Dear Mr. Darcy [Pride and Prejudice]

Georgiana and the butler met at the door of Mr. Darcy's study.

In the past, Georgiana would definitely have asked the butler to go in first, because what the butler and Mr. Darcy said were business matters, but Georgiana did not do so today, she whispered with firm eyes: "Can you let me in first?"

Mr. Housekeeper was a little surprised, but he took a step back and bowed slightly. "Of course, please come in."

Mr. Darcy was packing his papers for his departure.Although the atmosphere was not very stiff in the end, after all, there was a failed confession between the two yesterday. Mr. Darcy felt that Emma would feel awkward. He didn't want Emma to leave early because of this, whether it was for Emma or George. anna.He thought it was the housekeeper when he heard the knock on the door of the study room, but he didn't expect it to be Georgiana. "What's wrong?"

Georgiana's palms were sweating, but she still asked the question firmly: "Brother, what are you going to do with Emma yesterday?"

There was a pause in Mr. Darcy's men.What did Georgiana know?No, as long as the two of them were present at the proposal last night, and maybe the person who locked the door, it is absolutely impossible for Georgiana to know what happened yesterday, maybe because of his unusual behavior on the terrace last night or meeting Georgiana There was no shirt at the time, which made the sensitive Georgiana have some guesses about his relationship with Emma. "Nothing happened. So nothing needs to be done."

Georgiana's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that Mr. Darcy was really not going to do anything.Although Mr. Darcy is relatively restrained, if he wants to marry Emma, ​​it is impossible to hide it from her until now. "You don't, don't you like Emma?"

At that moment, many images flashed in Mr. Darcy's mind, but he finally denied it. "No." When these words came out, Mr. Darcy's heart seemed to be empty. It seemed to be a little lighter, but it was very empty.He made a decision, since Emma is not what he imagined, it is better to give up this relationship.Mr. Darcy didn't want to discuss this issue with Georgiana anymore. He said in a tone that could not be refused: "I have something to go out for a few days, let the housekeeper come in, and I will leave after dealing with Pember's affairs."

Georgiana doesn't know Mr. Darcy's psychological changes, only that Mr. Darcy has resolutely refused to be responsible to Emma.Georgiana was very angry, but Mr. Darcy's tone of voice proved that he had made the final decision. She knew that she could not change the decision of her stubborn brother. She bit her lip and gave Mr. Darcy a teary look. Turn around and walk out quickly.

Mr. Butler politely waited a certain distance from the study room, when the door opened suddenly, Georgiana walked out quickly with her head bowed, and said to the butler in a nasal voice, "Please come in." left.

Mr. Steward looked at Georgiana's back worriedly. Since yesterday, something has been wrong with Georgiana. Could it be because of that pious Mr. Wickham?Wickham had talked a lot to Georgiana yesterday. Could it be that Georgiana came to ask Mr. Darcy to help Mr. Wickham today?

Walking into the study, Mr. Butler first reported the recent situation.Then one thing was mentioned: "Yesterday you asked me to find out who locked the balcony door. No servants went to the small building at that time. Mr. Wickham begged to see you last night, and it took a bit long to get from the door to the living room." But you don't know the exact time when the door was locked, so you can't be sure whether Mr. Wickham did it." Normally, no one would pay attention to the time when Mr. Wickham went from the door to the living room, but Mr. Butler looked at George Anna grew up from a little girl, and didn't like the guy who made her sad, so she paid special attention to Mr. Wickham's situation, but she didn't expect that there was something wrong.

Mr. Darcy frowned, he didn't trust Wickham's character, but why did Wickham make such a move?

Mr. Butler added: "Mr. Wickham defrauded several gentlemen of their money to pay off their gambling debts. He may have come to you last night to hope that you would lend a helping hand, but he didn't seem to have much hope for this matter. Waited for a while He left before you came back."

Mr. Darcy thought for a moment.If Wickham felt that he was the one who exposed the fraud, then there would be an explanation for all of Wickham's actions.But why did Wickham think so?It was indeed a coincidence that Wickham was blocked in the street by his creditors.By the way, Emma said that there is no problem with George's ability, so why did George take him out because of such a low-level misjudgment?Why was Georgiana so sad after what happened yesterday at Wickham?Mr. Darcy's face gradually fell. "Wickham was not taken away by the police?"

"The creditor called the police officer yesterday, but Mr. Wickham temporarily got rid of the police officer in your name. He must have escaped from Pemberley last night, because he was nowhere to be found. The police officer came to Pemberley this morning to inquire. the situation."

Mr. Darcy rose abruptly, and hurried out.Better not let him know what Wickham did to Georgiana, or else...

