[Jane Eyre] The mad woman in the attic is reborn

Rochester ran out of the church, and Jane Eyre followed him back to Thornfield Manor.Mrs. Fairfax, watching the heavy faces of the two, knew that something must be wrong.

Jane Eyre stood by the sofa and looked at Rochester who was sitting there. She walked over, squatted down, raised her head and asked him softly: "Oh sir, what happened, you can tell me."

Rochester stretched out his hand to hold Jane Eyre's face, and said very sadly: "Jane, I'm sorry, I can't hold the wedding ceremony with you now, but the reason, I'm sorry, I still can't tell you."

It was a day full of enthusiasm and anticipation. She put on a noble pearl-colored wedding dress and walked into the palace with the man in front of her. She was only one step away from becoming Mrs. Rochester.

Jane Eyre's eyes gradually became moist, tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, and fell into Rochester's palm, "My dear God, I am very sad, why is this happening?"

Rochester raised his head and wiped away the tears on her face, and said sorry in a low voice.He said to Jane Eyre: "Jane, are you willing to stay with me like this? I really love you. In my heart, you are my bride and my wife."

"No, without the blessing of God and the pastor, our marriage will not be happy." Jane Eyre said with tears.

Rochester bowed his head sadly and kissed Jane Eyre's forehead, hesitatingly said: "No, Jane, listen to me, I love you, please don't leave me..."

His appearance made people feel distressed, Jane Eyre spread out on the carpet, took Rochester's hand, and said earnestly: "Then please give me a legal wedding ceremony, let me be your wife, and I will never leave you for the rest of my life. "

Hearing her words, Rochester's face immediately changed, his hands trembled, and he stepped back, expressing the most real and unavoidable thoughts in his heart.

Seeing Rochester's subconscious reaction, Jane Eyre's heart sank to the bottom, she heard her bloodless voice, and asked tremblingly: "Aren't you willing to marry me?"

"No, it's not like this..." Rochester kept murmuring, but he couldn't tell Jane Eyre the specific reason.

He had no way to tell everyone that he already had a wife, and that person was Bertha Mason, a mad woman, and he couldn't bear to live with her, so he locked her up in the attic.Now she is still alive, so he can't marry the person he loves most as his wife, and he can't express his pain.

Jane Eyre anxiously said: "What's that like? Please tell me, don't let me be in such torment, please tell me quickly."

——"He can't marry you, and he never will be able to marry you."

A voice suddenly came from the top of the building, Rochester and Jane Eyre were stunned for a moment, subconsciously looked up and saw a person lying on the railing of the stairs on the third floor, watching with great interest what happened below.

Jane's heart sank, "Who are you?"

Who is she?

Probably no one knew better than Rochester. Rochester immediately stood up in shock, looked up into her eyes, and said sternly: "Who allowed you to come out?! Grace, Grace! Lock her up for me!" , Grace!"

Like a wild beast, he rushed out and stood in the middle of the hall on the first floor, staring fiercely at the person standing on the third floor, as if he wanted to make a hole in her and tear her to pieces.

Bertha stood upstairs, watching with interest the madness of her so-called husband below, the more he lost control, the corners of Bertha's mouth opened further.

At the same time, just for an instant, an instant of one tenth of a second.

The door of the hall suddenly opened, and a person walked in from the outside. He raised his hand and took off his hat, and handed it to the assistant behind him in a gentlemanly way. His jaw slightly raised, and he saw the woman standing on the third floor who was smiling wantonly. The moment their eyes meet, the dust in the air is lingering.

Fernard froze for a moment, the woman stood there tall, with the corners of her mouth raised in a rage, her posture was like the most destructive Shura in the world, and she was watching all the masterpieces she planned with indulgence.

Mrs. Fairfax was so frightened that she immediately rushed upstairs, intending to lock up the person who sneaked out at some time, so as to stop the farce.

Jane Eyre turned around and stood up, her eyes were also fixed on the woman upstairs. She had seen that black cloak before. When she was at the gate of Thornfield Manor in the morning, that black figure was her.

She took a deep breath and turned to ask Rochester, "Sir, who is she?"

Rochester looked at the unusually calm Jane Eyre, as if his heart had been stabbed severely, he subconsciously stretched out his hand towards her, "No, Jane, she is a lunatic."

Jane Eyre backed away abruptly, avoiding like a snake and a scorpion. She held back her tears, and with a firm attitude, she asked again: "Mr. Rochester! Who is she?"

A question was asked aloud, but no one answered.Rochester stood where he was, unable to say anything.

Fernard quietly watched the farce. Everyone in the room was immersed in sorrow and pain, but he only thought it was funny.This kind of mistress case, he has to deal with two or three cases almost a month in Jamaica.

However, this scene seems to be different.He raised his head and quietly looked at the people in the attic. Even though her clothes were worn out, a large white arm was exposed, and there were some bruises on it. It could be seen that she had a bad life and must have suffered a lot of pain.

But the first time he saw her, Fernard could tell that she was his employer. The lawyer sent by Feige from Jamaica was Bertha Mason, who had appeared in the Spanish city of Seville's art exhibition.

The room was full of people, and she was probably the only one watching this absurd scene, enjoying it endlessly.

Standing there, Jane Eyre felt that she had fallen into an ice hole, and the surroundings were shivering. She looked at the man in front of her coldly, took two steps and stood in front of him, staring at his face, and asked solemnly: "Is it because Is she? All your abnormalities today are because of this woman, aren't you? "

Rochester looked at the desperate Jane Eyre in pain, and he hugged her distressedly, "Jane, please believe me."

Jane Eyre smiled bitterly: "Believe it? How do you tell me to believe you? Dear Mr. Edward Rochester."

Seeing Rochester who was suddenly speechless, Bertha suddenly laughed out loud. She walked down, passed by Mrs. Fairfax who was standing aside, walked up to Jane Eyre, and said with a light smile, "Oh, dear Miss Eyre, I've heard of you, you must be Adela's teacher, right?"

After speaking, he turned to Rochester beside him and asked with a smile, "Sir, why didn't you mention it to me?"

Bertha took off the jade bracelet from her hand, put it on Jane Eyre's hand, and said unhurriedly: "It was the first time I met Miss Eyre, and I really didn't have any preparations. This bracelet was made by me and Mr. Rochester in Rotherham If you bought it, don't mind."

As expected, when Jane Eyre heard her words, tears filled her eyes, she could hardly lift her head, held back her tears, turned around and hid in the room.

Seeing this, Rochester shook off Bertha who was beside him, "You madman!" Then he also chased after him.

Bertha was slammed back by him, staggered on her heels, almost lost her footing and fell over. Suddenly, a hand came up and only gently supported her elbow.

Bertha raised her head in a daze, and then she noticed the person who came in just now. She smiled, revealing the silver necklace around her neck, and said after a moment of stupefaction, "Oh, I know you. You're in Mandeville."

Fernard raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly, curled the corners of his mouth, said inadvertently, "Really? Dear Mrs. Bertha, in my impression, I was only at the exhibition in Seville, Spain. I saw you in a painting."
