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

Su Lun's baby was born soon, in the hot summer.

Dr. Meade and Melanie delivered her a daughter.

With the help of Melanie, she tidied herself up, and saw Rhett coming in with a whole body full of steam.

Su Lun saw him and was sure it was really hot, and Rhett was sweating so much while waiting outside the house.

Sweat soaked his shirt, and he looked about as embarrassed as she was.

Ellen couldn't go away by herself, so she sent the Black Mammy to take care of the children. She had more experience than anyone else.

At this time, Nanny Hei was bathing the child, and besides crying a few times, the villain had already fallen asleep at this time.

Rhett sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her with concern, bowed his head and kissed: "Are you okay? Honey."

When he got close, he smelled a heavy smell of cigarettes. He must have been smoking in the corridor just now.

"I'm fine." Su Lun was a little tired, eyes half closed.

At this time, the black mammy wrapped the baby up, and looked at Rhett eagerly: "Mr. Butler, I want to apologize to you."

Both Su Lun and Rhett looked at her strangely, and there was a hint of embarrassment on her generous face: "She's not a boy, Mr. Butler."

Rhett quickly interrupted her: "Stop talking, Mammy, who wants boys, I only like girls, and I won't change if you give me ten boys."

Mammy Black was very happy and grinned.

Then Rhett snatched the child, looked down, smiled softly, and walked to the bed a few steps: "Look at how cute she is."

Su Lun looked down and found that she was red all over, her hair was thick, and her heart was soft. She gently touched her little hand.

Seeing her gentle expression, Rhett knew that he was right.She really loves the child, and he is the father of the child, so will she also love him by the way?

Su Lun felt the child's little hand move, and when she looked up, her little mouth was slightly open, licking the towel that wrapped her.

"Mammy, feed her something, she seems to be awake."

The color of her newly opened eyes was blue, the same as Su Lun's. As for the others, she couldn't see them yet.

Sister Hei and the nanny carried the baby down to feed him. Su Lun couldn't hold on anymore, and fell asleep from exhaustion, vaguely feeling that Rhett had been sitting beside her.

When Mammy Black went out after feeding the children, she met Melanie who had been waiting in the corridor.She laughed and told her about Mr. Rhett, and Melanie laughed too.

"Mother, Mr. Butler is so kind. He didn't even drink a sip of wine just now. How many people get drunk when their children are born." Melanie became a little envious. If this child is How good hers should be.

The newborn has brought great changes to the family, everyone has become busy, and her cry can turn everyone off their feet.

Fortunately, she is in good health and has not been sick for a while, otherwise the whole family would not be able to sleep well.

"Aurora Butler, how about this name?"

Rhett had grown fond of carrying his daughter around, when he came up to her with the baby in his arms and asked her opinion.

Aurora, Goddess of Dawn, Hope?

"I hope she is happy and beautiful?" Su Lun asked casually.

"No, she is my hope." Rhett glanced at her with a smile, then walked around with his daughter in his arms, talking to her from time to time, although she didn't respond.

Su Lun felt that the look he gave her just now was a bit strange, but he couldn't figure it out, so he just threw it away, maybe he was thinking too much.

Although Su Lun and Rhett have very different understandings of their daughter's name, Aurora's name was decided in this way.

Gradually, Aurora became a celebrity in the city, not because of how noble and wealthy she was, but because of her father, Mr. Butler.

Compared with other fathers, Mr. Butler is keen to post baby.

At every banquet, he is very happy to show his daughter.If someone praises her, it is more effective than complimenting him ten times.

The ladies completely forgot about his bad reputation because he was such a good dad.

This incident turned his former prodigal experience into youth and ignorance, and now, his prodigal son has returned.

Su Lun discovered this change from Mrs. Meade. Dr. Meade always hated those speculators, and his wife naturally followed suit.

The former Mrs. Meade never mentioned Rhett in front of Su Lun, because they did not welcome Rhett.

Because of Su Lun, he couldn't speak ill of him, so he avoided talking about it.

