Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Mr. Darcy changed into light home clothes, and the fluffy white cuffs swayed in the wind.He was standing in front of the window, already a painting.

"Please sit down." Mr. Darcy walked behind the desk. There were two soft armchairs in front of the desk. After Jane Eyre and Georgiana sat down, he waved his hand to signal the housekeeper and servants to leave.

Jane Eyre looked at this large study room, which was almost completely different from the small study room, with an area three to four times the size of the small study room, and the huge bookshelves towering above the sky were filled with heavy books—just by looking at the album pages, you could tell that all of them were familiar with each other. It's a tome she can't read.The desk is simple and elegant, with a beautiful gold-plated brass globe on one side near the window, and two stacks of bookkeeping on the other side, which shows that Mr. Darcy calculates the annual income and expenses of the industry here.

The small living room of the study is very similar to that of the small study. In front of the tall fireplace is a circle of sofas, covered with beautifully embroidered blankets.It's just that they didn't help very much, and Mr. Darcy preferred to sit at a desk giving orders, and discussing plans with lawyers and bookkeepers.

When the last servant closed the door, Mr. Darcy finally took his eyes back from the window to the two ladies in front of him.

He was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and finally he only opened the topic bluntly: "The affair between Wickham and Lilith has been going on for more than half a year."

"What? Doesn't that mean that when everyone in the manor was busy with their mother's departure, they..." Georgiana flushed with anger.It was the most gloomy and dark period in Pemberley Manor. The old lady passed away suddenly, and the air pressure among the servants was also very low. The two took advantage of the loophole.

Jane Eyre also frowned. According to what Mr. Darcy said in the small black room last time, Lilith climbed into his bed on the day of old Darcy's funeral and was kicked out by him.According to the timeline, didn't she forget to be in charge when she had an affair with Wickham?

"Yes, it's ridiculous!" Mr. Darcy's tone was cold, but his words were fierce, "Georgianna, Mrs. Reynolds had already noticed this, but her father was also seriously ill at the time, and she really didn't want to provoke him— After all, he regards Wickham as his own son, and even you believe in him."

Hearing these words, Georgiana blushed even more, her expression seemed shy and angry.There was a hint of disapproval in her eyes. "You should have told me sooner!"

"Georgianna, even if I tell you, will you believe it?" Mr. Darcy took out a cigar from the drawer, but did not light it, just sniffed the smell of nicotine, "Well, even if you believe it ——But if you meet such a person again in the future, you will still trust him easily. After all, his appearance and eloquence can capture the trust of most people."

Georgiana slumped.Yes, she had always been full of trust, admiration and affection for Wickham.Even though his elder brother's attitude towards him has never been friendly, even if he called him, even though they grew up together, he only called him Wickham in a strange way.She had even wondered before if her brother was jealous that George--no, Wickham--was getting more love from his father, while he was born heir and always business-like with his father.

"Wickham has always been able to easily gain the trust and admiration of others. Lilith is not the only one who has such feelings for him. It's just that she is outstanding and has become his chosen pastime." Jane Eyre also spoke slowly, She still remembered that when she came to Pemberley Manor on the first day, even Henry, the former coachman and the current gardener, praised him very much. He also said that many maids in the house were very fond of him.

"Since he has done such a thing, he is really ashamed of his father's teaching." Mr. Darcy snorted coldly, "He is also regarded as evil with evil, and this time the injury is not serious. When he recovers from his injury, I will send him Someone sent him to Cambridge, his school, and paid for his tuition and living expenses before he became an adult. With his character, he really can't accept the priesthood. As for him after graduation, I don't care about it anyway."

"You are too kind, Mr. Darcy! A man like him should go to hell!"

"You don't need to flatter me like this, Miss Jane. This is my father's last wish. Even though I hate him deeply, I have to suppress my disgust." Mr. Darcy took a sip of black tea irritably, but the slightly cold tea could calm him down down.

"Can't he and Lilith be together? Since they have a crush on each other." Georgiana wondered.She still doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter.

Jane Eyre sighed, and explained to Mr. Darcy: "I haven't told her about Lilith's situation, I think it's up to you to tell, after all..." After all, Lilith's situation is too private, she is not sure about Darcy Would Mr. Will tell Georgiana, dirty her ears.Georgiana grew more and more confused.

Mr. Darcy nodded in understanding, looked into his sister's pure and clear eyes, was silent for a moment, and decided to tell her part of the truth: "Lilith had his child, but she lost it last night."

