Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 130 Ashley and Janet?

After the house was settled, Scarlett directed the servants to pack their things in her own house.Rhett went to the police station for investigation because of the report of the couple on the train, but Scarlett was not too worried. After all, Rhett's connections in the south were nothing to him. I guess I'll be back soon.Rather than accompanying him to the police station, it would be more pleasing to him to tidy up the house.After all, although many things have not been touched, they have been away for a long time, and they are covered with dust, but it takes a lot of work.

Scarlett flipped through the letters in the study, and suddenly a yellowed telegram with the Charleston postmark on it fell out.

God.Scarlett almost exclaimed, only to see that the signature on this telegram was Eleanor Butler.Why did Rhett's mother send a telegram to herself?Scarlett opened the telegram suspiciously, only to see that there was a message about Janet from Eleanor.Scarlett took a quick look and found that Eleanor had said that Janet had fallen in love with a Yankee author under the pseudonym Twelve Oaks.Twelve Oaks?The image of Ashley, the man she had admired for a long time, immediately appeared in Scarlett's mind.

It was precisely because of this man that Rhett no longer believed in his feelings.Scarlett heaved a long breath, and read on.Is Janet really in love with Ashley?This seems to be a very unreasonable thing. They don't seem to have seen it before, right?Scarlett endured the doubts in her heart and continued to read.

After Eleanor explained the whole incident, she begged Scarlett to persuade Janet, because Eleanor didn't want her daughter to marry a Yankee, and she was also a Yankee who was a writer.Eleanor's tone was sincere and pleading, making Scarlett feel like a historical sinner if she didn't help her.Eleanor said that Janet would definitely listen to her. Although Scarlett knew that she and Janet were getting along pretty well, how could Janet fall in love with Ashley?

Scarlett rubbed her head, it was such a headache.At this time, Scarlett suddenly remembered the "Charleston" incident that Rhett said. It seemed that everything was true. Rhett did not lie to herself, but she had always misunderstood Rhett.Scarlett cursed in a low voice, damn it, she was about to go out to find Rhett.

Unexpectedly, he turned around by himself, and almost bumped into Rhett who came back from the police station.

"Scarlett, it's really touching to see you care so much about me that you forgot to look at the road." Rhett still had that sarcastic expression, and his words were still so mean.This made Scarlett very annoyed, she had tolerated enough, why Rhett still refused to treat her better?

Scarlett pushed Rhett hard, and roared loudly: "Mr. Butler, I don't think I let you stay here, but you want to stay here."

Rhett suddenly sneered: "Yes, I have nothing now, I'm just a clown who depends on others. How can I compare it to the rich Mrs. Butler, who is full of money."

Scarlett saw the indifference in Rhett's eyes. This indifference made Scarlett feel that she had made another mistake, yes.Can't you try to forgive Rhett?I love him so much, why must I hurt each other?Rhett should still love himself, otherwise why would he ask for the house on Peach Tree Street for himself?Why save yourself on a train?He has nothing, shouldn't he want to occupy his own property?The thought passed for a moment, and Scarlett felt ashamed of herself for having thought it.

"Okay, Mr. Butler. I don't want to quarrel now." Scarlett looked at Rhett and said calmly.At such a moment, you must calm yourself down, Scarlett tried to persuade herself.

But Janet is really bothering me, what should I do?Scarlett asked herself repeatedly in her mind, and the sharp-eyed Rhett obviously saw the telegram in Scarlett's hand, and the Charleston postmark on it illuminated Rhett's eyes.

"I think that telegram should be related to me. Would you mind showing me?" Rhett said in a discussing tone, but he had already snatched the telegram with both hands.

Scarlett was speechless, and watched Rhett rush over, because she knew that Rhett would doubt again.The feelings that I have just calmed down are definitely going to be ruined now.

Sure enough, as Rhett read the telegram more and more nervously, Scarlett's heart was also hanging in her throat.Cold, serious, and ruthless, these words can all describe Rhett's face at this time.But what made Scarlett feel even more frightening was that Rhett gave Scarlett a look with a determination that he would never forgive her. There was resentment, helplessness, and the look of never reconciling in his eyes.

Scarlett quickly took Rhett's arm, and said in a low voice, "Ritter, it's not what you think." Scarlett begged humbly, but Rhett's face became paler and paler.

