husband in india, wife pregnant.

I watched this movie three or four years ago…. the plot goes something like this: taking place in either the late 1800s or early 1900s in England, a woman is employed as a secretary of sorts to a Lady. she herself is from better family, but is down on her luck. at a dinner party, one of the guests cancels, and the Lady, to keep the table looking good, asks her to fill its place. the Lady’s nephew/son, the heir to some title, soon notices her. he later asks her to marry him, since he has pressure to marry someone to continue his line, but is heartbroken from his previous wife’s death. they marry, and she is taken to his countryside home. they are somewhat awkward, but soon fall in love. then for some reason he is called away on business in India. not long after he is gone, his brother arrives, with his indian wife and mother-in-law with him. everything goes smoothly for a while, but soon she realizes she is pregnant. the household staff dislikes the presence of the brother and his wife and mother-in-law, but they are soon either murdered or scared away. when the brother realizes she is pregnant, he plans to kill her so that the title will pass to him. they administer poison, but she catches on and secretly disposes of it. unknown to them, the husband is on his way home. he arrives and the indian wife distracts him while her mother goes to suffocate her with a pillow. she tells him that his wife died in childbirth, and he is heartbroken. he begins talking of their recently discovered love for each other, and the indian wife begins to cry, finally saying “you can still save her” puzzled, he runs upstairs and saves his wife from being killed.
