Chapter - 42 - Truth

"This fish soup is not for you." Yi Minghuan said coldly. 

"We are all family, it's embarrassing for you to say that. Let the villagers know about it. Just the two of you drinking fish soup and making us all feel greedy. Do you still have any shame?" Yi Wanjing laughed meanly and said.

"Then you have to tell someone for them to believe it." Tang Li stood at the door of the kitchen, looking at Yi Wanjing sarcastically, "People in the village will only believe that you are the ones who are drinking fish soup and we are the ones who are watching you eat."

Yi Wanjing's face turned red from her anger. Suddenly he seemed to have a  revelation and pointed at Tang Li, screaming: "It's you, you filthy woman, who poured water on my mother, right?!" 

"So what if it's me? Do you dare to beat me?" Tang Li narrowed her eyes, grinned and said confidently. 

Even if he knew the truth, it would only make him angrier. With Yi Minghuan around, he wouldn't dare to touch her.

Yi Wanjing felt his anger boiling over and raised his hand angrily about to slap Tang Li across the face. 

However, Yi Minghuan's cool voice came from behind him: "If you dare to hit her once, I will hit you ten times." 

Yi Wanjing's raised hand trembled for a long time, but he did not dare to slap her any more.

He put down his hand resentfully and pointed at Tang Li, and scolded: "Damn it! You wait!" 

Tang Li sneered behind his back, feeling unafraid. Even without Yi Minghuan, she had plenty of ways to handle him.

However, she was the one who poured Gu Xiulan with dirty water, and she felt that she should explain the truth to Yi Minghuan now that they are away from the villagers.

Tang Li expected Yi Minghuan to ask her, but instead, he put out the fire and put the fish in the pot without a word.

"Why aren't you asking me?" Tang Li couldn't help but ask.

"Ask you what?" Yi Minghuan raised his head.

Although his face was still expressionless, Tang Li could see the confusion in his eyes at a glance.

He genuinely didn't know what she was talking about.

"Of course you should ask me about what happened. I was obviously the one who poured dirty water on her. Why did the villagers say that Gu Xiulan fell into the water basin by herself just now?" Tang Li leaned in closer to him, lowered her voice, and stared intently. She seemed a bit frantic.

She felt that no one would plead guilty as eagerly as herself. She was eager to confess, as if she was afraid that no one would know she had done something wrong.

"Soldiers are always quick to spot lies." Yi Minghuan was silent for a while, and praised her: "You did a good job." 

Tang Li, "..." 

He didn't condemn her, and even praised her sincerely!

Ahh! The pressure suddenly intensified. He was such a good man, and she felt like she was falling for him.

But Yi Minghuan probably treated her well out of responsibility, not because he liked her. She felt like she was going to vomit just thinking about it.

What to do? How to do?

Should she quickly find a way to lose weight, seduce him with her beauty, or sleep with him?

Stop! Stop!

Tang Li hurriedly lowered her head in embarrassment and shook off those inappropriate thoughts.

She hadn't even turned her horoscope yet. She just got along with Yi Minghuan on the first day, and she thought about such an 'in-depth' question. It's really shameful! 

Suddenly, Tang Li froze because there was a big hand on her forehead. The slightly rough, cool touch pressed against her slightly warm forehead, and she couldn't ignore it even if she tried.

She raised her head slightly, met Yi Minghuan's deep gaze, and heard him ask, "Do you have a headache? Why do you keep shaking your head?".....
