Chapter 1539: 1539 I’m not afraid of her
Tan Rou dragged the maid over to her side, and then, gripping her collar, hoisted her into the air. The traditional clothing of J country was quite sturdy; despite Tan Rou pulling so tightly, there wasn’t even the sound of the fabric tearing.
“Ah! What are you going to do?” The noble young lady who had just signalled with her eyes immediately shouted, “Let her go at once, or I’ll make sure you pay for this!”
Mia was also stunned. She had seen Tan Rou throw punches last time in the laboratory building, knew only too well that her fists were formidable, but she hadn’t realized that Tan Rou was also so strong that she could lift an adult woman off the ground.
“Tan Rou… Miss Rou, calm down, please don’t kill her, otherwise, you’ll be breaking the law,” Mia said, highly alarmed.
Tan Rou frowned slightly. She had originally thought that this second thief was just as arrogant and brainless, but it turned out she even knew the law.
She let out a light chuckle and then set the maid back down, patted her shoulder, and straightened her collar, saying, “Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to wrinkle your dress. I suppose you wouldn’t mind, right?”
In the sweltering heat, the maid was scared cold sweat, and she hadn’t heard a word Tan Rou said.
Tan Rou raised her voice, “Hey, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?”
The maid snapped back to reality as if suddenly jolted, “Yes, yes, I heard you.”
Tan Rou released her shoulders, “Go on, get back to your mistress.” Then, she addressed the noble young lady, “I can apologize to you, but you must come to me in person. Say, who wants to be the first to come over?”
The noble young ladies looked at each other, none daring to step forward, especially the one who had egged the maid on. She was so scared that her legs had gone weak.
Today was their mistake; they should have brought more maids or some guards with them. If they had enough people, they could have easily overpowered this foreign woman.
Mia had witnessed Tan Rou fighting before, and now having seen her strength, she was very afraid, worried that Tan Rou would hold the previous theft against her.
“Miss Rou, I’m so sorry!” Under immense psychological pressure, Mia actually bowed her head and apologized, “It was we who deliberately bumped into you, and we should be apologizing to you; I hope you can forgive us!”
Tan Rou was somewhat surprised; this “Mia” was quite amusing. She indeed had some of the aristocracy’s flaws, but she could read the situation well. Seeing that it was not in her favor at the moment, she apologized.
In contrast, the other noble young ladies, who had been fanning the flames, still wore arrogant expressions, seemingly convinced that they had no reason to apologize to Tan Rou. Just who was this foreign woman to expect an apology from them, so high and noble?
If Tan Rou had been pressed for time, she would have let the matter rest there, but she didn’t have much to do today, so she decided to see the issue through to the end.
“I’ve received your apology, and I accept it,” Tan Rou said as she moved towards a shady area. She then gently tapped her chin and added, “What about their apologies? Just moments ago, they said it was my fault and demanded that I kneel. I feel my personal dignity has been insulted, so they must apologize to me. They don’t need to kneel, just bow and apologize will suffice.”
“You wish!” the noble young lady who had shouted loudly was the first to speak, “Thinking that we would apologize to you, you’re not even considering your own status!”
Mia intervened, “Elinka, stop talking; we were the ones who bumped into her first, and she already apologized to us. Now, it’s our turn to apologize.”
Elinka was furious, pointing at Mia she said, “And you call yourself a duke’s daughter, does your father know that you’re being bullied out here? You’re a disgrace to our nobility, a disgrace to your father!”
Mia’s face flushed with embarrassment, and she retorted angrily, “This is my own matter; you don’t need to concern yourself with it. Besides, do you think you could win against her? You have no idea how strong she is!”
“You may be afraid of her, but I’m not!” Elinka glared at Mia, “She’s only one person, and we are many; why should we be afraid of her?”
Mia still shook her head, “Elinka, calm down!”
