Scarlett's Heartstrings

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

The usually quiet Tara Plantation is bustling with activity today, for it is the wedding day of Plantation Owner Rhett Butler.

In the main hall stands a handsome couple dressed in bright red wedding attire. The man is tall and strong, the woman delicate as a willow, and anyone who sees them would praise them as a perfect match made in heaven.

"The ceremony is complete!"

As soon as the officiant finishes speaking, Stuart Tarleton helps the woman beside him, "Scarlett, youre weak. Let me accompany you back to rest."

"Stop!"

A woman dressed in a bright red dress suddenly appears at the door, ignoring the surprised gazes of the guests, she gracefully walks to the main seat and sits down.

"Plantation Owner Butler, have you forgotten about me?"

Rhetts face shows no trace of the previous joy, he says coldly: "Scarlett OHara, dont be unreasonable! Today is my wedding day, I dont want to argue with you. If you know whats good for you, get back to your Twelve Oaks!"

"Ha ha." Scarlett OHara hears Rhetts words and laughs instead of getting angry, "Plantation Owner Butler is really confused with joy. I am the Plantation Mistress appointed by the President. According to the laws of the United States of America, a concubine should pay respects to the Plantation Mistress when she enters the door. Are you going to ignore the laws of our country?"

"Melanie can stand on equal footing with you, theres no need to pay respects to you." Rhetts face is as cold as ice at this moment, he says word by word: "Scarlett OHara, your position as Plantation Mistress was originally Melanies. Dont bully people too much!"

Scarlett OHara ignored Rhett, but said to the guests: "You are all high-ranking officials in the United States of America, are you also confused?"

Unfortunately, no one dared to answer Scarlett OHara. Although Scarlett OHara was appointed by the President as the Plantation Mistress, today Rhett Butler used such a grand ceremony to marry a concubine, which is already unethical.

But who let Rhett Butler be the brother most loved by the President, and he is also the famous general of the United States of America, who has fought in the south and north for many years and made many contributions, not someone they can easily offend.

At the moment of stalemate, Melanie, who had not spoken, stood up, "Sister, you served the Plantation Owner a few days earlier than me, and I should pay respects to you. Before, the Plantation Owner spared me because of my weak body, and Melanie apologizes to you."

Scarlett OHara looked at Melanies feigned weak willow appearance and said with a smile: "I also know that my sister is weak, but this rule cannot be broken, and I have to wronged my sister."

Melanies face was still smiling when she heard the words, and her hand hidden by the sleeve had already clenched tightly. She released her hand, picked up the tea cup on one side, and bowed down: "Sister, please."

As soon as Scarlett OHaras hand touched the tea cup, Melanie suddenly let go, and most of the scalding tea water was spilled on Scarlett OHaras hand.

"Snap!"

Scarlett OHara knew her idea, so she simply took the opportunity to slap Melanie back, "Cant my sister even hold tea steadily?"

Rhett hugged Melanie, who was covering her face and collapsing to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you doing, Scarlett OHara!"

"Youre worried now?" Scarlett OHara looked at Rhetts angry face, and her heart ached as if it were bleeding, "My sister cant even do this little thing of paying respects, and how can I believe that she can serve the Plantation Owner well? I was just teaching my sister how to do things."

"Youre waiting for me, Scarlett OHara!"

With that, Rhett picked up Melanie and walked out of the main hall without looking back.

Seeing Rhett leave, Scarlett OHara didnt stay much longer. She tightened her sleeves, hiding her right hand that was red from Melanies scalding, and her back was lonely and lonely.

"Plantation Mistress, how is your hand so severely scalded?"

Back in Twelve Oaks, Mammy looked at Scarlett OHaras swollen hand and said with distress: "Melanie is too ruthless, and you only slapped her once, which is too light."

"More, Im afraid I wont be able to come back." Scarlett OHara smiled bitterly, and today she actually envied Melanie a bit. If she could also get Rhetts concern like this.

Dont say scalding, even if its death, she is willing.
