aristocratic engagement

Down the steps, Darcy and Alan fought fiercely, punching to the flesh. The two gentlemen and refined men on weekdays completely ignored their image at this time.

Maybe Allen retained his strength when he grabbed Anne's neck, but now, his eyes are full of wolf-like sternness when he looks at Darcy. Annie has known him for nearly eight years, and has never seen such a gaffe from him. .

Darcy didn't lose the wind at all, every punch and dodge of him was just right, his movements were smooth, and he even had some soldier's sharpness.

Annie's neck was loosened, and when she inhaled the air, she felt a faint tingling and itching in her throat. She couldn't help leaning on the wall, squatted down slowly, and coughed heavily.

She didn't want to act like a delicate flower being fought over by two men, yelling the nonsense of "stop hitting, stop hitting" in a panic and powerless.Watching the battle situation from the sidelines, it is obvious that Darcy is gradually gaining the upper hand. After all, Allen is a gentle man who has always been personable in social situations.

The two were fighting in the narrow space, knocking the boxes piled up next to them to the ground, making a loud noise.Footsteps came from inside the door, and Lawrence also rushed out.

"Why..." He was asking, when he saw Annie shaking her head vigorously, she stopped talking, jumped down the stairs, and joined the battle.

At this time, Darcy pushed Alan down on the fence with a heavy push, and the iron fence made creaking groans.Allen wanted to throw a punch, but Lawrence caught it, and Darcy escaped.

Darcy no longer looked at Alan, and strode to Anne's side.He tore off the precarious overcoat, covered Annie's head, blocked her sight, and held her firmly in his arms.

"Don't be afraid." He patted Annie's shoulder reassuringly.

Annie shook her head and whispered "Thank you."

After Darcy appeared, the uneasiness of being restrained and unable to breathe dissipated, and Annie quickly recovered from her panic. She watched with cold eyes, and countless times spent with Allen flashed through her mind.It's hard to believe that her best partner and most trusted friend would make such a move.

Anne is not ignorant of his feelings, and even, when she first sensed Mrs. Edgerton's contemptible intentions, she took advantage of this relationship in a vengeful way-you don't want to swallow me and Rosings Manor All property?Then I will ask you to ask for trouble!

Because she never felt that feelings could change the sober and ambitious Allen so beyond recognition.

Anne suffered badly - because of her arrogance about feelings.

She was utterly sober, and as a result she became utterly confused.

After Annie let out a long breath, she found that the hands and arms of the person hugging her seemed to be trembling slightly.Anne struggled slightly to break free, and Darcy let go calmly after sensing the strength.The black overcoat slipped from Annie's head, she reached out to catch it and wrapped it tightly around her body.

Annie's eyes stayed on Darcy's arm for a moment, and then she realized something was wrong: "Your arm...was hurt?" Annie was startled by her hoarse voice, but her attention quickly shifted to Darcy's arm. Xi's body, his knuckles were scratched, and there were red marks on his face.

Darcy just shook his head.

"You're trembling! Don't be brave, you've strained yourself. I'll send someone to find a doctor!" Annie immediately reacted, leaning on the wall to stand up slowly, but she only made half of her movements, and her whole body was enveloped Living.

"It's okay, I didn't strain it, it's just that I haven't played like this for a long time, and my muscles are a little excited." Darcy paused, and suddenly let go of Anne's uncontrollable arm, "However, I really need to ask a doctor to see Look, you've got livid choke marks on your neck—the bastard!"

After Darcy gritted his teeth, he held Annie's shoulders tightly with both hands, and pushed her back into the house as he walked.

Annie staggered a little from being pushed, but he held her in time and pressed her against his chest.

The door was slowly closed, Anne couldn't help but glance back, Lawrence completely gained the upper hand, and almost unilaterally beat him—Alan showed no resistance, and his eyes kept falling on Anne.

When he found Annie looking back at him, he slowly smiled and said silently:

"I love you."

"My God! What the hell is going on here! What have you done, Anne! Your neck! Good God, Dolly? Dolly! Go and get the doctor!" Lady Catherine was, as expected, discomfited. Annie almost lost control. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to do. She wanted to check Annie's situation, but she was afraid that she would hurt her.

Du Li ran downstairs—just now she was packing her things in the upstairs room—when she saw Anne's miserable condition, she ran outside without saying a word.

Fenrir's roar suddenly sounded, and the servant hurried to the porter's room to have a look, not knowing when it was locked inside.

Mrs. Fitzwilliam immediately asked for the freshly packed medicine box to be taken out. Georgiana sat beside Anne, watching her eyes turn red from the finger marks on her neck. It was tragic, and suddenly, Georgiana burst into tears.

The medicine box was brought over, and Mrs. Catherine made a gesture to apply medicine to Darcy, but Georgiana choked up and insisted on taking the cotton and medicine.

Darcy was a little helpless, but he let them play with him - he would not say that Georgiana's movements were unskilled, but it made him suffer.He never took such small injuries to heart, even if he had not experienced all kinds of dangers during his travels, as a gentleman who loves hunting, it is common for him to suffer some small injuries.

While Georgiana was cleaning Darcy's wound and wiping the potion, Lawrence walked in while putting down his rolled-up sleeves.

"Oh...my dear, are you not injured?" Mrs. Fitzwilliam immediately went up to her, checking back and forth.

Lawrence shook his head: "Alan Egerton was beaten by me without any resistance."

