[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

There was a little restraint and politeness in the voices of the two of them, and they didn't want to make trouble.

Bonnie poked her head out from behind Xiaobo and took a look. The two black men were tall and big, and they were in their prime. Their clothes were worn out, and they obviously had a bad life.Today's weather is not sweltering, but at the moment there are beads of sweat on the foreheads of the two of them, and they look a little anxious.

The two also seemed worried about scaring the two children, and took the initiative to keep a certain distance from the boys and girls.

Xiao Bo didn't speak, and looked at the two of them warily.

Even when he heard his mother's name, those pink and white thin lips were tightly closed, but they moved quietly to cover Bonnie more tightly.

"Don't get me wrong, we have no malicious intentions..." One of them took off his straw hat, anxiously hoping to show his kindness.

"Who let you in?" Xiao Bo glared at the two of them, with undeniable firmness in his childish face.

"Young master, don't be afraid, we're not here to make trouble, we're just here to apologize."

The two sides "confronted each other", and the scene was somewhat stalemate.

Soon Polk came rushing from the house. The black servant was taken aback when he saw the person coming, and then trotted over at a faster speed, "Tom, Locke, why are you here?"

"Pork, it's good to meet you. We want to know if Mrs. Wilkes is recuperating here?" The two looked at the old black man in front of them with great joy.

"What does this have to do with you?" Polk said angrily.

I don't know what I remembered, and Polk's expression became inexplicably indignant.

Both of them were a little embarrassed, and began to nervously explain their reason for coming.

Bonnie understood. She tugged at the boy's hand, but the boy carefully protected her from behind.

The two were the two organizers of the workers' strike movement yesterday, and they specially apologized for the workers bringing Scarlett and Melanie's carriage. They all called back, and Mrs. Meade also spread the news that Melanie almost died of a miscarriage to the southern aristocratic circles, and somehow it reached their ears. The two felt guilty for accidentally hurting Melanie, and I didn't know Melanie's real situation, so if I was in a hurry, I didn't invite her.

The three entangled for a while, and Polk finally agreed to bring the two of them who had repeatedly expressed their sincerity and apology into the house.

But after Polk brought Bonnie, Little Beau and the black man into the house, the black mother standing at the entrance gave them to Prissy and took them upstairs.

After Bonnie and Xiaobo went upstairs, they left Prissy and lay down on the gap between the lacquered and carved fences on the second floor and looked down.

Mama Hei looked at the person with an unfriendly expression, her huge body made her look imposing, and she said in a non-discussing tone: "Miss Lani can't see you, you should get out as soon as possible, you murderers, you attempted to kill— —”

"It's really a misunderstanding. We didn't expect to hurt her by mistake. Please, we just want to know how she is..."

Mama Hei was very angry, while the two black men begged bitterly.

Scarlett had been taking care of Melanie last night. Not long after she fell asleep, the noise downstairs made her unable to sleep.

Scarlett, who couldn't sleep at all, put on her clothes and cape, and walked out of the room without combing her hair.

"Who let them in? What about yelling and arguing for Melanie to recuperate?" She stood on the stairs and said condescendingly.

"Miss Scarlett, we..."

The two blacks recognized Scarlett, but after seeing Scarlett, their expressions became more guilty and guilty.

They first identified themselves, apologized to her, and repeated what they had said before.

Scarlett can't control so much.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw two children lying on the railing watching the excitement, and immediately asked another black maid, Mary, to take them back to the room.

Mary is more responsible than Prissy, and Bonnie was taken away before she had seen enough.

As soon as Bonnie left, Xiaobo also followed.

After dealing with Bonnie and Xiaobo, Scarlett saw that the people below were still yelling, and said impatiently: "Mother Hei, why don't you kick them out? Tell them to shut up, or someone will beat them out. "

Who the hell put them in there?

These two people also looked a little familiar.

"Miss Scarlett, go and rest first, I'm here."

Mama Hei picked up the broom at the side and made a gesture to hit the two of them on the heads. At this moment, Ashley suddenly walked in through the gate.

Tom and Locke caught sight of Ashley, dodged Mammy's broom, and rushed to Ashley.

Mama Hei still wanted to rush up, but Ashley waved her hand, Mama Hei curled her lips and retreated.

The two obviously knew Ashley, and they immediately apologized to him and explained their reason for coming.

It was at this time that Ashley's expression became a little strange. He neither expressed anger nor took any action. The three of them had a seemingly gentle conversation, but their voices became smaller and smaller. More like discussing something.

Scarlett watched this scene from upstairs, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Ashley's flickering expression told her that there might be something else going on in this matter.

etc!Scarlett frowned and recalled carefully.Isn't one of them the former black slave of the Gesanleer family?

After the black man left, Scarlett actually couldn't sleep, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she changed her clothes and went to find Ashley.

Ashley went home early this morning and brought all the things Melanie used to.

When Scarlett went to Ashley, Ashley was in Melanie's room.

Melanie, who escaped death, has not woken up today. Dr. Meade said that her body is still too weak and she must rest more.

After Scarlett handed over the task of watching Melanie to Mama Hei, she called out Ashley.

In the living room on the second floor, Scarlett and Ashley sat on adjacent printed flannel sofas.

After Melanie almost died yesterday, Ashley's shock made him look extremely haggard. His once platinum-blond hair was drooping and turning gray. The arrival of two black men made Ashley's complexion more and more ugly. It seems that you can faint in the next second.

Scarlett asked someone to bring a cup of tea to Ashley, and looked at him almost scrutinizingly.

She didn't sleep well, and she still has some headaches.

Ashley felt a little uneasy after sitting down, but didn't speak.

The inexplicable silence between the two made her a little angry. Is there nothing to say between them?

"What happened to those two free blacks?" Scarlett suppressed her sudden anger and asked in a low voice, "Your expression tells me that there must be something behind this."

Ashley said quickly: "Scarlett, don't think too much, they are here to apologize."

"Then why didn't you drive them out? Could it be because they were slaves of the Gesanleur family?" Scarlett asked puzzled.

Hearing Gesanleur, Ashley obviously froze.

Scarlett didn't miss his expression, and it really had something to do with the Gesanleur family.

She didn't know the two Gesanler brothers well, and they hadn't been in touch since the war, and Ashley obviously knew them.

"Come on, Scarlett, it's not something you should know."

"It has something to do with me too. I was with Melanie yesterday."

Ashley was already quite tired, he didn't want to deal with Scarlett's barrage of questions: "Don't push me, Scarlett."

"Ashley, tell me quickly, what's going on?" The more he didn't want to say it, the more worried Scarlett became, "Isn't it related to the 3K Klan?"

After Scarlet finished speaking casually, she found that Ashley's face immediately turned pale.

God, does it really have anything to do with the Klan?

Memories of the past suddenly flooded up, and Frank, a man who hadn't appeared in her memory for a long time, appeared in her mind.

The two people who had their own thoughts didn't even notice Reid who appeared at the corner of the corridor at some point.
