Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

Josephine thought it was a poor kid who believed Rhett's bullshit.Rhett, an unreliable guy, does he know how to educate children?He has a son of his own, but he entrusts others to raise and educate him. To visit him a few times a year is considered to have fulfilled the responsibility of a "father". Thinking of an illegitimate child, she suddenly remembered that Ryan Talent actually had a child. Boy, should he be 4 or 5 years old this year?

It's just that illegitimate children will not be recognized. According to the pride of the Tarent family, an illegitimate child will not be allowed to inherit the family property.

Agatha took little Tom away understandingly, and shared a room with little John.Tara’s room was not enough, originally three children lived in one room, Tom started to make noises after changing the environment, and the nanny couldn’t coax him, so he had to move to Josephine’s room; Shocked, couldn't sleep well.

The children had their own rooms at home, and Josephine had never shared a bedroom with the children, which was very unaccustomed to her.Tom was too young to be fed in the middle of the night, and the nanny would always wake her up when she came in.

Josephine thought it would be difficult to fall asleep tonight, but soon, she fell into a deep sleep.

Emile came in quietly, and looked at the two people on the bed by the faint light of the candle cup: her daughter and grandson.Josephine slept on half of the bed, while Victor slept at the end of the bed. It seemed that he sneaked onto the bed to get closer to his mother.

She touched Victor's little face lovingly: the boy has grown up, not like Josephine, but more like his father, he is a handsome boy, cute and elegant, smart and quiet, he is her favorite grandson.When Josephine gave birth to a child, she was a child herself, and she never realized that she was a mother. She didn't love children, she was tired of hearing children crying, she couldn't hold children, and she hated children eating and drinking. Sleep, think that children are troublesome.But in a blink of an eye, that child has grown so big!

Josephine... oh her Josephine!She always felt that Josephine was still a child, still that ignorant and willful girl, why did she go to France for a few years, and she changed so much?She has only seen Hastings once, and Hastings, who has the name of an angel, is tall, handsome, and extremely charming, but Josephine seems to be afraid of him... He is much older, only 5 or 6 years younger than her mother-in-law He is a mature man and a very controlling man. Without his permission, Josephine can't even see her parents.

After hearing the news of Hastings' death, Emile really breathed a sigh of relief: Josephine becoming a widow is not a terrible thing, it would be terrible if she lived under the control of Hastings all her life thing!

Unfortunately, John didn't understand this truth. He even thought Hastings was a strong man who could take good care of his daughter!Man, always so stupid!

Emile left quietly again.

Little Tom still wouldn't sleep well, had to be held and rocked to sleep; and as soon as you stopped, the troublesome little guy would wake up again and howl.

On the other hand, Little John is an obedient baby, and falls asleep obediently when he is full.

The two nannies took turns holding Tom and couldn't put the baby down until midnight.

John, Charles, and Ashley had a tacit understanding not to mention Rhett. Rhett came and went, and said murderously that the niggers in the woods must be thoroughly cleaned up. The men of Tara must not intervene in this matter, lest The authorities took this as an excuse to arrest the Robillards and Mr. Wilkes.But he was different. He had money to settle, and he didn't live in Atlanta or Clayton County, so he didn't worry about retaliation.

Robillard and his son were not very worried about being retaliated, but worried about whether Rhett would come back alive, whether they would cause trouble for Ashley, and even more worried about whether Tara would be in trouble after they left.

After midnight, Rhett returned, covered in blood, with fire in his eyes, and very excited.

Melanie quietly woke up a maid and asked her to fetch water for Captain Butler to scrub.

Ashley also went downstairs. "How is it?" he asked in a low voice.

"It's all settled." Reid said lightly: "Those niggers! They gathered a few people to burn Tara, and I beat them all to death."

Melanie turned pale with shock, "Then what to do! Someone will find out!"

"My men are very good at this. They will bury the body so that no one will find it, at least not in the near future. They are all rubbish! No one cares whether such a person lives or dies."

Ashley nodded, then shook his head again, "Someone will always get suspicious and ask where they went."

"I'll fix it."

"How to solve it?" Melanie asked timidly, "With a gun?"

Rhett said solemnly: "No, ma'am, use money."

Scarlett tossed and turned, fell asleep for a long time, but had a nightmare and woke up.She was lying on the bed weak and exhausted, thinking in a trance that if her uncle and cousin hadn't saved her today, she would have suffered the tragedy of those poor women—but why not Rhett or Ashley Saved her?No, it's better not to let them see her in a mess, otherwise, what will they think of her?

She should be beautiful all the time, but she can't be ashamed in front of Rhett or Ashley, that would be too embarrassing!

She thought that her beautiful cousin was finally no longer so perfect today, and she actually felt a little bit happy in her heart?wrong!How could she think so of Josephine?Josephine had always loved her and cared for her and Tara, and she shouldn't be gloating.

