beauty and money

It was originally planned that they were going to Longbourne Manor, but the plans of the Benests fell through again, and Elizabeth and Darcy came to London for some unknown reason.

Mr. Darcy even wrote a very harsh letter, asking Mary to come and see him at his apartment in London.

Before setting off, Benest was very worried, and Mary herself was also uneasy.

After the carriage arrived at Darcy's apartment, Mary saw the pale Elizabeth there, with a listless look, holding her daughter very sadly.

And Darcy stood in front of the window, with his back to Mary, his whole shoulders trembling.

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you all right? Did you call me here to say something?" Mary had a smile on her face, but she was very disturbed in her heart.

The wording of the letter was too serious, and she was afraid that something bad might happen.

"Mary, what have you done?" Elizabeth asked desperately, she didn't even greet her newly married sister.

"Lizzy, what's wrong with you?" Mary bowed to her sister and brother-in-law, not understanding what happened.

Mr. Darcy was like a panting bull, and with a bang, he slammed the table with such a loud noise that the baby cried out in fright.

Elizabeth couldn't help trembling, and asked the maid to take her daughter down to settle down.

"What's the matter? Tell me, what is this!" Darcy turned around, his face flushed, with veins on his forehead, like an angry bull, and then he threw the letter on the table in front of him onto the carpet .

The red carpet and the white stationery are Mary's letter to Georgiana.

Mary's heart skipped a beat, why is this letter here?

"What happened? Why is this letter here?"

Darcy covered his face with trembling hands. He tried his best to suppress his anger and disappointment and said, "Georgiana eloped, and once again, I am disappointed! And you are the culprit for all this! Mary Bene You're always causing trouble, Sturt! That's how you pay me for paying off your husband's debts? Is it?"

Darcy was angry and disappointed. This matter has not been spread yet, but sooner or later the Cavendish family will know about this scandal, and their social status and reputation will be lost.

Mary was even more shocked that Mr. Darcy actually helped Benest pay off his debts!Although the amount owed was not much, she thought it was paid by her father from her dowry money, but she didn't expect it!

A great sense of shame and shame welled up in her heart, her face was flushed, and she dared not face Mr. Darcy at all.

"Georgianna refused Mr. Cavendish's marriage proposal! Mr. Cavendish was so angry that he sent her back to Pemberley. I reassured him that George Annan was only too reserved to calm his anger. I had persuaded Georgiana, but she received your letter without my knowledge! Correspondence with that opportunist all winter. When I realized that it was wrong to want to cut off her inappropriate feelings, she ran away overnight, Didn't even take anything, all alone!" Darcy hung his head like a defeated rooster, angry and sad.

But what saddened him the most was how difficult it must be for Georgiana, a weak woman, to go to London alone with nothing in her possessions!

Mary was speechless, and she could not refute any of the allegations. This news was devastating to the Darcy family. At the time, Lydia eloped, and Mr. Darcy was able to turn it around, but the situation is completely different now.Georgiana was about to marry Mr. Cavendish, but she abandoned everything and ran away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of…"

"You, you always pretend to be smart! Enough is enough, I never want to see you again, forever..." Darcy supported the table with his hands, feeling extremely tired.

"I can go to Lefroy, I can stop..."

"Too late, Lefroy is gone, he left from Oxford, no one knows where they went, I lost her, lost her forever..."

Elizabeth also shed tears and said: "Mary, Mary, my sister, do you know what you will bring to our family? Let's go, let's go!"

Mary, who was reprimanded, left in a state of confusion. She didn't know that one of her letters prompted Georgiana to elope. If this scandal broke out, the Darcy family would suffer great humiliation.

"Why am I so stupid? Why do I have to write such a letter?" She muttered to herself, whimpering softly.

It wasn't until she returned to the hotel that she calmed down and tried her best not to let Benest see it.

Benest is packing his luggage. He can't wait to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. They have returned to Longbourne before Christmas. Benest is extremely anxious, for fear that he will disappoint his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

When he heard the movement at the door, he rushed over impatiently and asked, "Honey, what do you think of me wearing this?"

Mary's expression was flat, and she tried her best to pull out a smiling face and said, "Very good!"

"What's wrong with you?" How could the sensitive Benest fail to see Mary's forced smile. "Did Mr. Darcy say something?"

"No, no...just..." Mary shook her head, trying to calm herself down, but she still cried out. Tears rolled down from her eyes, instead of howling and sobbing, the tears fell silently and hit the ground one by one. , to the surprise of Benest.

"Tell me Mary, tell me we are a couple, I should know..." Benest held Mary in his arms and let her cry on his shoulder.

