Tang Li couldn't stand idly by and she didn't have the heart to wait here, let alone go to her mother's house by herself so her worry for Yi Minghuan pushed her to ride after him.
Navigating through the village's numerous alleys, she followed the sounds of commotion, finally arriving at a scene that terrified her from a distance.
Yi Minghuan had positioned himself in front of a mad cow, acting swiftly to save Xiao Ru from the oncoming danger. He pushed her out of harm's way, narrowly avoiding the cow's impact.
In a daring move, he punched the cow's head, momentarily stunning the agitated animal.
Seizing the opportunity, he leaped, forcefully striking the cow's side and bringing it to the ground!
"Okay!!" Seeing this, the onlookers all exclaimed loudly, and I don't know who it was that they took the lead in applauding.
The onlookers erupted in applause, and Tang Li, witnessing this heroic feat, felt a wave of relief washing over her.
Leaving her bicycle behind, she collected her belongings and approached the scene.
Yi Minghuan also took a deep breath of relief. He pressed down on the cow and shouted at the other guards: "Take the rope and tie it up!"
As the others tied up the cow's hooves with ropes so that it could not break free, Zhong Yuhan praised Yi Minghuan for his remarkable abilities.
"Minghuan this time it's thanks to you!" Zhong Yuhan grinned, gave him a thumbs up, and said with admiration: "You still have the ability!"
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Yi Minghuan remained silent, his attention turning to Tang Li, who was making her way towards him.
Just as he was about to greet her, Xiao Ru intercepted him, expressing her gratitude with admiration in her eyes. Her voice was soft as she thanked him for saving her from what she believed was imminent danger.
"Yi Minghuan, thank you for rushing over to save me. I was scared to death just now. I almost thought I was going to be hit to death! Fortunately, you are here. You are so kind to me..."
Xiao Ru already had feelings for Yi Minghuan, not to mention that just now Yi Minghuan saved her from danger like a hero, so her heart fell completely.
At this moment, she looked at Yi Minghuan with light in her eyes, and she felt that Yi Minghuan must have had a good impression of her and even liked her which is why he rushed to save her in spite of the danger just now.
Tang Li, standing nearby, heard Xiao Ru's words and couldn't believe her ears.
'You're too good to me'? What audacity!
Anyone in that situation would have pushed away the person they were saving; it wasn't possible to discern who it was in that chaos.
Tang Li couldn't fathom the audacity of Xiao Ru's shameless words!
Muttering thousands of "MMP" in her mind, Tang Li refrained from speaking, eager to see how Yi Minghuan would respond to this rotten peach blossom!
Yi Minghuan, clearly irritated, confronted Xiao Ru with a venomous tone, "You know very well it wasn't you I saved. I Would have saved anyone in that situation. I won't let you escape getting hit by a bull next time; maybe it'll give you a better memory. Don't spout nonsense and tarnish my daughter-in-law's reputation!"
'He hates this woman for defaming his wife!'
Tang Li's face lit up as she listened to Yi Minghuan's response. She was pleased to witness him defending her honor against Xiao Ru's baseless accusations.
Their chief said that men are not allowed to hit women directly, but when some women are too annoying and immoral, as long as they don't kill anyone, it is necessary to take the opportunity to punish them and let them have a better memory.
Yi Minghuan expressed regret that Xiao Ru hadn't suffered more consequences for her actions. He held strong disdain for her immoral behavior, indicating that he wouldn't mind seeing her punished for her lies.
"You, how could you..." Xiao Ru, shattered and shocked, couldn't comprehend Yi Minghuan's scathing words.
Xiao Ru looked at him in pain and shock, her pretty face turned pale, and her heart was broken.
"Pfft." Tang Li, enjoying the moment, couldn't help but burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all.
