MS. TAN IS THE REAL BOSS

Chapter 1538: 1538 bumped into Mia

The next morning, after completing the examination for the King, Tan Rou came out of the royal palace; she planned to pick up the box at Kas’s flower shop first and then go look for Zhuang Liu.

Today was even hotter than yesterday. Tan Rou applied several layers of sunscreen before daring to step outside. However, sunscreen could only protect against the sun, not the heat.

As she walked, Tan Rou pondered whether she could invent a machine for summer use, something portable that could also emit cool air. When one’s mind wanders, one is prone to daydreaming, and daydreaming can easily lead to collisions.

“Ouch, are you blind?” a woman yelled at Tan Rou, “Didn’t you see our miss here too?”

The woman’s shouting dispelled the little bit of inspiration in Tan Rou’s mind, but she acknowledged that it was indeed her fault to be distracted while walking. Her first reaction was to apologize to the person she had bumped into.

“Sorry, I was just distracted,” Tan Rou said.

“Oh, isn’t this the favorite of the princess? Why are you walking here alone?” another woman said sarcastically.

Following the voice, Tan Rou recognized the second speaker; wasn’t she the second thief who stole from them? Judging by her entourage, she must have gone back home to resume her role as the Duke’s daughter.

“Oh, isn’t this the thief who stole our research materials?” Tan Rou asked with a smile, “How come you’re not locked up in prison?”

“You!” Mia’s face turned red with anger, “You, you’re talking nonsense!”

Several noble daughters were alongside Mia, and upon hearing Tan Rou’s words, they immediately asked, “Mia, is what she said true? Did you really steal their research materials?”

Another noble daughter added, “Mia, didn’t you say last time that it was just a rumor?”

Mia shouted, “It’s all rumors, all of it! I never did such a thing!”

“Oh,” Tan Rou intentionally said, “The thief was Mr. Xite from the Duke Mahri’s house, right?”

Mia wished she could kill Tan Rou with her glare, “Yes, it was Xite.”

No one believed her words; the few noble daughters not only showed skeptical expressions but also snickered at her secretly.

In the circle of nobility, the news of her and Xite being caught stealing had already spread. Although there were others engaged in unfair competition in private, it’s one thing to commit the act, another to be caught.

Everyone has done wrong, but why were only they caught? Because they were foolish, of course.

Tan Rou still had things to pick up, so she didn’t plan to chat with Mia in the heatwave, “I still have matters to attend to, so I won’t chat with you. Next time we meet, let’s discuss the issue of research materials, shall we?”

“Stop right there!” Mia’s maidservant would not let her leave, “Do you think you can just bump into our miss and leave so easily?”

Tan Rou then realized—Mia had deliberately come to pick a fight. There was a group of them, but Tan Rou was alone. Tan Rou hadn’t seen them because she was deep in thought, but with so many of them, surely, one would have seen Tan Rou, right?

That could only lead to one conclusion: Mia and her group had already seen Tan Rou and had intentionally bumped into her.

“Oh, so what would you like to do?” Tan Rou was not one to be trifled with. Whether she wanted to fight depended on whether she had time that day. Anyway, she had a whole day to spend outside, so she might as well have some fun with these noble daughters.

“You need to kneel and apologize to the young ladies!” another very arrogant maidservant stepped forward and said.

Mia hesitated slightly, “Isn’t that taking things too far?”

The young ladies beside her brainwashed her, “Mia, you are the daughter of Duke Doreld, the noble Miss Mia. She bumped into you; she should kneel and apologize to you.”

Still, Mia felt that wasn’t right; she just wanted to give this foreign woman a small lesson, not to make her kneel to herself, “But…”

One of the young ladies gave her maidservant a look, and immediately, the maidservant stepped in front of Tan Rou and said loudly, “Miss Mia is asking you to kneel and apologize, didn’t you hear her?”

Mia said anxiously, “Wait, I didn’t ask her to kneel, stop talking nonsense…”

Tan Rou moved her neck a bit, then asked, “What did you just say? Could you please repeat that?”

The maidservant said, “I mean, Miss Mia is asking you, uh—”
