"What a shame that we can't finish such a big table of delicious food." Nangong Xi sighed as she looked at the food on the table.

Everyone:...

Although it's a waste of such a large table of food, isn't the most important thing now to catch the culprit who poisoned the food?

"Miss Nangong, don't feel sad. I will ask the restaurant to send another table over." Master Mingpeng said with a smile.

He knew that Nangong Xi attached great importance to eating!

In order to avoid any problems with the food this time, Master Mingpeng did not instruct anyone else, but asked Mingrui to go there in person.

Not long after, Mingda, the younger brother of Master Mingpeng, came with the housekeeper.

"Brother, you're back. The food is almost cold. Why don't you eat quickly?" Mingda said with a smile when he saw that the food on the table had not been touched.

"Someone has added ingredients to the food. How can we eat it?" Master Mingpeng said coldly.

"Someone added something new to the food? What did they add?" Mingda pretended to be stupid on the surface, but he was actually extremely panicked.

"Aren't you the one who knows best what to add?" The lame old man looked at him coldly.

"Uncle, what do you mean? I have been practicing in my own yard. How should I know what ingredients are added to your food?" Mingda looked depressed.

"Okay, Mingda, stop pretending. It was you who put drugs in the food while we were out welcoming the distinguished guests." The lame old man obviously didn't want to argue with him any more, so he said it directly.

"I poisoned the food? Why would I do that?" Mingda still refused to admit it.

He thought the lame old man was just suspicious and had no evidence at all.

"That's exactly what we want to ask you, why do you do this?" The lame old man looked at him coldly.

"This... I... I am innocent. I never did it." Mingda kept crying out for injustice.

"What happened?" As soon as the words fell, a lame old woman came out, supported by someone.

"Mom, they wrongly accused me of poisoning the food." Seeing the old woman coming, Mingda seemed to have found a backer and said with a face full of grievance.

"Are you guys getting senile? Don't you know that Mingda has been an honest child since he was young? How could he poison the food? He doesn't have the courage to do so." The old woman angrily poked the ground with her cane.

"We are not senile. It was indeed him who poisoned the food on the table." One of the lame old men said coldly.

"Nonsense, Mingda would never do such a thing." The old woman said firmly.

"Then let him come and eat the meal." The other lame old man said and looked at Mingda.

"Dad, what do you want to do? You clearly knew that the food was poisonous, but you still let me eat it." Mingda panicked when he heard that, and he shrank behind the old woman.

"Old man, do you still have a conscience? Mingda is our only child, and you let him eat poisonous food." The old woman said viciously.

"If he didn't poison, what is he afraid of?" said the lame old man.

“Just because he didn’t poison it doesn’t mean the food isn’t poisonous,” the old woman roared.

"It's so noisy." Nangong Xi muttered, and directly urged the truth talisman in his hand to hit Mingda.

After the truth talisman took effect, Mingda's originally innocent and aggrieved look changed immediately.

Seeing the viciousness in Mingda's eyes, even the old woman who had been protecting him was a little confused.

She couldn't understand why her always honest and well-behaved son would have such a look in his eyes.

"Tell me, why did you poison the food?" Nangong Xi asked.

"At first I just wanted a small revenge. I made it so that the chefs couldn't get out of bed, so that when Mingtian and his son came back they would have no food to eat, and they would anger the guests." Mingda replied.

"Who knew that these three old men would support Mingtian so much? They actually went to the restaurant and ordered a table of food. I didn't accept it, so I poisoned the food when they went out to greet you." Mingda paused and continued.

"What benefit will this bring to you?" Nangong Xi was very puzzled.

"Benefits? The benefit is naturally to let Mingtian give up his position." Mingda's eyes were full of madness.

"Give way? Even if I give way, it won't be your turn to sit in this position." Master Mingpeng said coldly.

"Then keep giving way. I don't believe it will not be my turn." Mingda roared when he heard it.

The three old men could hardly suppress the anger in their eyes when they heard this!

The old woman fell to the ground in fear!

"Do you know how important this distinguished guest is to our West Cape?" The lame old man looked at Mingda coldly.

"I don't care about that. I just want Mingtian to give up his seat to me." Mingda roared.

Nangong Xi: ...

He traveled to all four cloaks and finally saw someone who wanted to seize the position of cloak master.

Unfortunately, the means were too crude and doomed to fail!

"Mingda, you really disappoint me." Mingda's father, the third old man of Pengzhu Mansion, was full of disappointment.

"What does your disappointment have to do with me? You are useless. The previous owner of the tent was the second uncle's son. He finally died, but you didn't know how to fight for me and let Mingtian take the position." Mingda pointed at the third old man and roared.

"Why don't you let you be the owner of this tent? Don't you have any idea?" The third old man felt that he was about to be pissed to death by him.

"Why? It's because you are cowardly and don't dare to fight or grab." Mingda's face was full of disgust.

"Fight? Rob? If you work harder for yourself, do you still need to fight and rob?" The third old man said, covering his chest and almost suffocating from anger.

"Third brother, calm down and take care of yourself." The second old man patted him on the back and said.

"Mingda, you are wrong. It's just a meal. Even if you don't get to eat it, Miss Nangong won't be angry. I won't give up my seat because of this." Master Mingpeng looked at Mingda and said.

Nangong Xi: ...

It’s just a meal, it’s really not necessary!

"Maybe she won't be angry if she doesn't get to eat it, but what if she is poisoned?" There was a hint of madness in Mingda's eyes.

"This girl won't be poisoned." Nangong Xi spoke.

"You...what kind of magic did you cast on my son? Why is my son suddenly talking nonsense?" The old woman on the side pointed at Nangong Xi and questioned.

"Magic? It's just a truth talisman. Do you want to try it too?" Nangong Xi said and took out another truth talisman.

"No, I don't want it." The old woman was so scared that she hid behind the third old man.

Nangong Xi was just trying to scare her. How could he waste a truth talisman just for her?

"Master Mingpeng, this is your family affair, you should handle it yourselves." Nangong Xi looked at Master Mingpeng.

Except for Han Feng's family, none of these four tent owners' families is worry-free.

"Miss Nangong, the food is here. Why don't we eat in the guest house?" At this moment, Mingrui came in with his men, carrying several food boxes.

He felt that this place was indeed not suitable for eating!
