One, two, the groans of Mammy grew weaker and weaker. Scarlett OHara mustered all her strength to break free from the maids grip and crawled out, holding the unconscious Mammy, crying, "Stop, stop, it will kill someone if it goes on."
Rhett Butler, standing in front of the door, was unmoved and said, "Add another hundred lashes, and if the Plantation Mistress pleads for mercy, whip her as well."
Scarlett OHara tightly hugged Mammy, and the lashes fell on her body, each one was a burning pain, but she tried her best to endure it and didnt make a sound.
Rhett Butler watched Scarlett OHara, who was beaten to the point of skin and flesh being torn apart, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He was tired of her appearance, always so stubborn.
He wanted to see when she would finally beg for mercy, but she passed out on the ground without ever pleading with Rhett Butler.
"Enough," Rhett Butler finally signaled the women to stop, looking at the two bloody figures lying not far away, he said, "Carry them to The Old Mill, there is a banquet in the palace the day after tomorrow, and we cant let her spoil everyones fun." After that, he took Melanie back to Sunnyside.
"Plantation Owner, are you tired of Qingqing?"
For the first time, Rhett Butler showed a distracted look in front of Melanie, and Melanie was very worried. She could feel that Rhett Butlers feelings for Scarlett OHara were not as simple as they seemed.
"Of course not, how could I be tired of you?" Rhett Butler kissed Melanies forehead and comforted, "Its just some annoying things in the government recently, I have to go to the study to handle some things, you rest well."
After Rhett Butler left, Melanie clenched her skirt, hating to say: "Scarlett OHara must not be kept, as long as she is gone, as long as she is dead, the position of Plantation Mistress will be mine, I must find a chance to kill her."
The maid, Prissy, turned her eyes and said, "Madam, now that the Plantation Owner has beaten Scarlett OHara to The Old Mill, we just need to do a little bit of work in her diet, arrange some incompatible foods, and soon Scarlett OHara will die due to physical decline. At that time, the Plantation Mistress will be you."
"You girl, where did you hear these tricks?" Melanie covered her face and laughed, "Its a pity that Sister Plantation Mistress is weak and cannot bear the position of Plantation Mistress."
"Plantation Mistress is right," Prissy flattered, "Only you are worthy of being the Plantation Mistress of the Butler Manor, others are just clowns."
Melanie was obviously very pleased with these words, and at this time she was smiling and couldnt close her mouth, "Quickly pour a cup of tea for this Plantation Mistress, this Plantation Mistress has to pay attention to Sisters diet. After all, Sisters health cannot be delayed."
In the study, Rhett Butler took out a portrait from the secret compartment. In the portrait, a girl in a yellow dress was sitting in front of a dilapidated thatched cottage, but the girls face was not painted out.
Ever since he was rescued by Qingqing eight years ago on the mountain, he always dreams of this girl, but no matter how hard he tries, the girls face is always like wearing a veil and cant be seen clearly.
He once thought that this girl was Qingqing, but recently he has a strange idea, he actually feels that this girl is not Qingqing.
Rhett Butler has always wanted to know what happened to him eight years ago, but no one knows, the subordinates around him were all replaced, and their life and death are unknown.
"Blue Shadow"
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue figure flashed into the room in an instant.
"Find out again, why were the people around me transferred, and who is the little girl who saved me, why are so many people hiding it!"
"Yes"
But Rhett Butler also understood that his affairs would always be very difficult to investigate: "If there is anything strange, report to me immediately."
Rhett Butler paced to the window and murmured, "What exactly are they trying to hide from me..."