Someone was talking in the corridor, the voice was very low and noisy.She shouted impatiently: "Who is outside?"

The talking stopped for a moment, but then it started again.

Scarlett got out of bed angrily, thinking that even Ashley couldn't keep her awake in the middle of the night - she was surprised to find that there were Rhett and Josephine in the corridor.

They were very close, Rhett bowing his head in humility, almost touching Josephine's forehead; Josephine was wearing a nightgown (which was unseemly) and had no expression on her face.

Rhett was not wearing a jacket, and the sleeves of his shirt were roughly rolled up, exposing his muscular arms.He held Josephine's hand gently, and Josephine let him hold her hand. Obviously, their relationship was extraordinary.

Scarlett was stunned, "Rhett..." she called out in a low voice, and then her voice suddenly increased: "Rhett Butler!"

She was trembling with anger, and just wanted to have a good fight with him, but she didn't expect that Rhett quickly turned to her and said, "Mrs. Hamilton, don't worry, I've taken care of it. I just came up to tell Tyron Mrs. Te, whoever hurt her has gone to hell."

Scarlett suddenly didn't know how to speak.His expression was too serious, it didn't look like he was whispering ulterior motives to Josephine.She suspected that she was thinking too much, but when she looked again, Rhett was still holding Josephine's hand.

Then, Rhett took Josephine's hand, and quickly kissed the back of her hand, "Good night, Mrs. Tarent."

Then she said to Scarlett, "Good night, Mrs. Hamilton."

The Robillard family lived in Tara Manor for another week, and they left after making sure that Rhett had really dealt with the remaining issues.

Scarlett has always wanted to know what happened to Rhett and Josephine, but she really didn't know who to ask.There are only two answers to this question. One is that Rhett has nothing to do with Josephine. Rhett really just went upstairs to report the situation and shook hands just to kiss the back of her hand; the other is that Rhett really fell in love with Josephine.

She knew in her heart that it was the second answer.Among other things, the way boys—or men—look at the woman they love is familiar to her, the way the hapless Charles Hamilton has seen her, and so have other men and boys. Seen her - damn it!There was even a moment when she thought Rhett saw her that way.

She resentfully thought that it was just her own illusion, but how could she—she, Scarlett O'Hara, lose her charm to men?How could there be a man who wouldn't be fascinated by her?

But then, she was not without frustration thinking that if her rival in love was a beautiful cousin, then she really couldn't win!

She was frustrated by moments, angry by moments, and envious by moments.Josephine is the only woman who can make her admit that she is indeed much more beautiful than her. Even if Rhett really fell in love with Josephine, it is not a strange thing, it is normal, but Josephine will love Rui Germany?

I'm afraid not.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt the pleasure of revenge: Rhett Butler, you are nothing more than that!

Sheldon's death had some impact on the Robillard family, where the servants were united and hated the "niggers" who had caused the tragedy.The servants look down on those poor niggers, thinking that they don't understand loyalty or humanity, how can they attack Sheldon, who is also black?

Of course, the young lady is also very miserable, almost becoming those poor white ladies, what will the young lady do then?

Fortunately, the lady didn't seem to be affected in any way, and there was almost no difference from before.

Captain Butler's visits became more frequent, almost every day.He put down his foreign business and devoted himself to pursuing Josephine passionately.

Carloads of flowers were delivered to Robillard's house in a continuous stream, announcing his love in a high-profile manner; he cared for Victor like a good stepfather; he also offered to go to Boston to renegotiate Cynthia's custody with Stanley.

But when Cynthia was mentioned, Josephine would get angry with him, saying that he was not thinking of her.

"Since you have a way to kill Thomas on the pier, you should have a way to make Stanley let go." She said angrily.

Rhett smiled, showing his pirate-like smile, "Yes, I really didn't think well about this matter. I'm sorry, I didn't do it well. I will make it up, I swear."

He no longer says sarcastic words to her now, probably because he understands that she doesn't like this set of PUA manipulative words. The man's mouth is cheap because he despises you in his heart and doesn't love you enough. Conversely, you can make love to him pua.She often mentioned Thomas, deliberately saying how good Thomas was and how much he loved her.

"Thomas can't be so stupid! He always takes care of troubles, and with him by my side, I don't have to worry about anything."

Rhett was silent for a moment, and said a little sourly: "Yes, your Thomas is so good, but unfortunately he is a short-lived ghost!"

Josephine glared at him angrily, "Isn't it because you sent someone to kill him? I should stab you to death for that!"

The author has something to say: the author is too difficult, if the burden is thrown away early, it will be meaningless; but it will be scored negatively by impatient people.And what I hinted is so obvious, don't you understand?I'm really having a hard time.

It's almost over, can we talk after reading it, dear?