"God!" Georgiana exclaimed, her eyes widened. "Wickham...?"

"...Yes, Georgiana." Mr. Darcy also admitted helplessly, "If they are in love and want to be together, I will not refuse to give my blessing. It's just that they are probably enemies now. Vic Ham kicked her in the stomach and she stabbed him, and it hurt both."

"Then what about Lilith? What arrangements do you make for her?" On the one hand, Jane Eyre despises this girl's shameless behavior of trying to step on two boats, but on the other hand, she is a fool who lost her child. Girl, she couldn't help feeling pity.

"Mrs Reynolds has locked her up in the basement under the watch of a doctor and servants. When she recovers she must leave Derbyshire."

Jane Eyre didn't know what it was like in her heart. In this era, she knew what would happen to such a maid who was driven out of the manor.To make matters worse, if she had an ordinary face, she would still have a glimmer of life, and she could barely make ends meet by doing some rough work.But Lilith's beauty is outstanding even for her who was once an Asian, despite her aesthetic cognitive impairment.Such a stunner might be murdered before leaving Derbyshire...

Even if Mr. Darcy left her here regardless of the past, the saliva of the servants of Pemberley Manor could drown her.

But obviously she and Wickham committed these things together, but Wickham can still inherit the sum of money left by old Darcy, and return to the previous life without any worries, and her life has been completely exhausted. destroyed.

"Poor Lilith... Although I didn't see what happened last night, but from Mrs. Reynolds' description, the scene at that time was really horrifying." Her tone was low.

"Miss Jane, there is no need for your pity." Mr. Darcy leaned back, leaning back in his chair, with the full posture of a manor owner, "She is just a lowly maid, and really does not deserve your pity She did such a thing, she should have expected the consequences long ago."

Georgiana held Jane Eyre's hand, and found that her palm was cold and sweated: "Jane, she is different from us. Although her situation is unfortunate, she is not pitiful. She has already overstepped!" Understand why she has such a big reaction.

Jane Eyre disagreed, but felt tired for a while, and stopped talking.Georgiana is still a rich lady after all, even if she talked to her a lot about human rights, class, and gender the day before, she still hasn't fully understood.

After explaining a few words to Georgiana, Mr. Darcy rang the bell to ask Mrs. Reynolds to come over to discuss the follow-up, and Georgiana and Jane Eyre took the opportunity to leave.In her own thoughts, Jane Eyre did not see the thoughtful eyes that Mr. Darcy cast on her several times.

Jane Eyre couldn't tell what she was thinking. On the one hand, she knew that Lilith was doing it on her own, and it was her own fault.But on the other hand, she was struck by the naked class difference.This kind of thing cannot be slapped with a single slap, but as a half-master, Wickham was able to retreat unscathed. The biggest loss was the loss of the priesthood. Mr. Darcy still obeyed his father's last wish and was willing to serve him. Responsible to adulthood.However, Lilith, as a maid, was not only physically and mentally injured, but her life had already come to an end. Her appearance was not only a boost to her previous position, but it would be a weapon to kill her in the future.

Jane Eyre is not 100% sympathetic to her getting what she deserved, yet she is outraged that her accomplice got away with it.

'Could it be that I will end up like this if I do something out of line in the future? 'Jane Eyre could not help being afraid of this.After all, her rebellion and resistance are to some extent more intolerable than the chaos in Lilith's private life.

After returning to the room, Jane Eyre felt that she couldn't breathe for a while, so she walked quickly to the window, stretched out her hand and opened the window suddenly.The chilly spring breeze rushed in with the fragrance of the budding spring, and also messed up the letters on her desk.

Jane Eyre fell into a long silence as she looked at the two words of the recipient "Kole Bell".

The three Bronte sisters once published their works under the male pen name of "Bell", but later, they still faced the storm of public opinion with their truest selves.This kind of bravery and determination once inspired her, but now she looks like a coward. She has the life of her predecessors as an example. Does she have reason to shrink back?

Mr. Rochester also expressed his understanding of her career. Although Georgiana was puzzled, she did not express disapproval, and was only worried about her situation.She wasn't that helpless.

Jane Eyre figured it out, but she ignited her desire to meet Lilith.

She closed the window, her heart beating fast.Putting on the coat casually, relying on memory, he walked quickly to the kitchen.She didn't know where the basement was, but Bessie might.

She almost ran to the kitchen door, stopped a footman breathlessly, and asked if he could help her find Bessie.

