Chapter - 108 - Showing Love

Upon hearing the laughter, Xiao Ru swiftly turned around, her face contorting with paleness and an unsightly expression. Her tearful eyes betrayed her undisguised hatred towards Tang Li.

What Yi Minghuan's said just now left Xiao Ru heartbroken and sad, yet she couldn't bring herself to blame him. In her eyes, Yi Minghuan was deceived by Tang Li's supposed loyalty.

The responsible husband believed in Tang Li's faithfulness and considered any accusations against her as slander, so he protected her and hated her.

As long as she can prove that Tang Li likes Mo Jing and even cheated on him, then Yi Minghuan will not protect her! 

 Xiao Ru saw an opportunity to break his trust!

"Xiao'ru, don't listen to Minghuan. He loves and protects me, so he deliberately said that to anger you," Tang Li said, handing two pieces of candy to Xiao Ru with a smile.

"Just now, Minghuan and I got our marriage certificate. This is wedding candy. I'll give you two. Take it and eat it. Don't be too angry."

'I'm mad at you,' Xiao Ru said in her mind her anger evident but then she heard the next sentence.

"Have you received your marriage certificate?!" Xiao Ru exclaimed in surprise and anger, drawing attention from onlookers.

"Yeah! Didn't you tell me often, you can only be called a legal couple after you get the certificate," Tang Li replied, feigning nonchalance.

Suppressing her amusement, she shouted to the villagers, "Happy candies! Minghuan and I got married back then but he wasn't there, and even the candies weren't given out to the folks. Today, I don't have much to give to everyone but, I just want to share my happiness with everyone."

It was another great joy to have candy during these hard times. In addition to Yi Minghuan's heroic performance just now, the villagers were very supportive, and they all gathered around with smiles to give them face.

Each person took a piece of candy, and said a few auspicious words with a smile. For a while, the scene was very lively. 

As villagers gathered to receive the candies and share joyful moments, Xiao Ru, witnessing the scene as well Minghuan who had a smile on his face, felt her heart ache.

Unable to endure, she threw the candies to the ground, growling towards the crowd, "I don't want to eat this wedding candy! Tang Li! You know what you have done yourself! Yi Minghuan, don't be fooled by her!"

After shouting angrily, Xiao Ru covered her face and ran away crying, as if she had been greatly wronged. 

"..." Tang Li, annoyed by Xiao Ru's outburst, frowned as she watched her leave in tears.

Lying in a groove!

Xiao Ru's incomprehensible accusations and her portrayal of herself as a victim were enough to raise suspicions.

Tang Li decided it was time to pour dirty water on her!

"Hey, what's going on here?! Tang Li, what did Xiao'ru mean just now?" The onlookers, especially the aunts, sought to uncover the gossip thier sparkling to know.

Tang Li scolded Xiao Ru in her heart but maintained a facade of aggrieved confusion, even shedding crocodile tears.

You think you are the only white lotus who could cry! This madam can as well! 

"Woooo... I, I don't know. As soon as Xiao'ru saw Minghuan who had come back, she didn't want to talk to me. She even slandered my reputation in front of Minghuan, saying that I was indiscreet. I just heard her say that I was leading Minghuan. After knowing that we got the certificate, she changed her face on the spot... I don't understand why she became like this?"

Tang Li played the innocent victim, employing tricks and insinuations to muddy the waters further.

"She speaks ill of my daughter-in-law again and again, it's really annoying!" Yi Minghuan frowned and chimed in.

"I didn't know it was her just now, and I saved her. She came to thank me, but she said that I saved her and treated her very well. This woman has a brain problem!"

Tang Li, almost applauding in her mind! What a man!

She appreciated Yi Minghuan's support and his unknowing contribution to exposing Xiao Ru's intentions.

Not only did it show that he believed her, but it also helped prove that Xiao Ru was trying to hook him up.
