Darcy was surprised and recovered from his official duties. After hearing Anxi's words, he put down his pen and asked him to sit down.

Anxi closed the door of the study smoothly, then walked to sit opposite Darcy.

"I just heard some dirty plans in the back garden. Although eavesdropping is not a gentleman's behavior, but since I heard Miss Darcy's name and it came from a man, I couldn't help listening for a while .”

Seeing that his sister was mentioned, Darcy immediately cheered up and looked at Anxi with a serious face.

Without making him wait any longer, Anxi directly opened his mouth to repeat what he had heard.

The more Darcy heard it, the more ugly his face became. When he thought that his sister would lose her innocent reputation because of other people's calculations, she couldn't help but want to rush out and beat them up, "It's Wickham and Miss Button. ?”

"Yes" as soon as he finished speaking, Anxi saw Darcy walking out, and hurriedly grabbed him, "Calm down, Darcy, it hasn't happened yet!"

Darcy turned his head with red eyes, and seeing Anxi's calm face, his rationality slowly returned.Yes, calm down now, don't make trouble, and don't let outsiders know.

This matter had to be handled quietly, otherwise, even if Anna was not harmed, outsiders would still discuss it in private.

Darcy, who is well aware of the inferiority of human beings, deeply understands that whether this matter succeeds or not, it is a blow to his sister Anna.

There are always some jealous people who will use this to attack my sister's reputation, so no matter what, outsiders should not know about this matter.

Thinking of this, he said gratefully to Anxi, "Thank you, Anxi, you are the best friend of the Darcy family."

Anxi waved his hand, "Go and deal with this matter."

Darcy nodded, didn't say anything more, and strode out directly.

I don't know what arrangement Darcy has made, anyway, everything is normal for breakfast, and the trip after breakfast is also normal.

It's just that Mrs. Reynolds arranged for many servants to follow her when she went out.

Anna was a little surprised. She looked at the long line of people curiously, and couldn't help asking, "Mrs. Reynolds, why are there so many people?"

Mrs. Reynolds showed kindness on her face, "Sir, I told you that this is your first time entertaining guests, so you must be ready anyway, they all have food in their hands, and when you get tired from painting, you and Miss Bingley will return You can have a picnic."

Knowing that Mr. Darcy valued her so much, Miss Bingley was so happy that she didn't know what to do. She exclaimed, "Mr. Darcy is so caring, Mr. Darcy is really a good brother who loves his sister. Mrs. Reynolds, replace me Thank you Mr. Darcy for your hospitality."

Seeing Caroline so happy, Anna let go of her doubts.

It's probably the elder brother who sees him entertaining guests for the first time, don't worry!

My brother is so kind to me.

The two set off happily, followed by a line of servants who helped carry various things.

Seeing this scene, Miss Button had a bad feeling in her heart, but Wickham set off for a nearby town early in the morning in order to avoid suspicion, and she couldn't tell him to change his mind.

Thinking of her lover's plan, she had mixed feelings in her heart. She was afraid that too many people would hinder the implementation of the plan, and she was also afraid that Wickham would abandon herself after he got his wish.

But thinking of the child in her stomach, she made up her mind.

Even if Wickham changed his mind, he still wouldn't want his own child, right?

Miss Button had complicated thoughts, but she still followed Miss Green and accompanied the two distinguished ladies to go out.

The ladies all went out, and the gentlemen also separated. Before leaving, Anxi glanced at Darcy.

Darcy nodded to him with a calm expression, obviously it had been arranged and nothing would happen to his sister.

In this case, there is no need for Anxi to worry. He went to the library, intending to find a book to read to kill the morning time.

Darcy's library is very large, like a small library, with rich contents.Darcy's family is happy to collect all kinds of books, as long as they are not dirty, they can basically be found here.

Anxi looked through, and there are also popular Gothic novels of this era. Although there are not many of them, they are all classics.

Anxi doesn't like to read these, but it's interesting to look through them once in a while.

To be honest, no matter what age, human beings have extremely rich imaginations, but they will be limited to the framework due to the problem of knowledge, but this does not prevent them from letting their minds fly.

Anxi flipped through a Gothic novel, and was choked by the author's curious description, and also curious about what other strange ideas he would have.

The time passed while Anxi was reading, and it was ten minutes for lunch. Mrs. Reynolds saw that Anxi did not go down for lunch, and asked someone to ask if the food should be brought to the study.

"Did everyone else go to the restaurant?" Anxi asked.

The maid shook her head, "Mr. Darcy is out, and everyone else is eating in their rooms."

"Then you serve it to me." In this case, Anxi didn't bother to go down.

The lunch brought by the maid was rich, roast meat, soup, mashed potatoes and apple pie.It may be because I know that Anxi doesn't like to add too much spice, except for barbecue, everything else is relatively normal.

Anxi finished the food and continued to stay in the study, this time reading the newspaper instead.

