Grasp the farming script in the famous book

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Bai Ruide was sentenced for the murder case.

Many people in the city who knew Rhett came, but Roland did not see Melanie.

Roland thought: this is fine, if the result is not satisfactory, Melanie will be filled with righteous indignation, and she will probably be busy with the next plan and have no time to think about Melanie's feelings.

She turned her head to look at Philip sitting beside her—she had tied the most powerful district inspector in New Orleans to her boat.

Philip had a promise first. If Rhett was found guilty, Philip would have to make arrangements for her and help her escape from prison.

In Roland's view, such a trivial matter as robbing a prison is absolutely achievable.It can be done even without the "universal card".

It's just that the well-known planes of famous novels have been abruptly changed to "action planes" and "cop planes". If she and Rhett finally fled to the western United States together, there might be a "western plane", then It really became a pot of stew, a hodgepodge.

Things didn't necessarily turn around.

Before the sentencing, the prosecutor in New Orleans submitted some new evidence, and the court reopened the trial based on these new evidence.

One of the most important pieces of evidence came from the family of the dead Yankee.

After the police searched his home, they found that he had carefully studied Roland's daily movement trajectory, drew a very detailed road map, and marked the location where he planned to commit the crime on the road map.

This is terrifying—the jury broke into a cold sweat when they saw such a well-planned criminal plan, and they no longer had any sympathy for the deceased.Although those are white, they are also the scum of white people.

Rhett claimed that he would pass by that section of the embankment in New Orleans every day in a carriage, and happened to meet old Henry who fell off the carriage and fell half dead. He thought that these people were going to deal with him, but they mistook Roland for the Just him.

These remarks made the statement that Bai Ruide was "life-threatening" legally established.

"In addition, seeing three big men together bullying a woman, you can't just look at it like that."

Rhett added lazily in court at the time.

Needless to say, his declaration really won the favor of the jury.

After the trial, according to the lawyer, the probability of Ruide being found "not guilty" gradually changed from "basically impossible" to "a little bit possible".

At one point, the judge entered the courtroom and asked everyone to stand up.

Roland stood up with Philip, and she turned her gaze to Rhett.

Because the evidence continued to increase and the case was repeatedly postponed, Reid was locked up for two more months.

But maybe because Roland took care of it so well, he didn't look as dirty and haggard as a prisoner at all. He was neatly dressed, his beard was recently shaved, and he stood up like a polite gentleman.

He even gained a little weight.

This undoubtedly made everyone in the court feel good about Brad—he seemed frank and sincere, and had nothing to do with those vicious murderers.

But Roland remembered the first time she saw him at the fire station in Atlanta.

He was dressed sloppily at that time, and he had no money, but when he saw her, his eyes were the same as now, full of energy and hope.

Yes, easy--Rhett Brad has always been a free-spirited person.

Even if you put him in a harsh environment, put him in a shirt that hasn't been washed in days, wear a dirty cloak, and eat bad food.She thought that he would always have such an attitude.

Rhett's eyes turned twice on the auditorium seats. When he saw Roland, his eyes were filled with smiles; when he looked at Philip next to Roland, Rhett returned to his serious face and nodded slightly to Philip.

"Scarlett,"

Philip asked very softly in Roland's ear.

"are you ready?"

Philip had already discussed with Roland beforehand that if Rhett was convicted, they would immediately leave the court and take action.

Roland nodded without hesitation.

This scene was seen by Ruide, and the joy in his eyes became even more joyful.It seemed that he didn't even care about the outcome of the trial, but he cared about Roland's little gesture and expression.

The judge hit the hammer with a "bang" and began to pronounce the sentence.

The judgment was written very long, and it explained in detail the evidence and judgments submitted by both the prosecution and the defense, until the end was the result of the jury's collegial deliberation.

"Not guilty—"

The judge made the decision.

Applause erupted from the auditorium, and people congratulated Brad one after another, congratulating him for clearing his suspicions and getting rid of this prison disaster from now on.

Roland's reaction was half a beat slower than others.

She was so nervous that she couldn't even listen to the judge read the lengthy verdict.

She has been sorting out whether there is any omission in the plan in her mind: hand over Tara and Jia Le to Will and Carrie, hand over the restaurant to Mrs. Munro and Tony, hand over Little Wade and Prissy to Melanie...

And she wants to fulfill her promise to save Rhett—connecting his fate with her own.

So much so that when the result was announced, she was stunned before she realized it.

——I don’t need her to rob a prison or rob a court?

Seeing her like this, Philip beside him was both happy and a little sad. He stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder: "Silly boy."

At this moment, Roland finally came to her senses, and she quickly turned around and hugged Philip beside her.

"Thank you, Philip, thank you—"

"No, thank you too. Thank you for telling me..."

Philip bent down and hugged Roland, his voice became more choked, and he couldn't continue.

