Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

"Jane, if I hadn't gone to see George . . . "

"Georgianna, whether you went there or not, their actions have already happened!" Jane Eyre realized that Georgiana subconsciously blamed herself, "You found out this time, but must it be the first time?" ?”

Georgiana raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, and she was full of shock: "You mean... no wonder my brother told me to keep me away from George some time ago! But why didn't he tell me directly? "

"Would you believe it if Mr. Darcy told you directly?" Jane Eyre asked, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, with your deep feelings for George, you would not believe it easily." She thought to herself, 'Maybe even argue with Mr. Darcy, after all Wickham always slanders Mr. Darcy secretly.The Bennet sisters in the original book can be deceived by his few words, let alone Miss Darcy who grew up together? '

"Maybe I won't believe it, but I will definitely check it out!" Georgiana subconsciously argued, but she couldn't help blushing. She also knew her personality. If her brother told her George's true face, she would definitely feel that his brother was there. slander him!After all, George was always so pleasant, and his father was more loving to him than his brother... Even she couldn't help feeling jealous sometimes.

"Perhaps." Jane Eyre smiled knowingly, "It's just that we can't hide this matter. We must inform Mrs. Reynolds. She has seen a lot and must know what to do."

Georgiana's face was full of preoccupations, and she couldn't help shivering.It was getting dark outside, Jane Eyre rang the bell, and before the maid came, she raised the fire in the fireplace higher, took out a thick blanket from the cupboard, and let Georgiana sit on the chair in front of the fireplace , and put the blanket over her knees.

"Jane, you take me for an old lady." Georgiana was amused by her series of actions.At this time, Lisa arrived, and Jane Eyre arranged for her to stay outside, so that Georgiana would not be afraid alone.

Jane Eyre picked up a candle, walked to the door, turned her head and said to Georgiana: "I'll go and tell Mrs. Reynolds that you stay here and don't move around, maybe there will be chaos outside in a while." It's just that neither of them is in the mood to explain to her.

"Mrs. Reynolds is in the dining room," Lisa said as she left. "She should still be there. I noticed just now that she called the kitchen to prepare an appetizer."

"Thank you, Lisa. Light up all the lights in the room, it's too dark." After Jane Eyre ordered, she quickly left with a candle in her hand.Georgiana sat in front of the fireplace, wrapped in a blanket, dreaming of the firelight.She hadn't fully recovered from the shock, and what she had just discovered hit her heart hard. She and George grew up together as siblings.But it can't be said that there is no good feeling at all.Georgiana has always been well protected. In her eyes, her parents and eldest brother have always been noble and dignified people. She never thought that George, who was so young and beautiful in front of others, would do such a dirty thing with the maid.

Jane Eyre stood at the top of the stairs, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to go up to confirm whether they were still there—but after thinking about it, Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Reynolds must not be without evidence. Discover all this by yourself, so that it will be unforgettable enough.

She walked downstairs quickly, almost running, the thick carpet made slight dull footsteps, and the candlelight faltered in the rapid movement.

"Mrs. Reynolds!" Jane Eyre pushed open the door of the restaurant and exhaled.Mrs. Reynolds was handling the cutlery, while the maid was supporting a stack of exquisite silver cutlery.

"What's the matter? Miss Jane." Mrs. Reynolds was bending over and looking at her.Jane Eyre gestured for her to come out and speak.Mrs. Reynolds walked out of the bright dining room without haste, ordering the servants to get on with their work.

The aisle outside the dining room was dark, only Jane Eyre was holding a candle.Jane Eyre pulled Mrs. Reynolds behind the door, took a step forward, and whispered in her ear, "Miss Darcy just found out that Wickham and Lilith were having an affair." Mrs. Reynolds clenched her hands tightly, her veins suddenly After getting up, Jane Eyre quickly explained: "She went to visit Wickham just now, and heard movement at the door. She came to me in a panic, and I put her in my room, and I came to inform you!"

Mrs. Reynolds took a deep breath, a little nervous and a little relieved: "Miss Jane, thank you for telling me this. Next, please go back to your room immediately and wait for my news with Miss Darcy!"

"Don't you need my help?" Jane Eyre asked hastily.

"Don't let Wickham find you, Miss Jane." Mrs. Reynolds patted her on the shoulder, "The less people involved in this matter, the better, and Mr. Darcy doesn't want you to be caught by Wickham." I hate you." Although Mr. Darcy asked her for help, he didn't want her, a powerless orphan, to be remembered by the wicked.

'Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy has such a gentle and thoughtful side. 'Jane Eyre was a little surprised. Although the servants were full of praise for his kindness, the dispute between the two of them that day did make Jane Eyre label Mr. Darcy as "cold" and "above the landlord".

