Upon hearing this, Scarlett OHara laughed, "So eager to become the Plantation Mistress already?"
She stared intently into Melanies eyes and said word for word, "For my entire life, I will be the Plantation Mistress, and you, you will always just be a concubine."
"Slap!"
Rhett Butler had just arrived at the door of Twelve Oaks and, without asking for an explanation, rushed in and slapped Scarlett OHara.
Scarlett OHara covered her face, looking at the person standing in front of her, "Why is it so lively today, one after another, everyone is coming to me."
"Plantation Owner!"
Seeing Rhett Butler, Melanie immediately put on a pitiful expression, "Plantation Owner, just now I wanted to come and see Sister, but Sister made all kinds of difficulties for me and said those words to me."
"Didnt you want to make me live a life worse than death?" Scarlett OHara sneered.
Melanies tears flowed uncontrollably, and she choked, "It is the greatest blessing for Qingqing to be able to accompany the Plantation Owner, and I have never thought of competing with Sister for anything. Why does Sister have to treat me like this?"
"Its me who wants you to live a life worse than death, what does it have to do with Qingqing?"
Rhett Butler comforted Melanie as he wiped away her tears, and scolded the maids behind him, "Mrs. Qing is not yet recovered, how could you let her come to such a dirty place!"
Melanies personal maid, Prissy, bowed her head and replied, "Report to the Plantation Owner, Mrs. Qing got up early in the morning and said she wanted to go out for a walk. When passing by the door of the Plantation Mistress, she found that Mammy was deceiving the Plantation Mistress, so she wanted to come and discipline the maid for the Plantation Mistress."
After saying a few words, she started crying, "I dont know why the Plantation Mistress started scolding Mrs. Qing without asking the reason. Although our Mrs. Qing is kind, she should not be insulted like this. Plantation Owner, you must do justice for Mrs. Qing!"
Scarlett OHara looked at them coldly and sarcastically said, "Prissy is so good at acting, its a pity to be in this mansion. This play is sung, Im afraid even those famous roles cant match it."
"Slap!" Another slap, this time Rhett Butler used full strength, and Scarlett OHara directly fell on the bed. She swallowed the blood in her mouth and said with a smile, "Rhett Butler, are you very angry now, do you want to kill me right away?"
She struggled to get up, walked to Rhett Butler, and said, "Do you think you and Melanie can be together forever after I die? You are wrong, even if I die, I will make sure you and Melanie will never be at peace for the rest of your lives."
"Youre such a madwoman," Rhett Butler kicked Scarlett OHara to the ground, and said coldly, "The Plantation Mistress is ill, and Twelve Oaks is not conducive to her recuperation. Move to The Old Mill immediately."
He looked down at Scarlett OHara and said, "Its quiet there, you should sober up."
Seeing Scarlett OHaras indifferent reaction, Melanie was very dissatisfied. She leaned on Rhett Butler and said coquettishly, "Then the Plantation Owner should carefully pick a few obedient maids for Sister. A person like Mammy who deceives and hides the truth is afraid of not being able to serve Sister well."
Mammy, who was kneeling on one side, struggled desperately, "Mrs. Qing, dont talk nonsense, I have never deceived the Plantation Mistress."
Melanies eyes immediately turned red, "I know that I am of low status and cant enter this mansion. I shouldnt have been insulted by a maid. It seems that I am not worthy of being in this mansion."
Melanie cried with tears streaming down her face, and Rhett Butlers anger that had just been vented surged up again. He was really tired of Scarlett OHaras persistent presence, "A maid dares to talk back to Mrs. Qing, I see its not enough discipline from the Plantation Mistress, so I will discipline her for the Plantation Mistress."
"Come on," Rhett Butler said to the servants outside, "Take this deceitful and arrogant maid out and whip her fifty times."
"Stop it!"
Scarlett OHara saw Mammy being taken outside and struggled to get up from the ground, but was pressed down by the maids, and could only watch helplessly as Mammy was whipped by several strong women.
