===================

After Chris went out, he came back quickly and said that Mr. Butler was unwilling to leave and claimed that he would wait for her all the time.

Su Lun smiled and asked him to ignore him. Chris agreed, and could only sit face to face with Reid for an entire afternoon. Being questioned by him from time to time, he always felt that he had unknowingly cheated him of some information.

I can't see him in the office, but Su Lun always wants to go home, but for some reason, the wheel of the carriage broke today, and the driver was sweating profusely, for fear of being fired.

"Steve, don't worry, you can rent another carriage, I remember there is a carriage and horse shop nearby." Su Lun knew who it was at a glance, that bastard Rhett must be nearby.

"Compared to traveling by car, why don't you let me give you a ride?" Reid's annoying voice really appeared.

Su Lun turned his head and saw that he was sitting in the carriage like a rascal, looking as if nothing had happened.

She ignored him, and went directly to the carriage, only to find that the carriage was closed today. She didn't expect him to do such a great job, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

But just as he wanted, she was not willing to do so. She committed a leftist behavior for a while and decided to walk home.

She was wearing a white frock dress today, like ladies used to wear, because she had just come to Atlanta and no one would know that she was the lady that everyone was talking about.

She looks like a lady of high society, but it is strange for a lady like her to walk on the road.Except for walking when they are in the store, they cannot do without the carriage at other times.

Rhett followed her as she walked, circling her like a bee.

He said for a moment: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have broken your carriage."

Then he said: "Look at them, they are all looking at us, and they must be guessing that we are a quarreling couple."

Su Lun glared at him, looked around, and felt that the scene was indeed a bit strange, so he stopped and stared at him.

"Well, stubborn girl, just as I beg you, take a ride in my carriage?" Rhett said with a playful smile, "If a beautiful girl like you doesn't take a ride in it, I'll die of grief, you have the heart ?"

Su Lun was almost amused, but she held back, and after he pleaded repeatedly, she sat down condescendingly, but she didn't give him a good face.

But Rhett looked very happy as if he had won a great victory, his eyes were shining, and those black eyes turned his head to look at her from time to time, just like a black dragon looking at his treasure.

"If you look at me like that again, I'm going to get angry." Su Lun said angrily.

"Okay." Rhett agreed, then turned his head and asked, "But I'm curious how you will get angry? Hit me?"

Judging by his appearance, I'm afraid she wished she could beat him up.

Su Lun gritted his teeth with hatred, turned his head immediately, and bit his neck very hard.

"Oh, it hurts." Reid made a grimace, and grinned, "You can take another bite to vent your anger, and I will never resist."

He really looked like a masochist, as if the bite was quite comfortable, Su Lun regretted responding to him, she should have ignored him.

So for the rest of the journey, no matter what Rhett did, she didn't even look at him, no matter how funny he told Su Lun, Su Lun didn't seem to hear him.

It was midsummer at this time, and dusk was gradually falling, and the pedestrians on the road became sparse, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage and the clatter of horses stepping on the ground.

The carriage stopped, and Su Lun was about to get out of the carriage without saying a word, but he pulled him from behind.

"Could you please talk?" Rhett's tone was too gentle, it sounded a bit like begging.

Su Lun turned around and glanced at him, seeing that his eyes were wide open, looking a little pitiful.

She didn't speak, and sat down again, looking ahead.

"Since the last time we separated, I have done a deep introspection, and I feel that I have made a big mistake." Rhett looked at her while talking, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "This feeling is really strange. After ten years old, I won't admit my mistake."

"Okay, don't be angry." Seeing that she was about to stare again, Rhett changed his words immediately, "The fact is that I was wrong, I shouldn't have tested you, I should have proposed to you honestly, then nothing will happen."

Su Lun wanted to mock him again, she sneered and said, "Yes, who can refuse Captain Butler's marriage proposal? How honored she is to have the face to refuse."

"No, you misunderstood." Rhett had a headache. "Of course you are qualified to refuse any man's marriage proposal, let alone me, who has an old and ugly man?"

At the end, he paused, gritted his teeth and belittled himself.

"It's useless to say more, I don't plan to marry you." Su Lun said coldly.

As if being hit with a stick, Rhett carefully observed her expression, and said in a low voice, "Don't you give me a chance?"

"No, you don't understand love at all, and you are not suitable for marriage." Su Lun's tone was very calm, so calm that it made people panic.

"What makes you think so? I love you, and I've never been so fascinated. As for marriage." Reid paused, "Yes, I have always resisted marriage, but I am willing to change , for you, change."

Rhett put his arms around her back, turned her face, and begged, "Give me a chance, I will prove myself, I will be a good lover, a good husband."

The night became hazy, just like Su Lun's heart, she suddenly became less firm, what should she do?

Is it to promise to give him a chance, to listen to his inner voice, to believe, to love him?

Or reject him because he's a rogue, and perhaps immediately find himself uninteresting, and go after something else?

She was very suspicious that he had always loved Scarlett in the original book only because she had never loved him.When Scarlett found out her love for him, he ran away.

Does he really understand love?Or, like Scarlett, always looking for something you can't get?

This is a gamble, Su Lun is not a gambler, she chooses to leave things to time.