But now, everyone would talk about Rhett and Aurora in front of her, how beautiful and lively Aurora was, and how cute her father was.

Of course, these changes are not only the influence of Aurora, but also based on Rhett's military service and charity. Accumulated, Rhett has become a respected gentleman.

These are all good changes, but Rhett annoys Su Lun that he has become a dazzler.It's not enough to show off outside, and often pester her to praise how cute her daughter is.

Of course her daughter is cute, not to mention that Aurora is really beautiful, her facial features have gradually opened up, and it can be seen that she is a beauty embryo.

Su Lun didn't think much at first, and praised her daughter according to her own ideas, saying how much she loved her.

Whenever this happened, Rhett was always very excited, and his eyes were shining when he looked at her.Simply saying that it is happy is not necessarily the case, it is more like a hunting dog seeing its prey.

After many times, Su Lun felt that Rhett was probably a daughter-in-law. No matter who it was, as long as he praised Aurora, he would be very happy.

After giving birth, Su Lun experienced some changes.Her body was completely opened, and her former youthfulness had become mature and charming. Her figure was even more sexy, exuding seductive charm all over her body.

Su Lun himself didn't have any obvious feeling, but Rhett felt the change keenly.

At every ball, she is always the most popular one. When walking on the road, she will attract countless admiring eyes. In the hospital, the wounded always want to see her the most.

With a sense of crisis in his mind, he insisted on taking Su Lun to and from get off work. At other times, he always appeared around her from time to time to observe her surroundings.

Su Lun visited Mrs. Smith, the teacher, and Rhett insisted on following him. She reluctantly took him there, but Edward was also there.

Su Lun hadn't seen Edward for a long time since she married Rhett, and it was a bit of a surprise to see him this time.

"Edward, didn't you say that you have something to deal with?" Mrs. Smith looked at her son who had stopped in doubt.

Edward glanced at Su Lun: "It's the same if you go later, I haven't seen Miss Su Lun for a long time."

Miss Sullen?According to protocol, he should call her Mrs. Butler.

She looked at Edward in surprise: "I'm already Mrs. Butler, Edward."

Edward smiled shyly, sat down beside Mrs. Smith, and listened to their conversation.

She could feel that Edward's gaze was on her all the time, and sometimes he would stay there for a long time, as if staring blankly.She felt a little embarrassed, so she looked away, wondering when Edward became a nympho.

Rhett is not blind, he already knew that Mr. Smith was interested in Su Lun in the past.It's just that he thought that after Su Lun got married, he should give up. Unexpectedly, things didn't develop like this.

In Edward's eyes, Rhett saw something he didn't want to see.In fact, during this period of time, he saw the same thing in the eyes of many people, which was a man's instinct for beautiful women.

Most people abide by the rules and suspend appreciation for the married Su Lun, but it is not ruled out that some people have crossed the line and have more attempts.

He had reason to suspect now that Edward was the one hovering over the line.He resisted the urge, smiled, pulled Edward aside to chat, and finally moved that annoying look away from Su Lun.

Mrs. Smith told Su Lun that the newspaper was going to close because of the war.She is going back to her hometown of Macon, and she can write to herself if something happens.

The teacher was about to leave, Su Lun felt very sad.In her heart, Mrs. Smith is a respected elder.They reluctantly talked a lot and ignored the two men.

After coming out of the teacher's house, something was obviously wrong with Reid. After observing for a while, Su Lun was sure it was not an illusion.

"Honey, what's the matter with you?" Su Lun took the initiative to lean in his arms and looked up.

Rhett put his arms around her, and he smiled nonchalantly, jokingly: "It's nothing, I just want to hide you, so that no one can snatch you from me."

Su Lun was amused, and said with a smile: "Do you think I still have a doll and hide it? Besides, who will snatch it from you? I am Mrs. Butler now, not a little girl."

Reid looked down at her, his eyes were dark, but he smiled cooperatively: "You are not a little girl anymore? Let me see, what is the difference?"

