Pride and Prejudice of Jane Eyre

Mr. Darcy stared at Jane Eyre's thin face, and wanted to stretch out his hand to help her brush away the hair sticking to her lips. Her hair was completely untied, and during the violent struggle, the hair tie fell to the ground. .Her collar was unbuttoned by two buttons, revealing her delicate collarbone and snow-white skin.

His fingers trembled a few times, but he still clenched his fist.He got up slowly, and slowly lowered the soft silk bed curtain to block his sight.

"Ah——" Louis wailed in pain, a bullet was shot into his shoulder blade by Mr. Darcy, and his right arm was stained red with blood.Mr. Darcy frowned when he heard the shrill cry, and after seeing Jane Eyre didn't respond through the curtain, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, rolled it up, and stuffed it roughly into Louis's mouth.

At this moment, Matthew arrived, completely calm about the bloody scene in front of him, took out a thick rope from his bag, and tied Louis into a dumpling.The doctor arrived in a hurry with a medicine box on his back, and was arranged by Matthew to check on Jane Eyre's condition first. Mr. Darcy nodded approvingly.

Mr. Darcy raised his leg, kicked the struggling Louis to the ground, and stepped on his wound with his toes. His voice was suppressed and calm: "Mr. Louis, you are a smart man. Don't try to get revenge on Mr. Love and Jane. , I spared your life entirely for your father's sake."

Mr. Louis woke up in an instant, his eyes widened, bloodshot eyes were about to burst from his eyeballs, and his roar was squeezed out of his throat like a beast.

"The young Mrs. Louis has given birth to a child now. I don't think old Mr. Louis will be distraught because of your... accident. He must have more than one heir."

Mr. Louis froze. He leaned against the foot of the main table and closed his eyes.Mr. Darcy moved his feet, squatted down, pressed the smoking gun to Louis' chest, took out the handkerchief, and threw it aside in disgust.Louis trembled slightly, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Mr. Darcy, I can make this deal with you."

"Sir, it's not a deal. I'm ordering you." Mr. Darcy tapped his chin with the gun/barrel.

"That piece of land!" Mr. Louis said eagerly, "The piece of land that John Eyre failed to bid for is in my hands! I can give that piece of land to you! A road will be built there, and you are here to invest. Know how much it's worth!" Louis raised his eyes, faced those cold gray-blue eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you let me go!"

"Bang!" There was a loud noise at the door, and John appeared at the door. He heard Louis' voice, but he didn't hold on to his cane, and fell to the ground. Lilith and Briggs followed behind him, holding him fast over him.

"You did that bidding!" John was trembling with anger, and Briggs was also full of disbelief. He squeezed John's hand tightly, and John closed his eyes remorsefully, "I actually did it because of you and Lu Sien's tricks have made my most loyal friend and lawyer suspicious." Mr. Briggs sighed deeply, and put his arms around John's weak back.

Lilith lowered her head and took a step back.She hid behind the two of them, and quietly raised her head to look at the former owner - only to see that he looked at her in disbelief.Lilith felt an unspeakable sense of shame in her heart, and she lowered her head deeply.

Mr. Briggs took John and sat down on the single armchair next to Jane Eyre's bed, and asked about Jane Eyre's situation carefully.Mr. Darcy no longer cared about the disgraceful criminal under his feet, and gestured for Matthew and the servants to drag him out.

"Doctor, how is my daughter? Why hasn't she woke up?" John looked at Jane Eyre's pale face, full of self-blame.

After checking Jane Eyre's pupillary radiation and listening to her heartbeat carefully, the doctor took off the stethoscope and comforted her: "Miss Eyre had two impacts on the head, but they were not too serious, and no medicine was needed. After waking up, you may have dizziness and vomiting symptoms, which are normal, as long as you rest with peace of mind, you don’t have to worry too much.” He added, “Her body is protecting itself, maybe it was too much a while ago. She's too tired and hasn't had a good rest. Just let her have a good sleep."

Mr Darcy and John breathed a sigh of relief.After John was relieved, he looked at the adopted daughter lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her eyes were red.Because she suffered so much, she almost pushed her into the abyss!

"Mr. Love, blaming yourself won't change anything. I'm willing to help Louis pay the price!" Mr. Darcy promised.

