[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

Concerned about Juliet's discomfort in the carriage, they did not arrive in London until the afternoon of the fifth day.Juliet also ignored her thoughts, and the first thing she did was to sleep hard on the big bed in the bedroom.

It was already ten o'clock the next day when she woke up.Miss Margaret gave her a pleasant look as she went down to breakfast.So after Julian nagged a lot before going out with Earl Wendell, Juliet immediately took Miss Margaret's arm.

Miss Margaret took out a thick envelope from her skirt pocket. On the envelope were the cursive characters that Juliet was most familiar with in the past few months. He hid this letter up front." Miss Margaret handed the envelope into her hand and joked happily to her, "Hey, sweet girl, can you reveal a little bit to me for a reward? Do you love God's message?"

Juliet bit the bread and hastily opened the envelope with silver scissors, she browsed roughly, and then took the time to reply, "Don't do this, Margaret, you know that I have never hidden any details from you. With that said, she generously handed the letter to Miss Margaret.

"Look at these sweet words, it really makes me blush!" Miss Margaret glanced at it and was about to put it away, "Oh!" She suddenly whispered, looked at the letter paper carefully, and sat up again. Juliet returned to the dining table, "Honey, I can't let you spend the day in such a slovenly way. Mrs. Robert's dinner tonight! Ah! I remember seeing her invitation letter on the table just now."

Miss Margaret got busy talking to herself, combing her hair, and ironing the guest's clothes, shoes and gloves. No matter how Juliet asked her, she kept silent and laughed, and even Joyce's letter was rejected by her. I folded it up and put it in my pocket, claiming that I would read it later.

Juliet had to sit aside, and wrote a letter each to Georgiana and Joyce while her hands were free.

At the banquet held by the socialite Mrs. Robert that night, when Juliet, who was dressed up beautifully by Miss Margaret, saw the excited Joyce, she understood Miss Margaret's secret dumbfounded.

"Oh dear, you are so beautiful tonight!"

When the waiter at the door announced Juliet's name, Joyce, who was in the crowd, immediately reacted. He and the friend who were talking quickly confessed a few words, then left them, hurried through the crowd to Juliet, stretched out his hand He held Juliet's hand tightly for a while, stared at her greedily for half a minute, and then lamented softly, "How much I want to declare you as my fiancée in front of outsiders. Congratulations, my dearest Juliet, I successfully got my PhD."

Juliet noticed that there were a lot of eyes on them around them, Joyce's enthusiasm made her a little shy, and she congratulated him in a low voice.

Although the two of them kept their expressions as calm as possible, the same outstanding appearance still attracted a lot of sight and attention for them, especially after knowing the matching identities of these two young people, as long as they got a little closer to talk, these The ladies and ladies excitedly speculated about their relationship in private.

Not far away, there was such a lady who asked curiously, "Whose daughter is this? She must have just entered the social world! Otherwise, with her appearance, it is impossible for me not to have heard of her name. But I It seems that the young man next to her who is familiar with her is very familiar, what do you think? Eleanor... Eleanor?"

She whispered several times, and the young lady next to her gave her a slightly cold smile as if she heard it,

"Oh, Mrs. Fitzherbert. I'm sorry I was distracted just now." She looked at the handsome man and woman in the middle of the crowd, and there was a hint of coldness in her tone, "That's Miss Juliet Stocker, She is a noble lady. As for Joyce," she paused before replying in a subtle tone, "of course you will find him familiar. He is the son of the Baron of Kent, and more importantly, my father. Do you remember? I introduced him to you at a dinner you hosted for me not long ago."

"Ah! So it was that young man! Oh, yes, I remembered! How could I forget such a lovely young man as him!" Mrs. Fitzherbert recalled immediately.

"I heard from Joyce that they got engaged not long ago."

"Oh, this is really a great happy event, a happy match made in heaven." Maria Fitzherbert replied after deliberation.

There was nothing wrong with her well-regulated answer. Judging from her thoughts and her secret desire to please Miss Eleanor Redding (or actually her father), praising and blessing Mr. Redding's favorite student will undoubtedly arouse Ellie's attention. Miss Nuo's resonance.

The status of Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert is a bit embarrassing in the upper class. People despise her secretly, but they have to respect her on the surface, just like she can only be at Mrs. Robert's banquet at the moment, but Some real nobles disdain to associate with her.She was originally a widow who shouldn't appear in lively places, but the Prince of Wales, the current regent, was obsessed with her beauty. He declared that he only wanted to marry her as his wife, and concluded a treaty with her in front of the priest. A marriage that was not established because of the Royal Marriage Act, leaving his legal wife, Princess Caroline, behind.

