Hong Gu heard this and hastily handed over the scroll to the host, wanting to leave, but...

  "Come and talk!"

  The old lady spoke, and the disciple who reported the news at the door immediately entered.

  "Grandma, it's terrible! Many disciples in the main hall have fainted..."

  "What?" Tang Hezi was shocked and stood up, but at this time another disciple outside shouted for Hong Gu.

  "Come in!" The old lady spoke displeased, and the disciple who came in immediately knelt down to report: "Grandma, dozens of disciples in the firearms room have fainted, suspected of poisoning!"

  "Poisoned?" Grandma jumped up in shock, clearly incredulous.

  "Master of the door, I'll go back and take a look!" Tang He bowed his hand and was about to run.

  "Let's go together!" Grandma led a group of people to the government office first.

  The government office had sent someone to invite Tang Jiu'er to come and treat them early in the morning because dozens of people had fainted.

  At that time, Zi Qi had just fainted, but Tang Jiu'er heard about the situation of the people in the machinery room and left Zi Hua to take care of Zi Qi. She then brought Hua Rou to hurry over and help.

  Hua Rou was actually stunned when she heard that everyone in the government office had fainted, and when she entered the main hall of the government office and saw a group of her fellow disciples lying on the ground, her mind went completely blank.

  "Don't just stand there! Help me induce vomiting quickly!"

  Tang Jiuer handed a jar of soup with added stinky grass juice to Hua Rou's hand, then went to hurriedly check on everyone's situation.

  The foul smell made Huā Róu's consciousness slightly return - although she couldn't figure out what was going on, saving people was urgent. At this time, she was giving water to the disciples who were shouting and fainting, trying to induce vomiting, while also attempting to perceive their physical condition through contact.

  One after another, she sensed several fellow disciples, and the solution that floated in Hua Rou's mind was all the same kind of antidote. Although she couldn't understand what kind of poison it was for the time being, it had nothing to do with the poison she had made, and her heart felt much more at ease.

  In the midst of busyness, Mu Jun supported the faint and dizzy Chang Sheng to her side.

  Hua Rouyi was about to open her mouth to explain when Mu Junwu slightly shook his head at her.

  Hua Rong was taken aback and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly didn't dare say anything else, and could only lower her head to feed Changsheng the medicinal broth.

  "Grandma is here!"

  With a loud shout, Hong Gu supported Grandma and led Tang Lei, Tang He Zhi, Tang Ji and others to hastily enter the house. Mu Jun Wu quietly got up and retreated to one side.

  Grandma's face sank as she swept her gaze over the crowd before calling out to Tang Jiuer, who was still examining someone: "Jiuer!"

  Tang Jiuer immediately got up and came to her grandmother: "Master of the door."

  "What's going on?"

  "They all got poisoned by the red toad venom, fortunately the toxicity is not strong and won't be fatal. Those who fainted are either physically weaker or have poorer internal strength."

  Grandma didn't put her mind at ease upon hearing that, instead she frowned: "Why would they be poisoned?"

  Tang Jiuer lowered her eyes and said: "It should be a problem with the food, otherwise so many people wouldn't have been poisoned."

  Grandma immediately turned her head and looked at Hong Gu.

  Hong Gu nodded and said: "I'll go get them!"

  "No need, I've brought them here!" A voice fell, and Tang Shiqi grabbed a kitchen maid with one hand and threw the two of them forward.

  Fat chef San Niang and helper chef Qi Niang immediately knelt down to defend themselves.

  "Grandma, I guarantee the food is clean! No problem!"

  The seventh girl nodded in agreement: "Grandma, we really didn't poison it!"

  "God is watching from above! If we have any malicious intentions, if we've got evil in our hearts, we'll definitely be struck by lightning and won't die a good death... Our intestines will rot..."

  "Alright!" Grandma stopped her from swearing: "If there's a problem, we'll find out as soon as we investigate."

  The three daughters and seven daughters immediately shut their mouths, stood up straight and waited for the result with a clear conscience.

  Hong Gu saw this and picked up the half bowl of leftover chicken soup rice from nearby, handing it over to Tang Jiu'er.

  In the crowd, Mu Jun looked at Hua Rou with concern, but saw her looking up curiously, with a face full of wonder, and no signs of tension or unease.

  He blinked his eyes and began to scan the crowd in the room.

  Tang Jiuer took the rice bowl and glanced at it, her eyebrows already slightly furrowed. She then scooped up half a spoonful and sent it into her mouth. Afterwards, she looked towards her grandmother: "There is indeed red toad poison in this dish."

  Grandma's face suddenly turned gloomy with anger.

  The flower of expectation is doubly astonishing.

  The two kitchen ladies were stunned.

  At this time, Tang Jiuer pursed her lips, as if savoring something, and then opened her mouth to speak, but Tang Shiqi suddenly kicked San Niang's body: "Didn't you say it was clean? Didn't you say there was no poison? How dare you treat the disciples of our sect...”

  "Poetic! Don't be anxious!" Tang Lei stepped forward and pulled Tang Shi Qi back, then looked at Grandma: "Master of the door, although it's said that there's poison in this meal, they've been working in the Tang family kitchen for decades, I believe it wasn't their doing."

  The third daughter and the seventh daughter immediately nodded in agreement when they heard someone willing to stand up for them.

  "Grandma, we absolutely won't poison! Not to mention the big and small fingers pointing at me for eating this meal, just I've been in Tangmen for decades, how could I not know what's proper and what's courting death? How dare we recklessly seek death!"

  "Really! Grandma, you can see clearly that it's not us, this...this must be someone else's doing!"

  Tang Shi Qi's eyes widened at once: "Someone else? Could it be that the kitchen had someone else coming in and out today?"

  Third Sister's body stiffened, and she didn't say a word. Seventh Sister, however, was like someone who had grasped a lifesaving straw and immediately shouted loudly: "There is! Someone else has been in and out, it's Huā Róu, it's Huā Róu!"

  This shout caused people around to look at Hua Rou, Hua Rou stood still on the spot, but her expression quickly changed from initial surprise to anger.

  "Stop talking nonsense!" San Niang shouted at Qi Niang: "Hua Rou has been here, but she came to deliver mountain mushrooms for me..."

  "Who knows if she's delivering mushrooms or poisoning?" Qiuniang stuck out her neck: "Today only she came, this thing isn't you, isn't me, then wouldn't it be just her poisoning? Otherwise who else could it be?"

  Qī Niáng's retort left Sān Niáng speechless for a moment - Ah, if it wasn't one of the three of them, who else could it be?

  San Niang's silence caused the people around her to look at Hua Rou with eyes full of doubt.

  Hua Rou took two steps forward, suppressing the anger in her heart and trying to remain calm as she said: "I didn't poison him, I swear!"

  "What's the use of making an oath?" Tang Shi Qi's eyes were like a snake, staring at Hua Rou: "Hasn't she poisoned anyone before? Can't you just investigate and find out?"

  She turned around and bowed to Grandma: "Master of the house, at this time, shouldn't we go to Huā Róu's room to take a look?"

  Hua Rou's expression flashed with a hint of panic, and although she tried to suppress and gather herself, Tang Jiu'er noticed the panic and furrowed her brow. However, she didn't say anything and maintained her usual silence.

  "Grandma's eyes twinkled and she nodded: 'Well, let's take a look then!'"