Maybe he finally figured it out afterwards. The facts Roland told him were of great significance to him. While making him feel regretful, it also solved another mystery: Ellen loved him to the end.

He will carry this love and regret to his grave.

"Okay, Scarlett, should I hand you over to Mr. Bai?"

Philip asked Roland gently.

It was only then that Roland realized that Rhett had appeared in front of her, and had already had a face-to-face meeting with Philip.

"Oh, Scarlett, I'm really sorry that I didn't see you robbing the execution ground in a heroic manner."

Roland: ...

She really wanted to "Yeah" this guy, did she just joke like that when they first met?

If I knew this... I should have really waited until the ropes on the gallows were around your neck before saving you.

"Scarlett—"

Rhett suddenly let out a long sigh, and put his arms around her shoulders as if no one else was there, "Let's leave this court and go directly to the church to get married."

Roland felt his heart skip a beat again.

Is this a marriage proposal?

She has never thought about getting married in this plane.

It's not like she hasn't "married" in "reality shows" before, but because she is farming the plane, it's like running a house wine.But now, she felt that Ruide had really moved his heart, and his emotions would eventually lead to marriage, but this was something she was not ready for and could not bear.

"Oh, Scarlett—"

Rhett let go of his strong and powerful arms, with a little disappointment in his eyes.

Roland could only cover up embarrassingly.

"At least...at least take Wade with you."

It was rare for her to find such a genius excuse: a widow must bring her son with her when she marries.

"That's right! Wait a moment, I'll take you back first."

Rhett turned around and greeted the relatives and friends who rushed to congratulate him.He is very familiar with this kind of thing, no matter whether the other party is true or false, Brad responded enthusiastically as if he had met a friend for many years.

Roland felt that he needed a quiet place to think about it.She sat alone for a long time, until Brad woke her up, took her outside the court, and got into the car pulled by old Henry with her.

The carriage stopped in front of "Tommy's Dining Room".With sharp eyes, Roland saw her cat rushing towards her.

"Lan Lan, Lan Lan...I have something urgent..."

Maomao meowed while running, and jumped up into Roland's arms.

Rhett next to him poked his head over: "What is the little cat talking about?"

Roland and Luna: ...

They almost exploded at the same time.

Rhett said innocently: "I heard it meow as if it was talking, I thought you could understand it."

Roland and the cat let out a long sigh of relief at the same time.

"Lan Lan..."

After being interrupted by Rhett, Luna hurriedly said, "There is not much time left..."

Before she had time to say anything, the sound of horseshoes came from a distance.Roland saw that she had seen the person immediately, and it was the concierge of Wei Yingti's house.

"Mrs. Han? Mrs. Wei is seriously ill, and she wants to see you. Mr. Wei, please go there no matter what."

"Merry-"

Roland let go of his hand, and the cat fell to the ground.

No wonder Melanie didn't attend the court hearing today.

Before she could react, Rhett had already jumped into the carriage and sat in the seat of old Henry.

"Scarlett, get in the car—"

He greeted rudely.

Roland was awakened by his sound, and stepped on the carriage step with his skirt in hand, asking casually, "Henry, please say hello to Mrs. Munro for me. Mr. Bai is fine, but Miss Merry, Ms. Merry..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help crying.

How old is Melanie? Although she has been in poor health, isn't there many people in this world who are like this, with constant minor illnesses, but still live long lives?

Rhett was skilled in driving, and drove through half of New Orleans at a fast speed, and stopped in front of the rented house of the Wesley couple.Roland quickly jumped out of the carriage.

Mrs. Meade came out to meet her—the proof that the doctor had arrived and was treating Melanie.

Roland suppressed the panic in his heart, comforted himself and said, "It's okay, Dr. Meade is here, and Melanie will be fine."

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Meade heard her words, sighed and said: "Mrs. Wei has a miscarriage..."

Roland paused, feeling out of breath, as if he was about to suffocate.

"My husband has been telling her that she can't have another child. Having another child will kill her... But she still... and secretly, for two months, no one told..."

"She has been wanting to see you for a long time, but everyone knows that Mr. Bai's sentence today—"

Damn it! —Roland thought, for the past two months, these two months, she has been working on Rhett's business, and she has completely forgotten about Melanie.If she could come and see Melanie, maybe Melanie would tell her about the pregnancy, and then she could go and tell Dr. Meade, and get people to do something about it?

Mrs. Meade took Roland and turned a corner along the corridor, and she met Wei Xili head-on.

Ashley probably didn't expect to meet Roland here. He stood still and greeted Roland, but there was panic in his eyes—the kind of childlike fear of being blamed by Roland.Roland had only seen this expression on the face of little Wade.

Suddenly she remembered, and it all came to her.

This man once bowed his head in front of himself and said, "I'll be all yours."

