Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Chapter 39 Pemberley Manor

"Here you are, Miss Jane." Mr. Darcy strode in, with his open coat blown by the wind as he marched, looking quite imposing.He didn't look at Lilith, but looked straight at Jane Eyre. Under the dim light, she couldn't see his expression clearly from a distance.

Jane Eyre stood up, suddenly feeling a guilty conscience of being caught.

"Sorry, I just wanted to see how Lilith is—"

"Miss Warren is looking for you, Miss Jane." Mr. Darcy casually said an excuse that no one would believe, no matter he was in the basement now, there was a beautiful and weak girl in front of him.Lilith let out a mocking sneer, she wiped the corners of her mouth indiscriminately, and stood up, regardless of the loose buttons of the nightdress on her chest, revealing her full breasts.She saluted in vain, and lay down on the bed regardless of whether the master paid attention to her or not.

Jane Eyre looked at his darkened eyes at this moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help clenching her teeth.She still wanted to say something, but she saw Mr. Darcy stepped forward, stretched out his right hand to restrain her wrist, and pulled her away without hesitation.

Jane Eyre was frightened by his action, and subconsciously wanted to break free, but was stuck tightly: "Mr. Darcy, where is Miss Warren? I can go by myself!" Mr. Darcy did not answer, and took her to the big room. Pull at the door.His facial muscles were also tense, and he stopped looking at her, his lips were tightly pressed together, and the corners of his mouth drooped.It's clearly not a pleasant look.

His steps were too big, and Jane Eyre was petite, so she couldn't keep up, and was dragged staggeringly towards the exit of the basement.She hurriedly glanced at Lilith behind her.Lilith was looking at their backs with a blank expression on her face.The sunlight from above obliquely hit her behind. Half of her face was in the sunlight, and half of her face could not be seen clearly.

A burst of anger rose in Jane's heart.I don't know who the anger was directed at, maybe the two Mr. Darcys, maybe the two Wickhams, or maybe old Charlie.From Lilith's words, it can be seen that the grievances of the previous generation caused the tragedy of her and her mother, and this tragedy has now involved more people.The goddess of fate always loves to play tricks on people, and her sweet dream was also broken by a sudden true desire.

Mr. Darcy's pace was too fast, and Jane Eyre couldn't keep up when going up the stairs, and she stepped on the skirt mopping the floor by accident.One of her arms was pulled by Mr. Darcy, and it was difficult to maintain balance and support. When she was about to hit the stairs on her face, she closed her eyes tightly.

Unexpected pain, Mr. Darcy finally came to his senses, his right hand tried his best to hold her back from falling to the ground.His left hand rested under her head.

"Hiss—" Mr. Darcy gasped, and both of them fell to the ground.Mr. Darcy's left arm protected her head, and Jane Eyre's profile fell into a cold hand.And the back of his hand hit the steps hard.

"God! Mr. Darcy, Miss Eyre, are you all right?" Bessie was taken aback by this sudden scene. She had seen Mr. Darcy enter the basement with a fierce expression, and she was sweating for Jane Eyre; And when he dragged her out, his face was expressionless.Bessie couldn't help worrying about Jane Eyre, lest she offend Mr. Darcy.But they didn't expect that the plot took a sharp turn and they were about to fall, but Mr. Darcy protected Miss Ai in a gentlemanly manner regardless of the past!

The doctor was also taken aback and wanted to step forward to check the situation.But the stairs leading to the basement were too narrow, Mr. Darcy and Miss Eyre fell to the ground at the same time, and he had no place to stay.

Jane Eyre's tightly closed eyes opened, and the colors under the sun rushed into her eyes.A piece of translucent gray-blue has attracted all her attention.She felt a chill on her cheek, and the blood rushed to her face.Mr. Darcy fell with her, and half of his body made a pad for her.

"Miss Jane, if you come to your senses, please get up." Mr. Darcy frowned tightly, showing pain.Jane Eyre came to her senses and quickly got up. "I'm sorry! Mr. Darcy, I stepped on my skirt - your steps are too big, I can't keep up..." Jane Eyre's voice became smaller and smaller, she didn't expect Mr. Darcy to sacrifice his life to save her.However, a corner of her skirt was held down by Mr. Darcy, she stood up abruptly, but was brought back by the inertia.

Mr. Darcy quickly grabbed her waist.The back of his left hand was slammed against the stairs with great force, the skin was torn, bloodshot, and it was instantly bruised.Jane Eyre was at a loss and pulled out the hem of her skirt, stood up, stepped forward to help him up, Mr. Darcy froze for a moment, then put his right arm on her shoulder, clenched his left hand, and stood up.The doctor also hastened down the stairs to examine Mr. Darcy.

"Help me up." Seeing that the doctor had come down, Mr. Darcy ordered the doctor to help him up.The doctor took his hand, and Jane Eyre hurriedly escaped.Mr. Darcy looked at the ground, dodging a little.She didn't notice the change in his attitude and was full of self-blame.