His words were very serious, and he touched her waist ambiguously with his hand. Su Lun was so teased that he trembled, grabbed his hand, and begged for mercy: "Honey, it's still outside."

Rhett's hand was gently grasped by her, and he obediently stopped moving, so he lowered his head and kissed her.

Su Lun felt that Rhett was a little strange tonight, and he was too enthusiastic. She suspected for a moment that he had taken medicine, but she quickly dispelled her doubts.

After what happened last time, it is impossible for him to do this again. This should be his own strength.

But fortunately, this kind of strength is not available every time. After a few days, he returned to normal. Maybe special triggering skills are needed to perform supernormally.

The time turned to May 1863, and the war situation in the south was gradually declining. A large number of black slaves in the plantations fled, and the rear supplies gradually failed to keep up.

In addition, because the north blocked many ports in the south, the currency depreciated, prices soared, and people's living standards continued to decline.

White bread was replaced by tortillas, and ordinary white people seldom ate beef and mutton. Even cotton cloth was in short supply, and many people weaved cloth at home.

Rhett always brought home the best at times like these, and she knew it must have come through the blockade.

Considering that everyone was wearing outdated clothes, she prevented Rhett from wearing new clothes. At this time, it was undoubtedly a matter of hatred.

So the food at home is still the same, but the clothes are much more plain. Although the clothes are not shabby, they can't be called high-profile.

At that time, Rhett was surprised by her plan, looked at her carefully, and then laughed jokingly: "Honey, you really surprised me. At this moment, you are more like a speculator than me."

Although he said that, it didn't seem to be derogatory, but his eyes lit up, and he lowered his head and kissed her on the face: "Honey, fortunately, you are not a fool, and I am quite worried that you donate everything to those poor people. "

"If you are a superior person, will you distribute the food to others?" Su Lun looked up at him.

"Forget it, honey, it's too difficult to be a classy person, and I will be under pressure." Reid seemed to know her doubts, his eyes softened, and he encouraged, "It's good that you are doing things for everyone , without incurring losses to yourself, very smart.”

Su Lun knew that she was a little selfish, far inferior to Melanie's kindness, and she did good things for a purpose.Like Rhett said, she was an opportunist.

She carefully looked at Rhett's expression, and asked in doubt, "Don't you think I did something wrong?"

"Honey, why do you think so?" Rhett raised his eyebrows, picked her up by the waist, walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Based on a lady's standard, I'm wrong. If Ellen knows, she will definitely criticize me." Su Lun continued to test.

"Little fool, you are not a lady, you probably don't know who you are?" Reid hugged her like a child, with a bit of connivance and pampering, "You are more cunning than a fox, a lady Can't do what you do."

Su Lun pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, looking a little unhappy.

Rhett frowned, raised her chin, and examined, "Do you really want to be a lady?"

Su Lun grabbed his hand and said with some grievances: "In this way, I am not a superior person, am I an inferior person? I don't want it."

Seeing her serious struggle, Rhett couldn't help but laughed uncontrollably, and finally burst out laughing.

Su Lun beat him angrily, but he gently held his hand and coaxed, "Okay, honey, you don't want to be an inferior person, I understand."

He couldn't help but want to laugh when he said that.Because at this moment, Su Lun was really innocent, he looked at her, and suddenly felt tenderness.

He patiently said: "Honey, of course you are not an inferior person, you are much more valuable to me than any superior person. And in the eyes of outsiders, you are a superior person. In this way, you have nothing to lose, no ?"

"Really? Don't you look down on me?" Su Lun looked at Rhett with a hint of surprise, like a frightened deer.

Every time he saw her look like this, Rhett always felt hot in his heart, as if she was completely dependent on him and regarded him as the only one to rely on.

He lowered his head and kissed her eyes, and his tone was very gentle: "Of course, my dear, if there is one person in this world whom I value, it is only you. How could I look down on you?"

Su Lun raised his head, and then asked the doubts he had hidden for a long time: "What about Melanie? What do you think of her?"