After hearing what he said, Lilith finally stood up after struggling and said in a low voice: "Mr. Darcy, Miss Jane is my savior. If you and Mr. Love agree, I have an idea that can ruin Mr. Louis' reputation." !"

Mr. Darcy looked at her. This was not the Lilith he had known.Her features had not changed, and were even more bewildering under the baptism of the tropical sun; but her expression was more determined than ever, and her green eyes were like a burning flame.

"If Mr. Ai is willing, I would like to borrow the study."

"If you want, Mr. Darcy." John stood up with the strength of Briggs, "You must want to tell me more than what you just said."

The old man in front of him seemed to see through his mind. Under his gaze, Mr. Darcy felt that his secret emotions could not be hidden.He nodded, took his hand, and helped John back to the study.

Early the next morning, the fishermen who were sorting their nets at the port discovered that Mr. Briggs of El Manor was carrying his iconic suitcase and boarded the passenger ship that regularly traveled between Madeira and England.

"Smart John Eyre must have a new business! It seems that the British guy has put the wallet in his pocket!" People in the city were talking about it. The night before, Mr. Darcy's carriage did not leave. El Manor left.

In the clothing store and hat shop where the ladies gathered, they were all talking about this matter: "It seems that Mr. Love and Mr. Darcy have reached a deal! Look at how close their relationship is! Darcy Mister actually stayed in El Manor—he must have taken a fancy to that Jane Eyre, right?"

Lilith raised her head in front of the counter, her face was pale and fragile, and she was still trembling faintly.

"Lila, what's the matter with you?" Lucy, the owner, asked with concern, "Do you need hot water? Are you feeling unwell?" Her concern drew the attention of other customers in the store. Lilith shook her head and spoke softly. She replied angrily: "No...it's okay! I just have needle holes in my eyes." As she spoke, she took out a silk scarf from her cuff and wiped her eyes, but her voice was about to choke.

Lilith knew that behind her, the group of people who were following the dynamics of El Manor must be quietly talking about her.She put away the silk scarf, her eyes became redder, and tears glistened in the corners of her eyes.

She hurriedly asked for a few hats that were placed in front of the counter, and after paying, she left with her head down.

"El Manor doesn't look peaceful!" Nancy came out from the dressing room, with the maid holding her skirt behind her.She snorted coldly, raised her head, and stood in front of the mirror, looking at the newly made dress.Lucy came out from behind the counter and also bent down to adjust the skirt for her.Under the dark blue skirt was the hip pads that are popular in Britain at this time. Nancy twisted pickily, looked at her own voluptuous and plump curves in the mirror, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Even if Miss Ai returns to her mother's womb, she won't have a perfect figure like yours!" Nancy's personal maid, Annie, whispered flattery in her ear—she knew what her lady cared most about.Sure enough, Nancy showed a provocative and self-satisfied smile, and she sighed exaggeratedly: "Oh! Don't say that, Mr. Louis is still following her tricks! We people have to admit that she Money attracts men more than any beauty! Look at her maid—"

"Nancy! Something is wrong! Mr. Louis turned out to be that kind of person! Fortunately, you—" Nancy immediately covered the mouth of the person who came, and glanced at the other people in the store in a panic, only to see that they all pretended not to As if hearing it, they looked at the things in their respective hands, but from the corner of their eyes, they paid attention to this place with gossip.

Someone tore off her hand and shouted anxiously: "You still don't know? Mr. Louis was just found in the port covered in blood!"

"What?" Nancy was taken aback and grabbed her hand, "Bella, tell me clearly, what happened to Mr. Louis?"

"I really didn't expect Mr. Louis to be this kind of person! Mr. Darcy stood up and admitted that he had injured Mr. Louis. He said that last night at El Manor, Lila, Miss Love's personal maid, was almost killed by Louis. kill!"

"Ah?" Nancy was stunned. "It must be related to Jane Eyre, right? What is this woman doing!"

"No!" Bella lowered her voice and eagerly "whispered" in her ear—although her voice could be heard by all the customers in the store, they unanimously slowed down the movements of their hands and paid close attention to it. , "It is said that Lila bumped into it, bumped into it—Mr. Louis was about to..." She couldn't speak, and bit her lower lip tightly.

