Soon, everyone in the family gathered around the wooden table. Lu Tingyan looked at them and said firmly, "You all know the rumors in the village, right? This is Wang's revenge on us. We can't let her conspiracy succeed."

Lu Tianhao slammed the table angrily: "Wang, this sinister woman, actually used this method to harm us! We can't just let it go!"

Lu Tianyu nodded and continued, "That's right, we can't just let it go. But we can't act impulsively. We need to come up with a reasonable way to clarify this rumor."

Jun Moyuan interrupted and said, "Yan'er, we can go and tell the villagers that our vermicelli is safe and tell them not to believe the rumors. We will open the workshop process tomorrow so that everyone can see how sweet potato vermicelli is made."

Doctor Lu stroked his beard gently and nodded in agreement: "Yuan'er is right, but our words alone are not enough. We need to find solid evidence to prove that there is no problem with our vermicelli, so that we can completely eliminate the villagers' doubts."

When Lu Tingyan heard this, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Dad, we must find the source of these rumors now. Only when we know who is spreading the rumors can we take targeted measures."

Jun Moyuan looked at Lu Tingyan, his eyes full of tenderness and support. He responded softly: "Yan'er, let me go with you to find it. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and solve them together."

So, the family sat together and began to discuss the countermeasures. The atmosphere in the whole room gradually became solemn, and everyone's face was full of seriousness and solemnity.

Lu Tingyan took a deep breath, then stood up without hesitation, walked with firm steps through the path in the village, and headed towards Auntie Wang's house. Because she knew very well that Auntie Wang was a well-known know-it-all in the village, and many news were first known by her, and many things were also spread by her. Therefore, Lu Tingyan placed her last hope on Auntie Wang, hoping to find out the source of these rumors from her.

When she reached Aunt Wang's door, she raised her hand and knocked gently. Soon, Aunt Wang's voice came from inside the house: "Who is it?"

"Auntie Wang, it's me, Tingyan." Lu Tingyan replied quickly.

The door creaked open, and when Aunt Wang saw Lu Tingyan, a hint of surprise appeared on her face: "Tingyan, why are you here? Brother Lu, come in and sit down."

Lu Tingyan and Jun Moyuan walked into the house. The dim light in the house reflected on her frowning brows. She sat on the chair opposite Aunt Wang. She asked directly: "Aunt Wang, there is a rumor in the village that my sweet potato vermicelli is poisonous. Do you know what's going on?"

When Aunt Wang heard this question, she paused in her busy work, raised her head, and her eyes flickered, as if she was a little hesitant. She stammered, "This... I also heard it from others. Tingyan, you know, people in the village always like to spread gossip. Some things are just for listening, don't take it too seriously."

Lu Tingyan frowned, her voice filled with anxiety: "Auntie Wang, this rumor has seriously affected my family's business, and may even make our family unable to recover. I must know the truth of the matter before I can find a way to clarify it."

Aunt Wang sighed, her expression becoming complicated: "Tingyan, actually... I have heard a little about the source of this rumor. But you know, I am old, and some things are not convenient for me to intervene. However, I can tell you that this rumor is indeed related to the Wang family."

Lu Tingyan's heart sank to the bottom. She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "Wang? Why did she do this?"

Aunt Wang shook her head. "I don't know the specific reason. But Wang has always been strong and unreasonable in the village. She may feel that your sweet potato vermicelli business is getting better and better, so she is jealous. Or maybe it's about her son. So, she spread this rumor to ruin your family's reputation."

An indescribable emotion surged in Lu Tingyan's heart, including anger at being wrongly accused and disappointment in Wang. She stood up and said to Aunt Wang, "Thank you for telling me this. I will find a way to find out the truth and clear my family's name."

After saying that, Lu Tingyan turned around and left the house. She already had a plan in mind. She knew that in order to dispel the rumor, she had to find solid evidence to convince the villagers that her sweet potato vermicelli was safe. At the same time, she also had to find Wang and make her pay for her actions.

After learning the truth, Lu Tingyan did not immediately confront Wang, as she knew that doing so would only make things more complicated. Instead, she chose another more sensible way to deal with the problem.