Mary, who has always been strong, suddenly felt very wronged. She was questioned and humiliated by what she had encountered.Not just Darcy, Georgiana, but more, Grace, Yang, Oxford, Lord Monadius, Collins, all kinds of grievances and sorrows have always been thought to be tolerated.

But now, there is someone beside her, embracing and embracing her. This feeling is too warm. She is a little afraid that she does not deserve such love. What a bad person she is!

Mary told Benest what had happened, her own fault and stupidity.

"Mary, Mary, listen to me. You are right, not wrong at all." Benest hugged his wife tightly, standing by her side unconditionally. "If Miss Georgiana really loves Mr. Cavendish, then she will not refuse the marriage proposal, no. Mr. Darcy only sees the interests of the family and what he thinks is happiness in a prosperous life. He turns a blind eye to Miss Georgiana's heart , is the beginning of this tragedy.”

"No, if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have eloped! It was my letter, let them communicate again, it was me..."

"It's you, but if Georgiana still and always loves that person, will she be happy marrying Mr. Cavendish? Mary, a broken rose withers and a trampled thorn blooms forever. You gave her courage, Even if everyone hates you, Miss Georgiana will thank you, otherwise she will never taste the taste of love, and will always be immersed in painful torture." Benest's words about love were deeply moved Mary, although she was still very guilty, she felt a little sweetness in the pain.

In the distant Oxford country church, Georgiana and Lefroy stand before the cross, she has no money for a wedding dress, his salary is meager, he has lost his professorship, he has nothing.

However, it is too painful, and it is too painful to be separated from the one you love.

Georgiana's eyes were red from crying. She was afraid and lonely, but the flame of love burning in her chest could not be extinguished. She tried to calm down and accept it, but she made herself feel worse than death. Every second she felt suffocated and sick, and if he was going to be her husband, then she would rather kill herself by taking drugs.

There was no one in the church, and it wasn't the time for worship.There are no priests, no nuns, just a desperate couple.

They stood before the cross, proclaiming to each other, just as they were about to exchange rings.

With a bang, the door was opened.

The spring wind blew in with the petals, and a tall man strode into the church. His face was terrifying, and his expression was even more serious.

With shame and guilt, Mary and Benest left London for Longbourne. Mr. Darcy covered up the scandal very well and knew very few people. He announced that Georgiana was ill, but privately searched for it.

The scenery of Longbourn is still the same, and all the ladies here are already married, so it is a bit lonely.Spring flowers and wild roses fill the courtyard, and tall eucalyptus trees can be seen from afar.

Nothing has changed, but everything has changed again.

Mr. Bennet can only move around in a small area, and Mrs. Bennet takes care of Kitty's son Edward, who is still a small baby.

It's just that Kitty is pregnant again, and she can't see her son again, and Lord Monadius has to focus again on whether he can give birth to a healthy heir.

Lydia often went to Jane's house as usual. Recently, Darcy Manor closed its doors to thank guests, and she would often come to Longbourne.Mary found it strange to enter Longbourn in another capacity after her marriage; she could no longer call it home at all, it was like a place where she had once lived.

After a few days at Longbourn, she was going back to Antrim. She was lonely and lost. She wanted to hide and was afraid of taking responsibility. Every night she dreamed that the scandal broke out and the Darcy family was disgraced. Scenes where Elizabeth cries, and Mr. Darcy growls in every scene.

Never seeing each other again, that would be really difficult, unless she stayed in Antrim forever, and with this thought, she wanted to go back even more.

Until, Mrs. Bennet came to find Mary mysteriously. She was always well-informed, which made Mary feel scared. Could it be that a scandal broke out?

"Mary, it's incredible, it's terrible!" Mrs. Bennet exclaimed in a low voice, expressing her surprise in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"Oh, big news, it's a scandal, and the whole upper class knows about it."

"What?" Mary squeezed her fists in panic.

"Mr. Cavendish has retired!"

"Yes, yes, why?" She trembled uneasily.

"Because his mistress and illegitimate child came to him, and it was an actress who found him all of a sudden, with a child, and he didn't admit it at first, but then other women showed up. My God, he has How many mistresses he can't remember, it's too scary!"

"So, he broke off the engagement?" Mary's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Of course, your brother-in-law, Darcy, flew into a fit of rage and promptly broke off the engagement of Mr. Cavendish and Miss Georgiana. It was a shock to the whole of high society, my God, although many people would have liked to see it." One day. After all, the marriage between the Darcy family and the Cavendish family will violate their interests. Poor Georgiana, although it is not her fault, she has been divorced after all, and her reputation has been damaged..." Bennett It's a pity for the wife. The Darcy family is well-developed, which is also very beneficial to their in-laws.

"Announced! They annulled!" Mary murmured, relieved.
