Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 103 piano teacher
"Master, a good friend, Miss Lopez, who claims to be Miss Howard is looking for you!" The housekeeper Rob reported to Tangning that day.
"Scarlett's good friend? Is it from London or Atlanta?" Tangning asked casually.
Rob replied, "From London!"
"Oh, well, I'll go see her!"
After entering the living room, a slender blonde girl with lovely dimples greeted Tangning, "Hello, Mr. Tangning, I'm Joanna Lopez! Mrs. Kanpur and Miss Howard asked me to come to you. , this is their letter to you!" Mrs. Kanpur was Scarlett's Kelly Howard, and she took her husband's surname Kanpur after she married. This is a crooked building. Some women all say that men and women are equal in foreign countries. How can you be equal if you can't even keep your surname?
After receiving the letter, Tangning found out that this Miss Lopez was a good friend of the Scarlett sisters. Because she was not satisfied with the marriage appointed by her family, she secretly boarded the ship that came to New Orleans. Therefore, the two of them asked Tangning to ask. Take care of this poor runaway girl.
"Miss Lopez, you are very brave!" Tangning said with emotion.
Lopez replied with a wry smile: "There is no way!"
"That's true, otherwise, who would want to leave their hometown! By the way, Miss Lopez, what kind of work did you do before?" Tangning asked casually.
"I've always been a home piano teacher!" Lopez replied.
Originally, Tangning was still a little worried about how to arrange for this Lopez or find a job for her. After all, there were very few jobs suitable for women in this era. If it was a man, he could send him to New York to help Edison. But women are inconvenient.
But since this Joanna used to be a tutor, especially a piano teacher, then this matter is easy to handle, just stay at her own home, and it will be fine to teach him directly when Locke is two years older. Downing and Heidi's son
In order to be cautious, Tangning had to test her skills, so she took her to Jonathan's house, because Tangning neither could play the piano, nor did the family have a piano...
Unfortunately, Jonathan was not at home this time, but fortunately, he wasn't looking for him. Tangning was looking for Catherine. Catherine said she was good at piano during the last chat.
After Joanna played a few tunes, Catherine whispered to Tangning, "I can tell that Miss Lopez has a solid piano foundation. It is enough to be an enlightened home piano teacher!"
"That's good!" Tangning breathed a sigh of relief, then said to Lopez, "Miss Lopez, please stay in my house to teach Michael and Locke's piano when he grows up, and the salary will increase by % based on your amount in London. Fifty, can you see it?"
Joanna nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Okay, thank you Mr. Tangning for taking me in!"
"Miss Lopez, you're welcome, you are helping me!" Tangning explained.
Tangning originally thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it to heart, but a few days later, Brian came to Tangning's house as a guest. After seeing Lopez and chatting a few words, his expression changed, and he called Tangning over. In the study, he asked him with a serious face, "Why did Miss Lopez come to your house to be a governess piano teacher?"
"Oh, she ran away from marriage, so..." Tangning explained the reason, then asked curiously, "How do you know Miss Lopez?"
Brian snorted coldly: "Of course I know her. She was Mrs. Kanpur, the piano teacher of Sister Scarlett's house!"
"What?! Miss Lopez turned out to be Kelly's piano teacher?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
Brian nodded and replied, "That's right, now you find something is wrong?"
Tangning suddenly realized, "Yes, actually, when she said that she had always been a home piano teacher, I felt a little wrong, but I didn't think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, since she is a home piano teacher, the constraints of her parents should be on her. If it’s not that big, then it’s impossible to run so far to escape marriage!”
"So, you'd better ask Scarlett and her sister about this matter, don't the letter that Miss Lopez gave you is fake! In fact, she caused some trouble in London, and then this Forged Scarlett's letter and ran to you to take refuge!" Brian reminded.
Tangning thought for a while, then said, "This shouldn't be possible. I read that letter and it is indeed Scarlett's handwriting, but I will send her a telegram to confirm it later!"
But the telegram that Scarlett replied proved this. Joanna was indeed a good friend of the Scarlett sisters and also their piano teacher~www.mtlnovel.com~ and she came from London to escape marriage. When they arrived in New Orleans, the letter was indeed handwritten by Scarlett.
At this point, Tangning thought it was all right, but two days later, Brian came again, and after reading Scarlett's reply, she smiled mysteriously, "Tony, I have something to tell you, but You have to be mentally prepared! Don't be frightened!"
"What can scare me? I haven't experienced much over the years?" Tangning replied disapprovingly.
"After seeing this Miss Lopez at your house, I went back and inquired about my friends in London, and then I learned a piece of news that shocked me. Twenty days ago, Scarlett's brother-in-law, Kanpur Madam's husband, Mr. Edward Kanpur, was killed!" Brian said in a deep voice.
Then Brian took a step closer and asked, "Do you know who killed him?"
At this moment, an extremely absurd conjecture flashed through Tangning's mind, so she asked, "Should it be?"
Brian nodded heavily and said, "Yes, that's Miss Joanna Lopez! Now the whole Scotland Yard is looking for her! But no one thought she would escape to New Orleans on the other side of the ocean!"
"Since it was Miss Lopez who killed Mr. Kanpur, why did Scarlett write to me and ask me to take care of her?" Tangning asked in confusion, but a more thought flashed in his mind. As absurd but also very likely to be true conjectures...

There are six ordinary-looking eucalyptus in the front, but when I wear it in the back, it's amazing. I look forward to the next one.