Georgiana went back to her room and threw herself on the bed and wept.She thought it was impossible for her brother to take no obvious actions after Emma broke off the engagement, but now it seems that he doesn't like Emma anymore, and he is even unwilling to take responsibility.Georgiana regretted and worried at the same time, regretting that the servants should not have avoided the small building last night, so that it had such serious consequences; worried about Emma's situation.Georgiana made up her mind that if her brother insisted on not being responsible to Emma, ​​she would never marry for the rest of her life, but she would raise Emma and her brother's children and let Emma marry someone who liked her.

Mr. Darcy never dealt with his younger sister, let alone such an embarrassing thing, but he couldn't do without asking.Mr. Darcy stared at Georgiana's door, and did not knock until he had thought of a tactful question.

Georgiana bowed her head so as not to look at Mr. Darcy.

Mr. Darcy coughed lightly: "Auntie would like to introduce some gentlemen to you."

Georgiana still hadn't calmed down, and whispered angrily, "I don't want to get married."

Mr. Darcy's heart sank. "Why?" Although he wanted to ask if it was because of Wickham, he was afraid of touching Georgiana's wound.Georgiana has been living a very happy life, what reason is there to refuse marriage?Only Wickham, I suppose.

Georgiana did not wish to speak to Mr. Darcy. "Apologizing for me and my aunt, I can only live up to her kindness."

Mr. Darcy made a violent clenched fist with his right hand.Wickham!

On the other side, George also encountered a big problem.He opened the first letter first, and after a quick scan, he let the servant go out first, and said to Emma, ​​"Mr. Wall has news. Those crooks have been caught, and the loss is not serious."

The corners of Emma's lips hooked slightly. "very good."

George didn't understand Emma's approach: "Why didn't you catch the liar in advance?" Although the loss is not serious now, the liar will definitely squander some of it in advance. He knows that Emma can't understand this truth.

Emma felt that the matter required no explanation at all. "They are not liars until they abscond with money. Are you going to use your connections to arrest them?"

George thought it was okay. "Your friend's future husband, I can help a little."

Emma shook her head. "It's still too early to talk about the future husband. Mr. Wall and Daisy love each other, and the last time I saw him, I found that he has good qualities in all aspects. But it is not enough for a suitable marriage partner to have these conditions. Wall Mr. Earle will not be able to inherit the title in the future. He has no land income and must manage the property properly. Obviously he is not capable in this area. It is not that you did not tell him that the group of people is suspicious, but he believes in his own judgment. Paying a little tuition is conducive to growth. No A person can always be responsible for other people's life, he should learn to distinguish the true from the false."

Emma was also right.George fell silent and opened the second letter.As soon as he read a line, his face changed drastically and he stood up. "Emma, ​​the old housekeeper's son has been killed."

The shock that this sentence brought to Emma was no less than that of George, but Emma was calmer. "Bring the letter."

The content of the letter was very simple. John, the son of the old housekeeper who had followed the old Earl of Kentra for many years, was missing.He works as the family doctor of Kentra's family, but he doesn't live in Manfair on weekdays. Because he didn't show up when he was getting paid, the housekeeper sent someone to look for him at his house. Unexpectedly, not only was there no one at home, but he couldn't find it anywhere else.His body was later found in the wild.It is unknown exactly when he disappeared, nor what happened to him, the only thing known is that he was killed.

George paced up and down restlessly, smelling danger. "John has a gentle personality and is friendly to others. He lives a regular life without drinking and gambling. How could he be killed suddenly? Let's go back now."

Emma comforted him softly. "Don't worry, it's still early. We'll be back in Yorkshire the day after tomorrow. I'll go back and pack up. You can go to Mr. Darcy and say goodbye." Emma wanted to find an excuse to leave, but now she doesn't need an excuse .

The process of saying goodbye was smoother than George had imagined.Mr. Darcy wanted to go out to find Mr. Wickham, and he was in a hurry to go out, but he didn't keep George back because of his worried appearance.

After greeting Mr. Darcy, George returned to the room, packed the important things in a small box and took them with him, while the other items were packed by the servants.George watched absently as the servant packed his clothes. He took out the letter again and wanted to read it carefully so as not to miss any clues. This time he found something wrong. It seemed that something was stuck to the back of the envelope?It's a little note.

What message is to be delivered like this?Forget it, let's take a look, anyway, no matter what the news is, it will never be worse than the news just now.George took off the small note and took a look, then realized that his judgment just now was too naive.