What did Rhett think of Melanie?He said that she was a classy person. When Su Lun read the original book, he often suspected that Rhett's true love was Melanie, and there was a lot of evidence.

For example, Melanie is the woman Rhett respects the most. It is common for women to be teased by a prodigal son, but respect is rare.

For another example, he knew that Scarlett liked Ashley, so he simply married Scarlett home to prevent Melanie's marriage from being destroyed.

Finally, when Melanie died, Rhett seemed to be devastated and simply left Scarlett, seemingly because Melanie was sad.

Compared with Scarlett, she thinks Rhett has a higher chance of falling in love with Melanie.After all, Melanie is a Mary Sue, isn't even Ashley captured by her unconsciously?

Rhett's expression froze for a moment. He suspected that he had heard wrong, and looked down at her carefully: "What are you talking about? Mrs. Wilkes?"

His gaze seemed to be piercing her face with a nail, and there was a flustered breath in the air.

Just as she lowered her head, he was forced to lift her up.

He looked expressionless at the moment, and spoke very slowly: "Tell me, what are you doubting?"

Su Lun felt that she was about to suffocate, but she still mustered up the courage to look at him. She really wanted to know what Rhett was thinking, why did he marry her?

Is it the desire to conquer?Or freshness?Is she the only one in his heart?Is he completely subdued by himself?

Breathing slowly, she asked, "You admire Melanie, do you like her?"

Rhett's expression was completely stiff, and he stared at her, not knowing how to react.

Could it be that it was because of her reputation as a prostitute in the past that she was so suspicious of him?

Since his marriage, he thought he had done nothing inappropriate.For her, he never saw Bell again, never appeared in any tavern again.

Are these not enough?

What is his sincerity to her?Has she no heart, no eyes, no feelings?

Shock, grievance, anger, mixed together, made his chest heave violently.

He suppressed his grief and anger, clasped her arms tightly with both hands, his face was stiff, and sarcastically said: "Mrs. Butler, you are really my good wife. Who are you insulting?"

He looked like he was going to kill someone, Su Lun was frightened by him, and his face turned pale.Rhett let go of her, gave her a cold look, then looked away, picked up his hat, and hurried out of the house.

The air became extremely quiet, and Su Lun was very annoyed. He didn't know why he asked that kind of question obsessively, and Rhett's reaction proved that he was completely wrong.

If he really liked Melanie, he wouldn't have this reaction, at least he should feel guilty instead of being sad.So, she hurt him, she didn't want to.

During this period of time, some inexplicable speculations eroded her heart, and she gradually cared about many things about him, and became a little unlike herself.

She chased out the door, but she could only see the back of the carriage going away, and she had gone a long way.At this time Steve stepped forward and asked her if she was going to the hospital too.

Su Lun nodded, telling Steve to hurry up and see if he could catch up with Rhett.Unfortunately, by the time she reached the street, Rhett had long since disappeared.

Su Lun could only press the matter temporarily and went to the hospital.

With the decline of the war situation, the supplies of the hospital are gradually in short supply.

Bandages have also become in short supply. Su Lun organized everyone to clean and disinfect the soiled bandages and reuse them.In addition to locally produced penicillin, other drugs such as iodine and quinine are gradually becoming insufficient.

Su Lun can only try his best to deploy the existing medicines to maximize the use value.

When Su Lun got off work that day, she didn't see Rhett's figure. Her heart sank, and she could only let Steve drive the car, hoping to go home quickly.

Perhaps, Rhett has gone home.

When Su Lun entered the house, she heard Aurora's laughter. She was crawling around on the ground, and it was Rhett who teased her.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to walk over when Rhett had already spotted her.But he didn't say anything, handed Aurora to the Black Sister, and went upstairs by himself.

Sister Hei's sense of smell is comparable to that of a hound. She immediately smelled an unusual smell, and said to Su Lun, "Miss Su Lun, this time, you are wrong."

As she spoke, she motioned for her to go upstairs, and carried Aurora to the nursery.Su Lun was the only one left in the living room. She took a deep breath and went upstairs.