"Miss Eyre! Why are you here?" Bessie was very puzzled when she heard someone talking about looking for her, until she saw Jane Eyre outside the kitchen door.Jane Eyre stood under the sunlight coming in from the narrow window, waiting anxiously for Bessie.

"Bessie, I'm sorry to interrupt your work again."

"It's okay, I just happened to be resting." Bessie stepped forward, seeing that her face was very pale, "Would you like to come in and warm up?"

"No, no need. I came to you to ask... Do you know where Lilith's basement is?"

Bessie almost screamed out, but Jane Eyre stepped forward and covered her mouth. "You know, right? I don't have any other ideas. I just want to meet her and say a few words. After all, she was also in charge of my daily life when I first came here."

Bessie nodded, and Jane Eyre let go. "Miss Love, what happened last night was really scary! Almost all the servants saw Lilith being dragged naked and covered in blood into the basement. They were all discussing it early this morning. What! Don't set yourself on fire!"

"No, Bessie. Is there any pudding left from yesterday?" Seeing Bessie nodded, Jane Eyre begged, "Can I have one?"

"You want to give it to Lilith?" Bessie showed hesitation, she was really worried about Jane Eyre.Jane Eyre took her arm and said in a low voice: "You don't have to worry about me, I know it well, and Mr. Darcy won't blame him for it. Otherwise, he would have driven Lilith away long ago."

Seeing her determined expression, Bessie had no choice but to go back and get a copy and hand it to her.She was really worried, so she took Jane Eyre through the servants' living quarters, turned left and right for a while, and finally walked down a flight of stairs with a door at the bottom.

"Here it is." Bessie gestured to open the door, but Jane Eyre stopped her: "I'll go down by myself, there is a doctor here, I should be fine." Lilith's affairs are very private, and it is not suitable for too many people to know .She sat down and picked up the candlestick on the wall next to her, took the packed pudding with her right hand, and went into the basement.

This place is not as eerie as she imagined. Half of it is underground, and the other half is on the ground. There are several narrow windows in the high place, and the sunlight pours in, forming spots of light on the ground.The dark side is full of stored food, while the bright side is separated by an iron fence, and there is only a bed and a pair of tables and chairs inside.

Lilith was lying on the bed, the gray quilt covered her chest, she had been changed into a simple white dress, she was no longer naked.Her eyes were tightly closed, and the moment she entered the basement, her eyelids moved slightly, but they did not open.

Outside the iron fence, it was arranged as a simple living room. A young doctor was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand, reading through the sunlight coming in from the window.Hearing the knock of the door, he raised his head and was about to get up to salute, but found that the person in front of him was not Mr. Darcy, but a strange lady.

"you are……?"

"I'm Miss Warren's tutor, and we're invited here as guests." Jane Eyre bowed to him, "Lilith has served us for a while, so I'll come and see her."

The doctor showed a clear face, obviously he had heard about the origin of Jane Eyre. "She is very weak now. The situation last night was too critical. Her child was not kept-not only that, but it may be difficult to have another child in the future. Mr. Wickham's kick was not light, her The uterus suffered massive injuries."

Jane Eyre took a deep breath and looked at Lilith in disbelief.

Lilith's eyelids trembled, she was not asleep, and when she heard the doctor's words, a tear rolled down from the corner of her eyes.Tears glistened in the sun.

"I have tried my best, but..." "Thank you, doctor. It is very good to save her life." Jane Eyre interrupted the doctor's words, and she could see that the doctor had a benevolent heart. Feeling guilty, he didn't look down on Lilith because of her identity, "Can I have a few words with her alone?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, observed the lady in front of him, and nodded when he saw that she didn't hurt the patient's heart. "I'm right outside the door, if anything happens, please call me loudly."

Jane Eyre thanked him sincerely and bowed deeply to him.He hesitated for a moment, then opened the iron gate on the fence, and then left.

Jane Eyre opened the door, walked in, put the candles and puddings on the table, and said softly: "Lilith, do you want some puddings? There are still some puddings I made yesterday, maybe you I haven't tasted it before, it's much softer than cake."

Lilith didn't speak, her pale lips were tightly pressed together, pretending to be asleep.But the twitching muscles of her face and trembling eyelids revealed the fact that she was still awake.

"I know you're still awake, Lilith." Jane Eyre opened the box, and the milky aroma of the pudding wafted out, which was especially alluring in the damp musty smell, "No matter how bitter life is, you need a little sweetness to persevere Don't you want to know how Wickham is?"