After Mr. Darcy left, Georgiana lay listlessly on the bed. She had never treated her brother with such an attitude, but her brother really went too far this time.Georgiana rolled over, thinking angrily that she would not apologize.Just then the maid comes in and says George wants to see her.

Georgiana's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that George knew about Emma and Mr. Darcy?

Feeling anxious and guilty, Georgiana just walked into the living room when she heard George ask in a deep voice, "What's going on with Emma and Fitzwilliam?"

When George was not smiling, he looked very much like old Mr. Kentra, majestic and stern. Georgiana was taken aback. She wanted to express it euphemistically, but she forgot all about it. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, if I have a child, I will never marry and raise him."

George opened his mouth wide and sucked in a breath of cold air. "child?"

Now that it was too late to hide, Georgiana told all she knew.George's face changed when he heard it. "Fitzwilliam liked Emma before she broke off the engagement, but he didn't like her after Emma broke off the engagement. The two of them were locked in the balcony last night and their clothes were torn, but that guy refused to take responsibility?"

Georgiana nodded hesitantly, although it was true, it sounded a bit weird. "Their clothes were torn apart and tied into ropes."

George stood up with a livid face and walked towards the bedroom.He's going to duel Fitzwilliam Darcy with pistol/gun!Fortunately, he still wanted to match Mr. Darcy and Emma, ​​but he didn't expect Darcy to be such an irresponsible person!Darcy is a gentleman and a man, who knows if something happened after they ripped their clothes on the terrace?What's more, Darcy likes to read that kind of tabloids, but in fact he doesn't go anywhere seriously [George Brain Supplement].Even if nothing happened, Darcy took advantage of his sister by taking off his clothes. Darcy didn't want to be responsible, and he couldn't let Darcy off easily!

Georgiana had a hunch that things were going to get worse. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have let the servants avoid the small building. I'm willing to take all the responsibilities!"

Facing the tearful apology from the introverted little girl, George barely suppressed his anger. "It's not your fault, I'll go talk to your brother."

Georgiana followed him step by step. "I'll go too, and convince my brother with you." Although she never wavered from her brother's decision, she still wanted to contribute.

George's plan for a duel with a gun fell through, so he decided to have a good talk with Mr. Darcy, and a duel if they couldn't reach an agreement. Unfortunately, this wish was not fulfilled.Mr. Darcy had packed his things long ago, and was on his way when George found him.

George's curly hair was about to stand on end, but it was urgent, and he couldn't wait for Mr. Darcy to come back before returning to Yorkshire, so he reluctantly took Emma back.

Mr. Darcy on the other side was completely unaware of this.Derbyshire is his sphere of influence, and it is not so easy to do business outside of Derbyshire. In addition, Mr. Wickham is a little clever. He has been searching outside for more than half a month but has not found any trace of Mr. Wickham.

That night Mr. Darcy came to the hotel with his servants.The hotel owner is a warm middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He put the dinner on the table and said with a smile: "A master like you has never eaten such a meal." Really spartan.The bread is not white bread, hard and strange in color.

"No." Mr. Darcy calmly picked up the bread without using a knife and fork, and gnawed it like everyone else.It is true that he had never eaten such a meal, but he did not find it difficult to swallow.

The innkeeper was very appreciative of Mr. Darcy's approach. "Hey, you are really different from other masters. Although you are dressed plainly, I can tell at a glance that you must be of noble birth. I thought you would be picky in every possible way, but I didn't expect it."

Mr. Darcy glanced at the innkeeper.Ordinary civilians would not speak to nobles in such a tone.The innkeeper didn't seem to notice his scrutiny, and turned to entertain other guests.

At night, Mr. Darcy was lying on the bed. For some reason, his thoughts were disturbed tonight. Many images flashed through his mind, and finally they were fixed on a gentle smiling face. "Emma..." blurted out the sigh-like call, and Mr. Darcy woke up suddenly.No, he couldn't go on like this.Emma was not the partner he wanted to live with, in many ways the opposite of the type he had envisioned.

Mr. Darcy couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to get up and walk around, but just as he got to the door, he heard someone whispering outside the door: "Is this here?"

"That's right, it's here. Fitzwilliam Darcy." Then came the special sound of the gun being loaded.

Mr. Darcy became alarmed at once. The door of the hotel was not very good, and it could be opened with a kick.I don't know how many people are on the other side. If there are more than three, no matter how good his marksmanship is, it is impossible for him to deal with it.Mr. Darcy went to the window, wanted to see if there was no one guarding below, and if there was no one, he jumped down, only to meet a pair of emerald eyes.

Mr. Darcy's hand trembled, and the gun nearly dropped. "Why are you here!"