Seeing that the doctor helped Mr. Darcy out, Bessie hurried forward to check Jane Eyre's condition.

"Miss Eyre, what's wrong with you? You must be hurt too." Bessie wanted to check her condition immediately, but Jane Eyre shook her head. She felt her waist and crotch being hit. Injuries are also not suitable for inspection in public.

"It's okay, Bessie. I don't feel very serious, and I didn't hurt my bones, thanks to Mr. Darcy." Jane Eyre clutched her waist, guessing that it should be bruised, and there was no broken skin between the heavy clothes.Mr. Darcy paused on hearing her words, but made no answer.

Mr. Darcy ordered the doctor to take him to his room for examination.Bessie also sent Jane Eyre back to her room.All the way there was no further conversation until, on the bedroom floor, Mrs. Reynolds was directing the servants to put on new carpets, and saw both the host and the guest injured and in a state of confusion.

Georgiana heard the movement in the aisle, and came out with Adele to check the situation, and was taken aback by the two who seemed to be injured.Mr. Darcy sent them back to the room in a few words, and when he was about to enter the bedroom, he turned his head and glanced at Jane Eyre, who was supported by the maid, and slowly turned around the corner.

The old doctor has been very busy these days, and four patients came out of Pemberley Manor all at once.But what puzzled him was that Mr. Darcy asked him to check Miss Eyre's wounds first. Obviously, his own condition was more serious, but he only asked his students to apply medicine for him.

"What a gentleman Mr. Darcy is!" he exclaimed to his pupil. "How is Lilith?"

The young doctor Jack reported to him: "Her body is in good condition, and she can already walk on the ground. Her abdominal wound is not deep, and it has healed [-]% to [-]%. She just needs to rest. But she had an abortion, and her body is inevitably very weak. , but she refused to take medicine, she has been unwilling to speak, and she has no reaction to my actions."

"There are quite a few maids like this." The old doctor shook his head, "It's really stupid! It's better to live an honest life than trying to reach the sky in one step."

Jack was unbearable.He is still a young man with aspirations, he wants to heal the pain of all patients, and he also wants to heal their hearts.When the old doctor saw his appearance, he knew that his "Holy Father" heart had broken out again.He just sighed. When he was young, he was also full of kindness. He also met such a woman and tried his best to treat her. She insisted on giving birth to a child, but pushed herself into a cruel pit of fire.

In the past few days, Jane Eyre has not had the chance to see Lilith again, and Lisa seems to have got the master's order not to let her go in the direction of the basement.Follow her closely every time she wants to go out.Bessie came to her once and told her that the women in the basement refused to take medicine. Only when she brought pudding, she was silent for a long time, ate the pudding obediently while crying.

The words that day stopped abruptly, and when she recalled it alone, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.According to Lilith's words, she and Wickham are not real brother and sister, her father is old Wickham.And Wickham's biological father—probably old Mr. Darcy! ?

It was no wonder that Wickham was so loved by old Darcy, and even in the will, he had to arrange his future way out.But does Mr. Darcy know about this matter?And what role did the three women—old Mrs. Darcy, Wickham's mother and Lilith's mother—play in it?

She told herself not to mind her own business; these were Pemberley's business.But from her 200 years later, the sense of responsibility and compassion she was taught has been urging her to find out what she really wants and save this girl.She feels that Lilith is absolutely not guilty of death, and she is also a victim in it.As an "accomplice" or even a "perpetrator", Wickham is still alive and well!

Jane Eyre wants to talk to Mr. Darcy.

But at the dinner table, Mr. Darcy never said a word, even if his sister kept chattering about what he and Adele had done in the past few days, he just nodded symbolically. And boredom made Georgiana sulky.

"What's going on with my brother recently?" Georgiana complained to Jane Eyre, "No matter how busy he was before, he never did this! I don't know which lady can tolerate him in the future!"

Jane Eyre was speechless about this.She guessed that Mr. Darcy was angry because she had gone to see Lilith, but she did not understand what he was angry about.He was the one who got her involved in the first place, and he was the one who was angry about it now.

Mr. Darcy is hard to see all day long, and when Jane Eyre walks with the two ladies on the promenade, she occasionally meets Mr. Darcy.But he was always followed by lawyers, butlers and bookkeepers, who often just nodded and left without saying a word.Jane Eyre could only look at their backs, and when he heard the entourage, he kept giving orders to the assistants.

' Also, managing such a large industry is not easy.Mr. Darcy had his reasons for not caring about us. 'Jane Eyre thought calmly.

But even if she comforted herself in this way, when she was ignored by Mr. Darcy at the door of the study again, her temper also came up.

"Mr. Darcy, can we have a talk?" Jane Eyre saw that there was no one around him, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry, so she rushed up and stopped him.
