Wen Shutang pushed the door and walked out. The three children were curious, so they followed Wen Shutang.
Zhou Tong frowned and looked after the two children more closely.
The guests outside, who were originally lively and orderly, were now attracted by the sound. They all stood up and gathered around the kitchen door, wanting to find out what was going on.
Wen Shutang frowned slightly. Was the sound coming from the kitchen? Could it be related to Xiao Yizhuo?
Wen Shutang was just wondering, and the next second he saw Xiao Yizhuo walking out of the kitchen with a woman.
The posture was just like that of escorting a prisoner. Xiao Yizhuo had a stern expression. The woman being escorted kept twisting her body and struggling, shouting some dirty words.
"You shameless pervert! You laid hands on me in broad daylight! Do you want to save my reputation?"
Xiao Yizhuo did not say anything, but he did not loosen the strength in his hands at all. Instead, he increased his strength a bit. The woman grimaced in pain and dared not speak anymore.
Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, and then pointed at Xiao Yizhuo and started whispering.
"Isn't this the husband of the girl from the Wen family? Why is he flirting with this girl? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"Yeah, this man looks serious, but I never thought he would touch a girl in broad daylight. He is so shameless."
Hearing these words, Wen Shutang frowned immediately. She was not angry because Xiao Yizhuo had contact with other women, but she was upset because she heard these people slandering Xiao Yizhuo.
Wen Shutang glared at those who were gossiping. Only then did they realize that Wen Shutang was standing behind them, and they immediately shut up.
Wen Shutang pushed through the crowd and walked to Xiao Yizhuo's side. Upon closer inspection, he found that the woman being held was also an old acquaintance. It was Xu Chunhua, who used to have a "good relationship" with her.
When he saw that it was Xu Chunhua, Wen Shutang was stunned at first, then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yizhuo.
"What did she do?"
When Xiao Yizhuo heard that Wen Shutang's first sentence was not to question him, but to directly ask what Xu Chunhua had done wrong, his heart softened.
He had excellent hearing, so naturally he heard the villagers' whispers. He was a little worried that Wen Shutang would be angry, but now he was completely relieved.
Xiao Yizhuo was about to answer Wen Shutang's question when he was interrupted by a female voice.
A woman rushed out from the crowd, crying and trying to beat Xiao Yizhuo.
"You are such a shameless person! What have you done to my daughter? You are so shameless. How can she, a girl, have any shame? How can she get married in the future if you touch her body?"
The moment Wen Shutang saw this lady, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face. The people he met today were all old acquaintances.
The woman in front of him who only thunders but does not rain and who can only shout but not cry is Aunt Wang, Xu Chunhua's mother.
Xiao Yizhuo frowned slightly, held Xu Chunhua with one hand and turned the defense line, easily blocking Aunt Wang who was about to throw a tantrum and beat him.
At this time, someone in the crowd saw that Aunt Wang was screaming so loudly, so he began to persuade Xiao Yizhuo.
"Young man, you are a grown man, why are you arguing with a little girl? Even if this little girl bumped into you, you can't hold her like a prisoner. If you have anything to say, talk to her nicely and let her go."
"That's right, it's unacceptable for you to treat a girl like this no matter what."
"You are a grown man after all, but you are so narrow-minded."
Hearing what everyone said, Wen Shutang immediately frowned, turned his head and glared at them, and the villager who had just spoken immediately stopped talking.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang simply sat down on the ground and started crying.
"Oh, there's no way to survive. They rely on the money they make to look down on us and don't treat us orphans and widows as human beings!"
Xiao Yizhuo was given a headache by her noise. He frowned slightly and looked at Wen Shutang, speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant voice.
"I just came to the kitchen to serve food and saw this woman pouring white powder into the pot. It might be poisoning."
Xiao Yizhuo's voice was not very loud, but it was loud enough for everyone present to hear, and everyone was stunned on the spot.
Aunt Wang, who had been crying and shouting, suddenly became silent and stopped crying.
Xu Chunhua gritted her teeth and struggled: "You said I poisoned it, right? I just... just checked whether the food was ready or not!"
Xiao Yizhuo said calmly, "To see if there was any poison, we can send the food in the pot to the government to check if there is any poison."
Hearing about the government, Xu Chunhua panicked and screamed, "No! I didn't poison you! Why are you taking me to the government?"
As she spoke, she struggled violently. As she struggled, a small paper bag flew out of her arms and fell right at Xiao Wan's feet.
Xiao Wan squatted down, picked up the small paper bag and opened it. Sure enough, it was full of white powder.
She held the paper bag in both hands, put it to her nose and sniffed it, then frowned immediately.
"This smell... is tung oil seed! It tastes sweet, slightly spicy, cold in nature, and highly toxic. If taken in excess, it can cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and in severe cases, it can even cause kidney disease."
Xiao Wan looked at the white powder in front of him with a serious expression and carefully wrapped it in paper.
After hearing what Xiao Wan said, Xu Chunhua's face suddenly turned pale and she trembled slightly.
After hearing what Xiao Wan said, everyone gasped and couldn't imagine what would happen to them if they ate the food containing tung seeds.
Moreover, they just saw with their own eyes that the paper bag fell out of Xu Chunhua's arms. Although Xiao Yizhuo said that she drugged her, it remains to be seen whether she really did.
The villagers are the kind of people who enjoy watching the fun, but once the matter touches upon their own interests or lives, they will definitely regard this matter as more important than anything else.
They didn't care whether Xu Chunhua really drugged them or not. They only knew that Xu Chunhua might threaten their lives now.
For a moment, the villagers who had just criticized Xiao Yizhuo now directed their anger at Xu Chunhua and Aunt Wang who had been crying.
"How could you do this! This is so vicious!"
"That's right. Today is the wedding day of the second son of the Wen family, and you actually poisoned their table? This is going to damage your virtue!"
"Isn't it? Fortunately, this boy found us, otherwise we would all have stomachaches today, or even die!"
"If we all get sick from eating at the Wen family's banquet, or even if someone dies, then the Wen family will have no way to explain themselves. This is simply too vicious!"
