I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

At this moment, an angry shout suddenly rang out, like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire room.

"Who is it? Who dares to poison my wife? This is outrageous, so audacious! We must not allow such a person to remain in the world. Killing you with a knife will be considered as eliminating harm for the people!" Along with this angry shout, a burly, mighty and majestic man swept in like a whirlwind. He held a kitchen knife with a cold glow in his hand, and the blade flashed with a cold light, as if telling of the blood it had once stained.

The big man had a ferocious face, a face full of flesh, and a pair of eyes that were wide open, revealing an extremely ferocious look, like an enraged beast, ready to devour someone. He exuded a strong murderous aura that made people shudder and fear.

Lin Yan had never experienced such a chilling scene before. She felt a chill in her heart and the hairs on her body stood up. She tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and did not dare to show any fear on her face.

In a trance, the irritable Zhao Yuan flashed in her mind, the man who always strangled her neck when he disagreed with her. Compared with the couple in front of her, Zhao Yuan seemed to be reasonable to some extent. At least, he was not as cruel and brutal as this couple, which was creepy.

Facing the ignorant couple in front of her, even though she was always eloquent, she didn't dare to speak rashly. It was really unfair that she didn't die under Zhao Yuan's torture, but died inexplicably under the knife of this villager.

Just when Lin Yan was at a loss and confused, a clear and pleasant child's voice broke the silence, like a ray of dawn, instantly igniting the fire of hope deep in her heart.

"Grandpa, it's them!" Little Fugui was smart and quick-witted, pulling his grandfather along as he walked over quickly.

Xiao Fugui's father also came with him. Soon, neighbors also came after hearing the news, and even some passers-by who heard Aunt Wei's screams outside squeezed in to see what was going on.

Lin Yan looked at the dark crowd in front of her and suddenly woke up from a dream. She fell to the ground as if possessed by a mysterious force.

Her face showed a heartbreaking sadness, and tears flowed out like a flood. She sobbed softly and trembled as she recounted her tragic experience: "I was a weak woman with a miserable life, helpless and alone. My husband passed away. I had no choice but to leave my hometown and travel thousands of miles to Jinling to live with my relatives. I encountered many hardships along the way and even met vicious and cruel people. I finally arrived in Jinling after going through untold hardships. However, after asking around, I learned that my relatives had already moved away and their whereabouts were unknown."

"Thanks to Grandpa Xiao Fugui's help, I was able to survive. Now I finally have a place to stay temporarily. I made a cake..."

Her performance was so lifelike that it moved people. Her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were trembling slightly, as if she had suffered a great shock. Her eyes, which were once bright, became dim and filled with endless sorrow and fear. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she would fall down at any time. The onlookers cast sympathetic glances at her, and some even began to whisper.

"This is just an ordinary pastry, not some monster, how could it offend this lady through the air? Does this lady have an extraordinary sense of smell? Or does she have a special aversion to pastries? I'm afraid that a fart from a pig in the pigsty would be more fragrant to this lady than my pastries! To prove my innocence, please taste the freshly baked pastries to see if there is anything wrong with them?"

Lin Yan opened the package, broke a small cake into eight pieces, and handed it to everyone. Although it looked delicious and very tempting, no one present tried it. It was as if the cake was really poisonous.

Lin Yan couldn't understand why this happened. It was completely different from what she had predicted. These neighbors actually believed what Aunt Wei said. Was there poison in the cake?

Xiao Fugui stood up and took the lead in reaching out to take a piece and put it in his mouth. "I ate a big piece right after it came out of the pot. It was delicious!"

Grandpa Xiao Fugui took a piece and put it in his mouth: "It is sweet and delicious, melts in your mouth, and is really delicious."

"Really?" An old lady who couldn't help herself stepped forward and took a piece and put it in her mouth: "It's really delicious, the most delicious I've ever eaten. How much are you going to sell one for, Miss Lin?"

More and more people rushed over to share and nodded.

Lin Yan: "I haven't decided on the exact price yet. If you like it, you can exchange it with eggs or flour."

The people who were short of money thought they couldn't afford it at all, but they never expected that they could get it through bartering. So they said they wanted to go home and get some to exchange so that their children and elders could have a taste of it. And using these cakes as gifts for entertaining guests also looks very classy!

"Stop it, all of you! These are all mine!" Aunt Wei no longer rolled on the ground, but quickly stood up and tried to snatch the package from Lin Yan's hand.

Fortunately, Lin Yan had been on guard against her and instantly hugged the package tightly in her arms, preventing Aunt Wei from getting the package.

"What do you mean it's all yours? Didn't you just say that just smelling it made your stomach ache?" Lin Yan stared at Aunt Wei with wide eyes. Although she lost the cake, she received recognition and sympathy from everyone present. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Aunt Wei, who was originally rolling on the ground, stood up as if nothing had happened and rushed towards Lin Yan angrily. She pointed at the cakes in Lin Yan's hand and shouted, "It's obvious that you stole my exclusive recipe and made these cakes! So in order to kill people and silence them, you poisoned the cakes. Fortunately, I found out. From now on, no matter how many you make, they will belong to me!"

Hearing this, Lin Yan was stunned. She couldn't believe her ears. Aunt Wei's mindset changed so quickly! One second she was accusing the cakes of being poisonous and making her feel uncomfortable, and the next second she was accusing Lin Yan of stealing her recipe. How could there be such a shameless person in the world?

Lin Yan suppressed her anger and asked coldly: "Your recipe? Okay, then tell me how this pastry is made specifically?" She wanted to see what kind of lies Aunt Wei could make up.
