God's Daughter, Queen of Miraculous Medicine

The early morning sun shines through the clouds and onto the quiet village, but the tranquility is broken by the coming storm.

Yesterday, Lu Tingyan's decision had spread throughout the village. Li Dapeng, Zhang Hu, and Wang Er were fined for stealing and had to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days as a punishment. Wang, Li Dapeng's mother, had a burning hatred for Lu Tingyan in her heart.

Wang sat in her shabby courtyard, playing with a low-quality jade pendant she bought from the market. She had spent all her family's remaining savings on it to bribe the village head. Thinking of her son Zhang Hu being punished, she was filled with resentment and unwillingness. She gritted her teeth, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, and decided to take revenge on Lu Tingyan.

"That bitch Lu Tingyan actually dared to let my son be punished! I have to think of a way to make her unable to hold her head up in the village!" Wang said to herself, the wrinkles on her face appearing even deeper because of anger.

At this time, Aunt Wang from the village passed by Wang's house. Seeing Wang looking angry, she came up to her curiously and asked, "Wang, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

When Wang saw that it was Aunt Wang, she was moved and thought this was a good opportunity to spread rumors. She deliberately lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Aunt Wang, do you know the sweet potato vermicelli at Lu Tingyan's house? I heard that eating it can cause diarrhea and poisoning!"

When Aunt Wang heard this, her eyes widened in shock: "What? Sweet potato vermicelli can make you sick? How is that possible?"

Seeing that Aunt Wang had taken the bait, Wang was secretly delighted and continued to exaggerate, "How is it impossible? Haven't you heard? In order to make money, Lu Tingyan used some unclean things to make vermicelli. Those vermicelli look good, but eating them can kill you!"

Aunt Wang was terrified when she heard this and asked quickly, "Doesn't Lu Tingyan's family want to harm people? What should we do?"

Seeing that Aunt Wang believed it, Mrs. Wang was even more proud. She deliberately sighed and said, "Alas, I also heard it from others. However, it is better to believe it than not. Aunt Wang, you have to be careful and don't eat their vermicelli."

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would be careful. Seeing this, Wang smiled with satisfaction. She knew that as long as Aunt Wang spread this, within half a day, the whole village would know that there was something wrong with Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli.

As Wang expected, it didn't take long for the rumor that Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli was poisonous to spread in the village. The villagers talked about it, some expressed their concerns, and some directly said that they would no longer buy Lu Tingyan's vermicelli.

Aunt Wang nodded repeatedly under Mrs. Wang's earnest gaze, her expression like a chick pecking at rice, looking extremely serious. There was a hint of determination in her eyes, as if to say: "Don't worry, I will be careful not to spread this matter." Mrs. Wang looked at Aunt Wang's serious look and smiled with satisfaction in her heart. That smile was like the sunshine in early spring, warm and gentle.

Wang knew very well that information in this village spread as fast as autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. As long as Aunt Wang leaked a little bit of information, within half a day, everyone in the village would know that there was something wrong with Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli. She seemed to have foreseen that scene, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

As Wang expected, not long after, the rumor that Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli was poisonous spread in the village.

In the village, the afternoon sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on the stone road, casting mottled shadows. However, this tranquility was soon broken by a rumor. The news that Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli was poisonous spread quickly among the villagers.

Under a big tree at the entrance of the village, several villagers gathered together, whispering and talking.

Aunt Wang said worriedly: "Have you heard? Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli is poisonous!"

Uncle Li nodded with a serious expression on his face: "Yes, I heard about it too. You have to be careful. Don't buy their vermicelli anymore."

Aunt Lu explained, "But I heard that Wang spread this rumor because of her son. She had some conflicts with the Jinghe family before, and it must be revenge for what her son did yesterday."

Xiao Ming, who was standing next to him, was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Really? I've always eaten the vermicelli from Sister Yan'er's house. How could it be poisonous?"

Uncle Li sighed and said, "Xiao Ming, you are still young and don't understand these adult matters. Once this rumor spreads, it will be difficult to clear it up. We should be careful and not eat their vermicelli. What if something really happens?"

Xiao Ming was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "But...their vermicelli is really delicious."

Uncle Li patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao Ming, sometimes we have to believe rumors. After all, this is related to our health and safety. Even if Dr. Lu's family was wrongly accused, we have to think about ourselves."

Xiao Ming nodded, but there was still a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Not far away, Qiu Ju, a servant of Lu Tingyan's family, happened to pass by and heard their conversation. An indescribable emotion surged in her heart, including anger at being wronged and helplessness about the development of the situation. She knew that she had to tell the young lady as soon as possible to clarify the rumor.

At the other end of the village, under the shade of a tree, several men were sitting around a few wooden tables, sipping tea and enjoying their leisure time in the afternoon. Their conversations attracted the attention of some villagers around.

One of the burly men, named Lu Tiezhu, patted the table and said in a loud voice: "Wang is really the lucky star of our village! If she hadn't discovered this problem in time, we don't know how much loss we would have suffered."

Lu Ergou next to him nodded repeatedly and said with admiration: "Yes, yes! Wang is a kind-hearted person. She often reminds us to pay attention to food safety. If it weren't for her this time, we might still be eating the poisonous vermicelli from Lu Tingyan's house."

Zhang Daniu, who was sitting opposite, also interrupted, "That's right, that's right! Wang is a hero to our village. Not only does she not eat Lu Tingyan's vermicelli, she also told us not to buy it. This way, we can avoid harming the people in our village."

At this time, a young man next to him, named Xiao Li, could not help but interrupted: "But we have no evidence to prove that Uncle Lu's vermicelli is really poisonous. Isn't it a bit too hasty to believe Wang's words so easily? After all, yesterday Wang's son Li Dapeng..." Xiao Li was interrupted by Lu Tiezhu before he finished speaking.

Lu Tiezhu glared at Xiao Li and said seriously, "Xiao Li, you are still young and don't understand these things. We have to believe what Wang said! She is thinking about the safety of our village. Besides, Doctor Lu's family is usually not very self-disciplined. Who knows what they put in their vermicelli?"

Xiao Li was speechless after hearing what Lu Tiezhu said and could only lower his head and drink tea silently.

The surrounding villagers heard their conversation, some nodded in agreement, while others looked thoughtful.

Just like that, within half a day, the rumor that Lu Tingyan's sweet potato vermicelli was poisonous spread quickly in the village and became a topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner.

Lu Tingyan sat at the wooden table at home, holding a teacup tightly in her hand, with a serious look on her face. Qiuju hurried into the room with an anxious look on her face.

Qiu Ju panted and said, "Miss, this is bad. People in the village are saying that our sweet potato vermicelli is poisonous. What should we do?"

When Lu Tingyan heard the news, she almost dropped the cup in her hand. She raised her head, her eyes flashing with anger and helplessness: "Sure enough, this is Wang's revenge. Just because of her son's matter, she actually used this method to deal with our family."

Seeing this, Qiu Ju quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. We have to think of a way to clarify this rumor."

Lu Tingyan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "You are right, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Qiuju, go and call everyone over, and we will discuss a countermeasure."