"Now you ask me to answer you, just make it difficult for me." Su Lun put his hands on his chest, not letting him get closer, "Scars always take time to heal, and when I heal the scars, let me forget about them." Does it hurt?"

When she said this, she lowered her eyes and looked pitiful. She knew it was a trick, but Rhett couldn't resist.

"You bad bastard, you came up with tricks to hang me again?" Rhett held her hand, rubbed it, and sighed helplessly, "Well, if you want to do this, I can't help it."

Rhett is really a person, and he is right, she is hanging on him.Before you decide whether you want a candy, you can't let it out of your sight.

He is not an honest man, but a prodigal son in love, who will hook up with other women if he is not careful.Of course you have to give him a rein before you have a full grip on him.

"No, you can choose to give up, it will be easier." Su Lun pulled out his hand and squinted at him with those sly eyes.

"It's so cunning, you know I can't let go for a while." Reid felt that he was the donkey tricked by the carrot, "I regret it a little, I let you know my thoughts in advance, if you don't know, just Don’t dare to be so presumptuous.”

"It's too late for you to regret it, you really should go." Taking advantage of his inattention, Su Lun jumped out of the carriage, and his posture was very flexible.

"Should show Mrs. O'Hara how her proud daughter jumped off the carriage like a monkey," Rhett teased her.

"You know my mother?" Su Lun had already turned around, but suddenly looked back at him.

"It's not that easy for me to know her. Now she probably suspects that I'm pursuing her youngest daughter." Reid suddenly laughed when he thought of Mrs. O'Hara's strict defense.

"Carrie? What did you do to her?" Su Lun frowned.

"No, no, honey, you are not angry, are you?" Rhett was taken aback, and immediately explained, "I didn't do anything to your little sister, in fact, I only talked to her once in private It's still about you."

"It's just that Mrs. O'Hara doesn't think so. Who told me to go too often, and there is only one unmarried lady in her family?" Rhett laughed easily when she saw that she no longer stared at him like a she-wolf.

"I'll go back to Tara tomorrow. If I know you did something you shouldn't do, just wait!" Su Lun knew that he would not attack Carrie, but Scarlett was not sure.

Scarlett should be pregnant, right?She didn't dare to overestimate her integrity, especially since all the young people nearby had gone to the battlefield, she might have been lonely and unbearable long ago.

What is pregnancy?She was sure that Scarlett hadn't taken it to heart, and might have charmed Rhett.

"It's a pity baby, I have to go out of town tomorrow, and I can't go to Tara with you." Rhett said as he drove the car and disappeared into the night.

Su Lun guessed that he should be engaged in speculative business. Reid is a businessman and has no moral bottom line, so he will definitely seize the opportunity to make a fortune.

Su Lun returned to Tala at dusk the next day.

Three months ago, Tara was a leisurely pastoral scene, with countless black slaves working in the fields and planting cotton seeds.

In just three months, the place has become much quieter. Although there are still black people working in the fields, she knows it is different.

Maybe before long, these blacks will flee one after another, and the work in the fields will have to be left to the whites themselves.

The war is doomed to failure, and the original book also mentions it many times, there is a famine in Tara, and everyone is starving.

She felt that she could do something in advance, at least she could use her influence to let the nearby people hide more food.

The Civil War came to an end, and the real fire was played.Wherever the northern army went, they looted and burned it all.

In the original book, Tara’s grain stockpile was not much at all, and some of it was supplied to the southern army, but was wiped out by the northern army, which led to a long period of famine.

Unless everyone moves away from Tara, famine is inevitable.She planned to build a hidden granary without telling Ellen first, and Scarlett could know about this place.

At this point, she still admires Scarlett very much. At critical times, she can provoke the leader.

She sat in the carriage, driven by Steve the Negro coachman, and Nelly, her new maid, sat down beside him.

This is the basic configuration of nobles in this era. If she doesn't do this, Ellen will definitely educate her for a long time.

Her carriage stopped on Tara's cypress-lined drive, and Pork heard the sound of the carriage, and immediately went to inform the hostess and guests in the hall.

So Su Lun saw many people running out of the house, standing in the corridor.Ellen was the first one. As for the others, she roughly estimated that the ladies nearby were probably there.

Su Lun was a little surprised that there were so many people in the family. She hugged and kissed Ellen first, then hugged Scarlett, who was absent-minded, and then Carrie.

"Su Lun, you are finally back, I miss you so much." Carrie seemed to have grown up a bit, and she looked a little girlish.

"I miss you too, honey." Su Lun smiled at the guests while talking, "It's a coincidence that I came back, it seems that there is a banquet at home?"

"Yes, we have been together for several days." India Wilkes said with a smile.

Her words seemed to turn on a switch, and everyone was chattering.

"We can't wait to meet our respected Ms. Su Lun, you are the big news here." Tarryton's boss Hetty said excitedly.

"Yeah, we still want to know how you did it? It turns out that girls can also become heroes." Sally Munro said in surprise.

While the girls were talking, the wives watched them with smiles from behind. At this moment, Ellen invited everyone into the living room, and served tea and snacks again.

The ladies resumed their sewing and listened to the girls.

Su Lun hasn't had such a leisurely time for a long time. Judging by everyone's appearance, the war outside doesn't seem to affect everyone at all.