Scarlett's heart began to ache violently. It seemed Rhett had really misunderstood and would never forgive herself again.Scarlett felt that she had never been so disappointed in her life.The house on Peachtree Street was occupied, she felt distressed, Tara was bullied, she felt distressed, she was kicked out of the house by Rhett, she felt distressed, but all distressed can't compare to Rhett's expressionless expression at this moment faces.

"It's not like this, that would be like that? Scarlett, can you explain clearly?" Rhett's tone was as cold as an ice cellar, and Scarlett felt goosebumps start to appear on her body.

"Rett, I know I was wrong before, I shouldn't be like Ashley, but you have to believe me, the person I love is you." Scarlett argued weakly, but found that Rhett no longer believed expression.

In fact, as long as Scarlett tells Eleanor that Ashley is not a Yankee, but an authentic southern nobleman, then Eleanor will definitely promise Janet to like Ashley.But if that's the case, then Rhett must have dueled Ashley.Because how can a man tolerate another man liking his wife and his sister.

Scarlett's heart was in severe pain, and she said in a pleading tone: "Rett, don't worry, let's persuade Janet, and I will persuade her to change her mind."

"Will you persuade Janet? Scarlett, you should take care of yourself. I think the person who needs to be persuaded most now is you. Why do you leave me, a pauper with nothing? Doesn't it save your face? You You should go after high society and the life of nobility. If I do this, it will only drag you down." Every word of Rhett pierced Scarlett's chest like a needle, and the sharp pain made Scarlett Couldn't even breathe.

Seeing Scarlett's appearance, Rhett couldn't help feeling disgusted, it was all pretentious, but Rhett swore that he would never be fooled by Scarlett again.

"Rett, you are wrong." Scarlett tried her best to calm herself down. In fact, after experiencing so much, Scarlett had already abandoned her self-esteem and face, and turned into a humble woman.Scarlett also hates her own behavior, but if she doesn't, Rhett will never come back, so she will be even more sad.Scarlett was still thinking about it, she wasn't sure if Rhett was going to come back and fight for property with her.Because how could Rhett have nothing?

Scarlett's eyes fixed on the telegram again, and that telegram was like a fuse, causing another cold war between her and Rhett to break out.Scarlett's mood is very complicated, she doesn't know what to do, Eleanor's pleading makes Scarlett embarrassed, what is the right thing to do?Scarlett seemed to be in a mess and couldn't untangle it.

And Rhett still had that eccentric tone, which made Scarlett feel like she was going to collapse.But the smell of the soil still came over, Scarlett told herself that as long as there was soil and the sun, she would be able to survive.

Early the next morning, Scarlett went to the guest room to find Rhett who was still sleeping.

"I'm going back to Charleston today, do you want to go back together?" Scarlett asked cautiously.

Rhett sat up from the bed and sneered: "There is nothing in my house worth taking for you. I have already told you that I have nothing, and my manor no longer belongs to me."

Scarlett replied calmly: "I'm going to persuade Janet, do you like to go or not." Scarlett walked out of the guest room without looking back.

Rhett shook his head, this woman always has a kind of magical power that makes him unable to extricate himself.This feeling is like something I like, which has been pulling my direction.He still decided to go back to Charleston together, after all, he wanted to see how Scarlett handled this matter.

But that Ashley, I will definitely not let him go.Rhett thought so.

When the two arrived at the train station, Rhett said like a gentleman, "Scarlett, I advise you to be careful, the train is not a safe place, and I will never know Barbra again."

Scarlett couldn't help smiling, as long as Rhett was around, it was easy to talk about anything.Even if he encounters those robbers again, Rhett will definitely deal with them, Scarlett firmly believes in this.It would be great if their feelings could be trusted like this.Scarlett couldn't help immersing herself in her fantasy again.But the most important thing right now is to appease Janet, but what is the right way to do it?

Scarlett really didn't think about this, she really didn't want the scene of Rhett and Ashley dueling.But on the other hand, she also hopes that Janet can find her true love and live happily ever after.Don't be like her and Rhett, who caused this situation today. Scarlett hopes that both herself and Rhett can reflect on it, but Scarlett still has firm thoughts in her heart. She loves Rhett and will love him forever in this life. Rhett.