Nancy was very anxious and urged: "What's the matter! Tell me quickly!"

"Oh!" Bella glanced at Nancy's face, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Louis is about to rape a man! Lila saw it, so he's going to El Manor to silence him!"

Nancy was completely stunned, but Lilith's reaction just now made her believe in this matter, and the next second, she fell straight down. "Ah! Miss!" Anne and Lucy rushed to catch her, and the ladies and maids in the shop looked at each other with various expressions, and then all surrounded her.

When Jane Eyre woke up, she saw the darkness in front of her eyes, and almost thought she was blind.She turned over slightly, and the bed made a creaking sound.

"Miss Jane! You finally woke up!" Lilith's voice woke up immediately, she was lying on the bed, dozing off.Before Jane Eyre could answer, she opened the door immediately, and the warm yellow candlelight spilled into the room through the crack of the door.Seeing the light again, Jane Eyre finally let go of her heart.She touched her head and found that there were two lumps on the back of her head, and the skin was not broken, so she knew that she was fine.

Lilith quickly walked in with a candlestick.

"When is it?" Jane Eyre coughed, startled by her hoarse voice.

"You've been in a coma for more than a day! It's past twelve o'clock in the evening." Lilith put the candlestick on her desk and sat by her bed, "Do you remember? You must be hungry , the kitchen is always preparing food."

"Help me up, Lilith." Jane Eyre ordered, she couldn't do it herself.After Lilith helped her up, she felt dizzy for a while, "I might not be able to eat—I'm so dizzy. Go and get me some hot water!" She actually felt a little chilly.

There was never any hot water in the room, and Lilith ran out immediately after agreeing.

Jane Eyre supported the bedpost, endured the nausea, and after a while, decided not to lie down anymore.So supporting himself, he slowly moved to the desk and sat down.

The broken window glass has all been cleaned up, new windows should be installed, and thick curtains have been drawn down.Jane Eyre rummaged through the table by candlelight—her poetry collection was gone!

She remembered that the collection of poems was trampled dirty by Louis, and the last page was also trampled off.But Lilith will definitely not throw away her things casually, logically, it should be placed on the table!Jane Eyre opened the drawer again, took out all the letters, but did not find them.

She was a little anxious, stood up with the help of the table, groped the wall, and walked slowly to the door—there was nothing on the ground.

Lilith quickly brought water, and she seemed to be looking for something.Jane Eyre asked her about the whereabouts of the collection of poems, but she didn't know either.Lilith helped her sit down at the table. "Lilith, don't worry about me, go and rest first." Lilith was very anxious and just wanted to guard her, but Jane Eyre advised her: "You must have not rested for a long time, go to sleep first, I'm fine."

Lilith had no choice but to leave: "I'm right outside, Miss. If you need anything, you must call me." Jane Eyre nodded in agreement.

After Lilith closed the door, Jane Eyre sat on the spot and stared blankly for a while.Her movements were still a little sluggish, and the darkness of the room made her a little out of breath. After being stuffy for a while, she got up and opened the curtains.

The clouds in the sky were very light that night, and the bright moonlight illuminated Madeira.Jane Eyre opened the window again, and the cool sea breeze and the silvery moonlight calmed down the hotness in her heart all at once.She turned her gaze to the garden outside the window, and the replanted roses faintly exuded a rich fragrance under the window sill.

But this kind of scenery is far inferior to the gray-blue eyes of the man in front of him.

Mr. Darcy is sitting on the sun lounger in the garden outside the window of Jane Eyre, with a book on his lap—it is the collection of poems that Jane Eyre has just been looking for for a long time.He heard the sound of the window being opened behind him, got up slowly, and turned to look at her.

"There is a word that is often profaned, and I have no intention to prosecute it again." He recited in a low voice, and slowly walked towards her amidst the fragrance of flowers, "There is a feeling of being falsely despised by others, and you will not despise it too. "

Jane Eyre clenched her hands tightly, her heart was beating extremely fast, she took a step back tremblingly, but was tripped by a stool.

"Your compassion is incomparable and warms my heart." Mr. Darcy stood still in front of her window sill, raised his head, his eyes were crystal clear under the moonlight.

"I can't show what people call 'love'", his voice became tight/astringent, "but I wonder if you will accept it, the reverence this heart can offer?*"