Lilith still didn't open her eyes, but Jane Eyre noticed that her hands folded on her abdomen unconsciously clenched.

"Wickham was seriously injured, but he was lucky and didn't seriously hurt his internal organs. After half a year of recuperation, he can go back to Cambridge to go to school again." Jane Eyre noticed that Lilith bit her lower lip and her chest was heaving. It seemed that It wasn't that she was unresponsive to this, she decided to change her tone to stimulate her, "You are just a book he turned over in his life, maybe he accidentally scratched his hand, but he is still the one who was hurt. He is respected and famous. There are still a steady stream of girls who are seduced by his handsome appearance and follow suit."

"And you, who are about to be kicked out of Pemberley Manor, may starve to death, may become a mistress, and may be sold into a gold cave by gangsters—it just so happens that you will not be able to get pregnant again, how lucky!" Jane Eyre took advantage of the situation Add oil, it really works.

Lilith opened her eyes, and the tears inside couldn't be held anymore. She sobbed and screamed in a low voice: "Lucky? Why am I born the same as him, but he is a high-ranking son! And I'm just a lowly Maid!—But, I do love him..."

"Miss Eyre, you must not understand love! I see puzzlement and disdain in your calm eyes, just like old Charlie and Mrs. Reynolds! Is my love too cheap? A maid is Don't you deserve love?"

"Of course you are entitled to love! Lilith." Jane Eyre's heart skipped a beat at her accusation, and she was even a little embarrassed, "But at the same time, you climbed into Mr. Darcy's bed— "

"That's what old Charlie made me do!" sobbed Lilith, her chest heaving, her hands clutching the quilt tightly, "he added something to my tea and made me Mr. Darcy's mistress, so that he could I got the money and continued to gamble! But Mr. Darcy kicked me out, and I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune, but I just happened to meet Wickham. Under the urging of the love elixir, I and He experienced the most wonderful night in my life, we entangled in his room all night, I felt unprecedentedly happy, and he couldn't resist my temptation—ha! Miss Eyre, your blush Already!"

It's not because she is too innocent, although she knows what's going on and has seen the "audio-visual materials", but she has never experienced such an experience in her previous life or in this life.Lilith's tone was ambiguous and sentimental, which made her face blush.

"...And then? How did you get into that with him last night?"

Lilith's eyes froze, she frowned in pain, lifted the quilt, got up and sat beside Jane Eyre.Jane Eyre handed her the spoon, and saw her tearfully swallow the delicate and sweet pudding in big gulps.

"I wanted to get out of here with him, I lied to him about having his baby - I didn't know it then, I was really pregnant - but he dismissed it and accused me of ruining his life! But What did he know? He was so well protected, he was like a baby."

"Miss Eyre, this story is too long... I have complained more than once about why Amanda married a villain like old Charlie. He is dissolute, cruel and rude, not only shouting at me and Amanda, but also unhappy Just whip us... She's dead for relief, but old Charlie's gambling again!"

"When I was beaten half to death by him again and all my savings were robbed, George appeared...he called a doctor for me. His sapphire-like eyes sparkled, illuminating my dying heart. He is wearing a beautiful blue suit, his golden hair is like sunlight, and his delicate skin is like suet..."

Jane Eyre suddenly remembered the "same birth" she said earlier, and suddenly felt a sense of disobedience: "You said you were born the same as him? But his father, old Mr. Darcy's friend and best assistant! And old Charlie..." Suddenly she realized something, her eyes were full of disbelief, Lilith also had brilliant blond hair, "His father! Could it be..."

"Miss Jane, you guessed it." Lilith smiled bitterly, dropped the spoon in her hand, and made a "ding" sound, "When I realized that he might be my... brother, I already with him..."

Jane Eyre was shocked, Lilith was still pregnant!Now it seems that the loss of this child is still a good thing!Jane Eyre stood up and wanted to move around anxiously, but she heard Lilith continue to say: "But maybe he is not his father's child."

"What?" The words really twisted.

Lilith shook her head and showed a sarcastic smile: "How ridiculous, his mother and my mother have a similar fate... They were both forced to marry bastards after being violated, and his mother— —”

A doctor's voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting Lilith's words.The door was opened.Jane Eyre turned her head to look at the door, behind Mr. Darcy was the sunlight that couldn't wait to pour in, and stepped into the darkness of this room.