Darcy's family has collected all the newspapers, whether they are regular or some gossip tabloids, they are available regularly.

When Anxi saw the huge number of newspapers, he couldn't help but praise Darcy in his heart. Newspapers are extremely popular these days, and most people throw them away after reading them. No one really bothered to collect them.

Randomly picked up a Times with the highest sales volume, sat down at the desk, and read it seriously.

He spent the whole afternoon reading newspapers in Anxi. Of course, he not only read, but occasionally wrote down some content on paper.

Since you can’t read it in vain, from the newspapers, you can get the fastest and most comprehensive understanding of the current UK, whether it is on the surface or secretly.

When the sun was setting, Mr. Darcy came back, and Anna and his party came back with him. Obviously, he stopped by to pick up his sister and the others.

As soon as they came back, they went back to their rooms to rest. After playing all day today, the delicate ladies urgently need to lie down for a while. In addition, they also need to change their clothes and prepare for the evening dinner.

Darcy did not go back to his room, but under the guidance of his servants, he found Anxi in the study.

"Is it over, Darcy?" Anxi asked with a tired face when he saw him come in.

"Not yet. Wickham's feet are temporarily blocked in London. After a while, he will board the ship to South Africa. As for the two gangsters, I have already dealt with them. Miss Button is left."

There was a gleam of coldness in Darcy's eyes, and a tinge of rejoicing.Thinking of the plan drawn up by those two gangsters, he couldn't help being furious.

Wickham actually asked them to insult Anna, only asking not to do the last step.

When Anna was insulted, Wickham would propose to marry her. At that time, for the sake of his sister's life, even if he didn't like Wickham, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

In this way, Wickham could not only get all of Anna's dowry, but he had to provide him with funds again and again to ensure Anna's life.

"It's a good thing you heard about their shameful plan, otherwise, Anna..." Darcy's voice was filled with fear and deep gratitude to Anxi.

"That Miss Barton, what are you going to do?" Anxi interrupted him, since it didn't happen, there is no need to worry about it.

"She will be sent to the monastery with dishonorable charges, and she will stay there for the rest of her life and cannot come out." Darcy does not allow any insider to appear in the place where Anna may stay.

"Darcy, that Miss Barton might be pregnant?" Anxi didn't know what kind of place Darcy was talking about the monastery, but it should be similar to a prison.In short, life will not be easy for those who are sent there.

Anxi didn't have any sympathy for the woman Barton, but he also knew that Darcy was such an upright and kind gentleman. If his rough methods caused the woman to have an accidental miscarriage, Darcy would definitely feel guilty.

That's why Anxi reminded him to be careful when asking him to send someone away.

There was a trace of astonishment in Darcy's eyes, and then he became even more angry.

pregnant?

What does this mean?It means that the two have been hooking up for a long time, but I haven't noticed it at all.

Thinking of the time before, he still gave Anna to that woman to teach, and Darcy wished to give himself two slaps, such a disreputable woman, what qualifications did she have to teach Miss Darcy's family.

Unfortunately, no amount of anger can make up for previous negligence.

Fortunately, things haven't happened yet, and everything is still too late.

However, the woman must be sent away immediately.

Thinking of this, Darcy couldn't sit still, greeted Anxi and left.

That night, neither Wickham nor Miss Button appeared at the dinner table. Wickham hadn't returned yet, and Miss Button was said to be tired and a little unwell, so she ate in her room.

Neither of them was an important person, except for Anna who asked a question in worry, the others didn't take it to heart.

The next morning, Miss Barton came to say goodbye with a pale face.

Anna was very surprised, "Is something wrong? Why do you suddenly want to resign and leave? Miss Button, if you need help, you must tell me, and I will let my brother help you."

Miss Barton shuddered all over, thinking of the terrible man last night, she was terrified in her heart.

"It's my fiancé. He's sick and I hope I can take care of him. Besides, when he recovers, we're going to get married, so we resigned."

"Really? Miss Barton, I've never heard you mention who is your fiancé and when did you get engaged?" Anna and Miss Green were extremely surprised. They have lived with Miss Barton for so long and have never Didn't know she also had a fiancé who was secretly engaged.

"It's Mr. Young. His conditions are not very good, so we planned to save a little more money before getting married. We didn't expect to encounter such an accident."

Speaking of this, afraid that Anna and the others would not believe it, they hurriedly said, "But it also makes us feel the impermanence of life, and we desperately want to live together."

"Well then, Miss Button, I wish you a happy new life." Anna was very reluctant, but she couldn't stop the tutor from leaving.

Thinking of the possible miserable life in the future, Miss Button wanted to intercede several times, asking the kind Miss Darcy to help her, but she finally dared not speak when she touched Mr. Darcy's cold eyes.

Sitting in the carriage, looking at the beautiful manor that was getting farther and farther away, Miss Barton's heart was filled with endless remorse and a trace of obscure hatred.