And she laughed and replied: "Are you going to keep chastity for me?"

If she had really agreed and nodded, wouldn't Melanie not...

Roland suddenly took a step forward, and slapped Wei Xili forcefully. The sound was clear and loud, and reverberated throughout the house.

Mrs. Meade, who was following Roland, looked dumbfounded.

There was a red palm print on Ashley's pale and tired face. He covered his face and looked up desolately.Two women in his life, one he was losing and the other, he had already lost.

Roland himself was also stunned.

Her original personality is modest and polite, calm when things happen.So this palm can't be regarded as her slap, it should be regarded as Scarlett Scarlett's slap.

She seems to remember that in that frame of "Memory Killing", many years ago, in a certain reading room of Twelve Oaks, Scarlett once stretched out her hand like this, and threw a palm without hesitation——

"Please, Ashley, cheer up, find a way, and save her!"

The voice trembled, these were the words Roland spoke with his own reason.

Mrs. Meade suddenly realized: it turned out that this palm was used to wake up Mr. Wei who was completely panicked!When encountering such a situation, Mrs. Han is still... determined.

And Rhett's voice sounded at the entrance of the corridor they just passed, reminding in a low voice: "Mrs. Meade, Mr. Wei, what can I do for you?"

Mrs. Meade jumped out quickly at this moment: "Melanie wants to see Scarlett, she wants to see Scarlett—you let her see Scarlett first—"

The lady suddenly showed bravery, took Roland's hand, bypassed Wei Xili directly, and led Roland to the door of a small room.

Wei Yingti is waiting here.

She heard the movement in the corridor just now, so she looked at Roland with complicated eyes - she hated Roland's reckless behavior, but seemed to think that what she did was not completely unreasonable.

When Wei Yingdi and Roland looked at each other, Mrs. Meade knocked lightly on the door.Dr. Meade came out of the door, and when he saw Roland coming, he hurriedly said, "You are here, don't let her say anything, just say a few words—something that will make her feel at ease, and let her leave with peace of mind..."

When Roland heard the doctor say this, her heart seemed to sink to the depths of the ocean.

But she lowered her voice, and said firmly to Dr. Meade: "I want to save her, I must save her."

After speaking, Roland went to Melanie's room.

Dr. Meade immediately turned pale and stayed where she was when she said a few words.Mrs. Meade comforted her husband sadly: "Let her go, let her go..."

People who were confused by the sudden bad news would be forgiven for anything they said.

Roland's eyes dimmed—there was not much light in Melanie's room, and a pair of heavy curtains tightly covered the entire window, hanging there like a dark ugly spot of light.

She sniffed the faint smell of old furniture in the room, and suddenly thought of Tara—at Tara, Melanie had been ill for a long time, but she finally recovered.

It will be the same this time.

Roland suddenly felt that the person she was most jealous of in this plane was Melanie, and the person she relied on most was also Melanie.If Melanie is not there, then her path seems impossible and unnecessary, and she continues to go down.

"Merry, it's me!"

She approached Melanie's bunk, found Melanie's small body among the pile of quilts and blankets, and took Melanie's little cold hand in her palm.

Melanie seemed to feel her, and her body moved slightly.

"Scarlett—"

"You...don't talk, listen to me."

Roland remembered the doctor's words, and immediately rushed before Melanie was about to speak——

"Why... are you so stupid?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that such feelings were really difficult to control. She couldn't control her tears and crying. She felt that her nose was completely blocked in an instant. She tried her best, but she could only stop herself Sobbing, she couldn't even utter a word of comfort.

Roland lowered his head and bit his lips hard, trying to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

She had something extremely important to say.

But she felt Melanie's hand next to her cheek—

It was Melanie who stretched out her fingers and gently wrapped Roland's long curly hair, just like the night before Roland left Tara, they sat side by side talking in the office.

"Silly... Scarlett, because I... love him!"

Melanie's tone seemed to be coaxing Wade or Bo.

"...like you love Charlie..."

Roland lowered his head, not wanting her to see the tears in his eyes.

Melanie had trusted blindly all her life—believing that the people she loved would live forever in such love.She never knew those cruel truths, and never even believed them even if she saw them.

And now Roland understands how much she needs someone like Melanie by her side. Melanie is like a lamp, a beam of light, so that even in the deepest despair, she knows that there will be someone like Melanie by her side. Such a friend will never betray.

"Merry, listen to me!"

Roland made up her mind that she must let Melanie continue to live in this world.

"God gave me a gift, he will let me accomplish anything in this world that ordinary people can never do—"

She bent down and kissed Melanie's small hand.

"Meli, don't be afraid, I want to save you!"

She looked up to see something flicker in Melanie's eyes, but the light of hope flickered and then faded.

Melanie sighed faintly: "Oh, Scarlett, listen to me—"