All in all, she is an aboveboard mistress, and she is working hard to get the justifiable position next to the regent-as can be seen from her efforts to please Miss Eleanor Redding without any trace.

Miss Eleanor Redding's father was a well-known tutor at the Law School and a top figure in the Law Society, who could largely influence judicial proceedings in the UK.Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert knew that the Prince Regent was trying his best to search for Caroline's numerous crimes so that she could draft a divorce bill. She naturally hoped that Eleanor's father would help her and the Prince Regent, She pushed toward the shining crown.

It's a pity that her flattery and flattery always seemed to hit the cotton with a ball of strength when facing the indifferent Miss Eleanor Redding. At this moment, she found that she was even more wrong, because she heard Eleanor Redding Ding Zheng said in an excited tone that she had never heard before, "Even if this incident makes everyone happy, there must be no me in it! I will never bless him because of this incident! Never! Never! "

"Oh—" Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert looked at her in great surprise.

Eleanor Redding's flushed cheeks with excitement gave her at last a touch of girlish charm, but there was a mad gleam in her long narrow eyes and a cruel line drawn on her thin lips. Mrs. Maria Fitzherbert was very alarmed.

She is not very beautiful, she is slightly delicate, her slender neck is always raised high, and she is very thin. This shortcoming not only makes her lack the soft lines that a girl should have, but also makes her a little hard, and even hides her beauty. The only advantage - no matter how delicate her snow-white skin is, no one can detect the moist luster.

"Oh, dear madam," she said very briskly, "will you help me?" She turned her head and saw Maria Fitzherbert, who looked dazed and weak, and said contemptuously With a smile, she took the initiative to hang her hand on Maria Fitzherbert's arm, "Look where you are thinking, ma'am. It's just a small thing, it's just a matter of effort for you, it's a good thing Timing, you won't say no, right? And, I have reason to believe, you'll keep your mouth shut for me. Come on, let's meet Joyce's fiancée first. For the past two months, he's been talking about her ..." She opened her fan, covered her mouth and whispered in Mrs. Fitzherbert's ear, the slightest breath in her ear made Maria Fitzherbert shiver involuntarily.

From a distance, Juliet saw a beautiful woman and a young girl walking towards her and Joyce.

"Oh, that's my mentor's daughter, Eleanor Redding. As for the famous one next to her, oh, they're here, I'll explain to you later." Joyce obviously saw it too, and he quickly After whispering a few words in Juliet's ear, he stood up straight.

The students of the Law School all receive an absolute elite education. During their schooling, they are required to travel to various luxurious balls and social activities to lay a solid foundation for their future contacts and careers.So it is not surprising that Joyce knew some high-class "secrets" that Juliet had never heard of.

With the reserved smile she showed to strangers, Juliet bowed to each other under Joyce's introduction.He introduced Eleanor Redding very carefully, and described her as his most caring and loving sister, and also praised her as a person who observes carefully and has a keen sense just like her father, because all secrets cannot escape Her eyes, at this point, Joyce made a tacit look to Juliet.

Juliet immediately understood that the matter of their engagement might be known to Miss Eleanor Redding in front of her.

As for the beautiful lady next to Miss Redding, Joyce just passed by and called her a noble lady.She is the most charming beauty that Juliet has ever seen. Although she is a little old, her beauty is not damaged, and her beauty is even more charming, with dazzling white skin, bright red lips, thick black eyebrows, and a mouth that is about to come out. A breast, such an alluring and sinful visage, reminded Juliet of only one kind of man.And Joyce's reaction vaguely confirmed this point.She must be the mistress of some powerful and important person.

"Oh, Joyce, stop complimenting me," said Eleanor in a gentle voice, like any gentle and obedient sister at the moment, "I didn't mean to disturb you at the time of your reunion with Miss Juliet, but Mrs. Fitzherbert will definitely invite you to a party after the banquet through me. She has heard that you are the most outstanding student in this class-my father always praised you every moment. A few noblemen" She paused and glanced at Mrs. Fitzherbert, and Mrs. Fitzherbert was forced to give her a cooperative look, as if agreeing with some of her hidden meanings, "They I want to meet you and chat with you, just tonight."

Joyce glanced hesitantly at Mrs. Fitzherbert, realizing that it was probably a party that he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head, and took the time to make tomorrow's itinerary in Juliet's ear, "Please be sure Wait for me tomorrow afternoon."

Mrs. Fitzherbert had a smile on her face, but she was listening to Eleanor's gentle and sweet voice in her heart. She couldn't imagine that she said such a sentence in a very cold tone a few minutes ago.

"...He doesn't know how many cold knives he has stabbed in my heart. I can't let him happily get what he wants. This is a world that is gradually paying attention to fairness."
