? My dear?" Charlotte asked Little William, and Little William's little face wrinkled again, and then shook his head: "No, Mom, I'm not worried about anything, I just want to tell you that if there is One day, Earl Max really does not love you anymore as they said, so I will be by your side to accompany you. I will always love you, mother."

Charlotte had to admit that she was moved by Little William, she put her arms around her son: "Thank you, Little William, but you don't need to worry about this matter, you are only six years old now, you should be like other children, Have fun without worrying about studying every day.”

Little William looked at Charlotte with his blue eyes, and then smiled again: "Yes, mother, I agree. I agree with you. I love you, and I will always love you."

"I love you too, my child." Charlotte hugged little William tightly again, and just when she was about to let go, she heard Earl Max's voice: "It turns out that you two are not teaching painting, but teaching each other. Show your heart. Charlotte, and little William, I love you too. And it will never change."

Earl Max had walked into the studio at some point, leaning against the door and smiling at the mother and son, saying that the sun was just right at the moment, shining on his brows, making him look so heroic.

If Louise really fell into the trap of the Marquis of Bourne as Earl Max said, and was forced to marry the Marquis of Bourne after losing her reputation, then it is no wonder that after more than ten years, Bourne The Marquis died, and Louise returned to England. When she saw that everything was different, she wanted to do something to prove that she was not wrong.

"Why, do you think I'm particularly handsome, so you're dumbfounded?" Earl Max walked forward with a smile, and Charlotte hurriedly looked away: "No, it's not that I was dumbfounded, but now there are some rumors, and Little William has heard about them. "

Rumor?Earl Max smiled, with a bit of helplessness in his smile: "There are so many boring people. It seems that if they don't do this, they can't show that they are special. But my dear, I assure you, I am not just over 20 I know how to measure the stunned boy when I was [-] years old."

As Earl Max said, he bent down and looked at Little William: "Little William, tell me, am I such a person?"

Little William had already nodded solemnly, Earl Max smiled and opened his arms to Charlotte: "Look, even Little William believes in me, what's wrong with you?"
