Rosings Manor
Under the bright afternoon sunlight, An Ning was happily sketching by the lake with her young cousin Georgiana.
Several months had passed since that visit, during which, at soone's invitation, An Ning had specifically visited the villa located in the Pall Mall area near Whitehall in London—the current residence of this Mr. Hols.
And she had unceremoniously offered just a tiny bit of advice.
Back and forth like this, although their marriage hadn't been completely settled yet, perceptive people could already see sothing developing.
Lady Catherine felt sowhat regretful about this, as in this lady's view, among all the gentlen in London, her precious daughter had seen far too few.
The selection range wasn't sufficiently abundant.
However, these regrets completely disappeared after Mr. Hols made several visits, transforming into twelve parts satisfaction and pride for this future son-in-law:
"Oh, dear Anne, I must say, your judgnt is truly excellent, my treasure! That Mr. Hols is indeed the most sincere and polite gentleman!"
"Never mind other things, just in terms of gentleness, consideration, and understanding, he's far better than any of your cousins!"
Lady Catherine praised enthusiastically, while also taking the opportunity to criticize the still-unmarried elder bachelor youth Darcy.
Especially after learning that her nephew had been entangled with so country girl for so long, and had even failed in two marriage proposals, in Lady Catherine's eyes, this nephew's status and even intelligence had secretly decreased quite a bit, particularly with such a comparison available.
An Ning at that mont: "......"
Sincere, gentle and considerate...
An Ning's lips twitched strangely for a mont.
Well... good, as long as you're happy, Mother.
The next day, when she received this "elder bachelor youth" Mr. Darcy's letter seeking help, An Ning's painting was only half finished.
"What, elopent?"
Looking at her cousin who had clearly rushed here in haste, his clothes wrinkled and covered with dust without even changing, An Ning couldn't help but frown.
Because it had been too long ago, aside from the main characters, An Ning had mostly forgotten the plot of this novel. In her previous life, due to health problems, the original owner had been a young girl who never stepped outside her ho, so she knew even less.
Thus she truly didn't rember this particular incident.
But Wickham?
Taking a deep breath at this person's na, An Ning said:
"If I rember correctly, this is the sa gambler who previously attempted to abduct Georgiana and tried to blackmail the Darcy family, right?"
An Ning deliberately emphasized the word "gambler" heavily.
Yes!
eting his young cousin's unusually displeased gaze, the hurriedly arrived Darcy nodded with difficulty.
Having lived such leisurely days for so long in this lifeti, this was the first ti An Ning felt so angry she almost laughed:
"So, dear cousin, you're telling now that this person has now shifted his target to Miss Bennet, that is, the future mistress of Pemberley Estate, Miss Elizabeth's younger sister?"
"After attempting to seduce Georgiana and extort the Darcy family failed!"
"Dear Mr. Darcy, don't tell that after all this happened, you truly didn't realize what his actual purpose is?"
Bennet? For a gambler burdened with massive gambling debts, what value does a country squire's daughter have?
What would make a gambler spend so much energy, ti, and risk for this—any person could figure out the purpose.
Although Darcy was kind-hearted, he wasn't foolish, and naturally had so suspicions. Facing those sapphire blue eyes that seed capable of seeing through everything, this proud gentleman couldn't help but lower his head.
Perhaps the sunlight at Rosings Manor was too intimidating, as Mr. Darcy's tone was particularly strained as he said:
"Yes, I know!"
An Ning couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Fine, cousin, I can help you this ti, but Mr. Darcy!"
"I only want to and will only say this once—I hope you understand clearly that Pemberley Estate isn't just your ho and the future Mrs. Darcy's ho, it's also the place where your own sister Georgiana grew up, both now and in the future."
"Of course, if you think that once Georgiana marries soday, she'll have nothing to do with Pemberley anymore, then consider my words today as never spoken..."