"Then why did he fight with his brother like this!" Georgiana bit her lip and put away her tools.

Lawrence didn't answer, just glanced at Darcy, sneered and shook his head.

Darcy raised his eyebrows, but he didn't speak—Alan Egerton knew who his enemy was.

"Queer man, he used to be so handsome. The ladies say, if he had any heir, he would be one of the most popular young gentlemen in London..."

"What a mistake! Ha, he has such a mother, so it's not surprising that he would do such a thing!" Mrs. Catherine said sarcastically, "I must come to ask for an explanation! I can't control him as a man, but his mother She still has to hang out in social situations! She has to worry about her eldest son's marriage every year, and I want to spread the story of her son's madness, so she won't be able to do so at least this year!"

"aunt!"

"mom!"

Darcy and Anne cried out at the same time.

Darcy glanced at Anne who was silent, and said: "You do this, isn't it just in line with the wishes of this little Mr. Edgerton! Her little son is for Anne... Mrs. Edgerton is eager to spread this matter .”

"I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!" Annie said while stroking her still-stinging neck, "He wants me not to let him go, to keep pestering him forever... I don't want him to get what he wants, and I don't want to torture myself."

"Do you want to let him go like this?" Lady Catherine was furious, but Anne always had her own ideas, so she could only curse a few words to vent her anger.

No one will stop her from cursing, even if she curses, everyone will secretly agree in their hearts.

The doctor arrived soon, and under the urging of Mrs. Catherine, he calmly checked the pinch mark on Annie's neck, and finally only prescribed a little ointment and gave some advice.Everyone in the room was a little dissatisfied except Annie, and asked him to check more carefully.The doctor was tortured with a headache, but fortunately Anne came out to rescue him: "It's just scary to look at, and it's okay. I just talk and it hurts, and it will be fine after a while."

"This lady is really sensible!" The doctor hastily put away the medicine box, "A person like you shouldn't have suffered innocent disasters. The person who hurt you must be a lunatic."

After the doctor left, Lawrence suddenly said, "This is indeed an unwarranted disaster."

His words caught everyone's attention: "Alan Edgerton was recently forced by his mother to meet a lady."

"In these years, every spring, Mrs. Edgerton will make arrangements for him." Anne didn't know why.

"But he refused firmly, didn't he?" Lawrence said.

Annie nodded, still not understanding what he meant.

"The lady this year is the only descendant of a viscount." Lawrence's tone was very cold.

Annie's eyes widened.

"Miss Campbell?"

Lady Catherine asked to postpone the trip, but Anne felt that her injury was not serious, and there was no need to delay the plans of so many people.Whether it is the old house of the Earl of Fitzwilliam's mansion or the Pemberley Manor, they have already made preparations early to welcome the return of the master.At Anne's insistence, the group set off on their way home in the afternoon.

Lawrence turned his back on the crowd and locked the door.

Seeing this, Annie immediately climbed into the carriage. She didn't want to argue with Cousin Lawrence about the ownership of the house.

Lady Catherine ignored Anne only when she was unwell, and bid farewell to the Fitzwilliam family.Looking at Lawrence, who resembled her elder brother, the new earl, Lady Catherine couldn't help turning red eyes.

"Don't forget your aunt in the future, come to Rosings Manor often!"

"When we are all settled, I will definitely write to you and invite you to visit the old house." Mrs. Fitzwilliam said.

Her elder brother and her younger sister have all passed away, and since then, her "family" has really broken up.

Mrs. Fitzwilliam seemed to understand her sadness, and added: "In the old house, there are a few rooms that I ordered my servants to keep untouched. They are just cleaned frequently. When you come back, you can still live there."

"Okay, okay!" Lady Catherine couldn't hold back, and finally shed tears.

After leaving London, the two groups of people separated in their respective directions.

Annie leaned against the window, watched another group of carriages gradually going away behind her, and sighed deeply.In the carriage, accompanied by Georgiana, Mrs. Catherine gradually regained her mood. The two of them looked forward to the upcoming events at Pemberley Manor, and laughed together.

'They were more like mother and daughter. 'Annie's heart gradually softened up.

I have never felt any jealousy. Georgiana is more like a daughter than her. Before the Darcy brothers and sisters came to Rosings Manor, Anne and Lady Catherine lived together. Although there were few conflicts when getting along, the problem was that So - which pair of real mother and daughter would be like them?

Georgiana distracted Lady Catherine's attention, and Anne was relieved.

The carriage drove on the road for half a day, and when the sun gradually set to the west, they came to a lake.The sun shines on the water and waves, refracting golden light, adding a touch of warmth to this cold weather.

Georgiana shouted excitedly, wanting to get out of the car and go for a walk by the lake.Madam Catherine had been sitting in the bumpy carriage for a long time, and she couldn't bear it anymore, so she knocked on the door and made the carriage stop loudly.

Annie poked her head out of the car window, and was about to tell the riders ahead to stop and rest.At this time, suddenly, Darcy came to the carriage on horseback. He bent down and met Anne's eyes.

"Want to ride a horse?" He patted his partner under him.

At this moment, Annie thought that she had returned to the Thames River in London seven years ago.

The author has something to say: he fought Darcy to the death, and he didn't resist when he was beaten by Lawrence... Alan is still very smart.

I still like the role of Alan. He is sickly and affectionate but does not prevent him from being scheming. He has calculations in every step. Being offline temporarily does not mean that he will be offline forever.