Jane Eyre is not very curious, and she knows how to be cautious. She did not refute Mrs. Reynolds' request, and confirmed that Mrs. Reynolds was about to lead someone to solve the adulterous affair between Wickham and Lilith, so she returned to room up.Mrs. Reynolds ordered another rough maid to take her back to her room.

Mrs. Reynolds felt a sense of tension in her heart that "the matter will finally be settled", so she arranged for Georgia, the most useful maid around her, to guard the door of Wickham's room.

She immediately summoned two strong male servants—both young men who had had some troubles with Wickham, and Mr. Benjamin, the deputy housekeeper who was highly respected and retired to the second line.

"Reynolds, what's going on?" Mr. Benjamin was old, and although he had left his job, he was always well-dressed and carried a cane.When he saw Mrs. Reynolds' battle, he knew that there was a lot of trouble this time.Mrs. Reynolds explained the matter to him, concealing the role of Miss Darcy and Jane Eyre in it.Mr. Benjamin gasped: "Why did these two people get together!"

Mrs. Reynolds also had a cold face, and said: "Yes. Lilith is too dissolute, and Wickham is not a good person. He is still underage and has not taken over the work of the diocese! He actually made Such a thing, it is really a disgrace to his father and old Mr. Darcy's teaching."

Mr. Benjamin hesitated to speak, walking up and down on the spot with a cane anxiously.Mrs. Reynolds found his attitude very strange: "Mr. Benjamin, you have seen a lot, and you must have dealt with such things before, right? Why..." Why does he look so flustered and anxious?

Mr. Benjamin frowned and shook his head.His face was pale, and there were still a few drops of sweat oozing from his forehead, which was especially obvious under the flickering candlelight.

After the servants took the bundled utensils, the group went upstairs silently to Wickham's room.As soon as he went up to the fourth floor, he saw Georgia hiding at the turn of the stairs, monitoring the movement in Wickham's room.

"The door hasn't been opened, Mrs. Reynolds." Georgia reported in a low voice, "but I heard a faint sound of heavy objects falling from inside. It seems that something on the table was swept off."

"Okay, Georgia. Now go and inform Li Wen to let him harness the carriage!" Mrs. Reynolds ordered.She let Lilith leave Pemberley Manor directly after that as planned, and since Wickham is the godson of old Mr. Darcy, the specific arrangement needs to wait for Mr. Darcy to come back before giving an order.

Mrs. Reynolds gestured for them all to follow. Mr. Benjamin, regardless of his poor legs, walked in front of Mrs. Reynolds and protected her behind him.Mrs. Reynolds put her hand on his elbow and felt his muscles tense, not at all like an old man.

Mr. Benjamin's eyes were bright, he took the key out of his pocket, and put it back.He leaned his ear to the door, paying attention to the movement inside: "They are not outside the room anymore." He told others with his mouth and breath.Then he inserted the key into the keyhole - with a slight click, the door was opened.

There was no one outside, filled with a strong "heather flower" smell, and the two male servants showed embarrassment.On the couch in the outer room, the red velvet blanket was crumpled into a ball and hung empty.The wool on the carpet was stained in clumps, and the spots of white spots had dried.Mrs. Reynolds looked at the mess in front of her, and her face became darker.

The door leading to the inner room was ajar, and it was not locked, and there was no sound inside, and there was no movement that would make people blush and heartbeat as expected.

Mr. Benjamin let the two footmen come forward quietly, and kept Mrs. Reynolds behind him.He gestured with his hands: "three, two, one".The footman kicked Wickham's door open with one kick.

"God! What the hell happened!" Mrs. Reynolds pushed away the servant who was suddenly stunned in front of her. With the only light source from the fireplace inside, she saw the scene in front of her clearly, and exclaimed.Her legs were almost weak, Mr. Benjamin stretched out his arms around Mrs. Reynolds's arm after being shocked, and supported her.

The inner room is not as fragrant/flashy and charming as guessed——

Wickham was lying on his side on the bed, with a knife sticking out of his chest, and the colored gemstones on the handle were smeared together by thick blood.He was naked, frowning tightly, holding the sheet under his body in pain with one hand, and holding the handle of the knife on his chest with the other.He breathed weakly, trying to take a deep breath but was moaned/groaned in a low voice by the severe pain.His eyes were closed tightly, and the eyelids were twitching.The burgundy velvet blanket was covered with deep and shallow spots, and the blood stained the blanket black.

Lilith was also naked, and when she saw them coming in, she was not afraid or frightened, and even showed a faint smile of relief.With a pipe in her mouth, she sat on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed.The fire was burning behind her, the golden hair was surrounded by a golden halo, the long curly hair hung down on her chest, and her bumpy figure was indistinct.But none of the men present were attracted by her plump and seductive posture.

Beneath her body was the blood of Da Tan - there was a hideous knife mark on her abdomen.

The author has something to say: bet with passion!What happened to Lilith and Wickham...
