The villagers here may dare to defy Junior Officer Gao when they get aggressive, but they wouldn't dare to disregard Manager Luo. Seeing Manager Luo arriving with so many villagers, including guardians armed with knives and guns, they all dared not act rashly.
Manager Luo said loudly, "Madam Chen is my young master's needlework master, she's a part of Tang Garden. Whoever bullies her is bullying Tang Garden, making an enemy of me, and of my master, a high-ranking official."
The people of Tang Garden had always been low-key, never boasting of their master's official position. But today, in order to defend Chen Afu, Manager Luo made the rank of their master public.
Such a high-ranking official, indeed.
Upon hearing this, the furious crowd lowered their "weapons".
An indignant man approached and asked, "Mr. Luo, Chen Afu, that wicked woman, beat my mother into this state. What do you have to say about that?"
