It's true what they say: a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden.

The original staff at Tianxianglou branch were all very polite. Even when faced with water being thrown at them by these slanderers, they would still try to reason with them.

But Lu Mu was different. He had risen through the ranks in the martial arts world, so he naturally had to fiercely retort to those unreasonable people so that they would stop throwing mud at them with impunity.

Now that Lu Mu had shouted so loudly, the people on the other side were immediately speechless.

Lu Mu then continued, "Whether the young man from the Wang family died from eating food from our Tianxiang Restaurant or not, we can find out by having a doctor come and investigate."

After he finished speaking, he quickly asked a waiter to find a doctor nearby.

A short while later, Gef arrived at the Tianxianglou branch.

When the old woman saw the doctor approaching, her expression changed, and she seemed flustered. She quickly covered her face and burst into tears, pretending to be extremely heartbroken.

Upon seeing this, the doctor immediately guessed what had happened.

He didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and simply squatted down to take the pulse of the person lying on the ground.

After examining him, the doctor shook his head and sighed.

Lu Mu hurriedly asked the doctor, "Doctor, what's wrong with this person?"

"Is he really dead?"

"And what was the cause of death?"

Upon hearing this, the doctor said to Lu Mu, "This person is indeed dead. He has been dead for about three days."

“Three days? But this old woman just said that she came to our Tianshanlou branch yesterday to eat something, and that’s when she died.”

After Lu Mu said these words, the people watching the play nearby were immediately puzzled.

They stared at the old woman with suspicion, and she suddenly trembled, stammering as she hurriedly tried to explain.

"Don't listen to this doctor's nonsense! My son really did eat food from the Tianxianglou branch yesterday, and that's why he died!"

"This doctor is definitely a fraudster hired by their Tianxianglou branch!"

"Please, everyone, stand up for us, this poor mother and daughter!"

"The Tianxianglou branch is trying to kill people!"

“My son hasn’t been eating anything lately, he just insists on bringing loads of money to the Tianxianglou branch to eat!”

She kept crying and shouting, slandering the Tianxianglou branch.

Upon hearing the old woman's words, Lu Mu suddenly burst into laughter.

He laughed and laughed until tears streamed down his face, bursting into laughter right in front of everyone.

Those around him looked at his smile and were suddenly very puzzled.

Is this person crazy?

Can't come up with anything to say right away, so you're just pretending to be crazy?

Otherwise, why would you just keep laughing here without saying a word?

Just as everyone was staring at Lu Mu and laughing at him for a long time, even Zhang Ting and the others next to him were wondering why Lu Mu was suddenly laughing so loudly, they heard him suddenly speak.

“When I said that your son died yesterday after eating at our Tianxianglou branch, you immediately followed up with more details.”

"But before that, you didn't mention at all that your son had come to the Tianxianglou branch to eat yesterday."

"Now everyone can testify to me that what you just said is that your son died after eating food from our Tianxianglou branch yesterday."

He immediately cupped his hands to the onlookers, asking them to be his witnesses.

Some viewers who believed in the Tianxianglou branch quickly agreed to testify.

"Yes, we heard it all very clearly. You clearly went along with what Lu Mu said, saying that your son came to the Tianxianglou branch yesterday, ate something, and then died!"

"You can't deny it anymore, there are so many of us listening!"

"If you don't believe this doctor, I also have a doctor in my family. I can invite him over to examine your son!"

Now all that needs to be proven is that the old woman's son did indeed die three days ago, and that Lu Mu has led the old woman to say that her son only died yesterday.

All they need to do now is find other doctors to come and prove the facts, and then they can distance themselves from the Tianxianglou branch.

This also proves that the old woman deliberately came to cause trouble for the Tianxianglou branch!

The old woman didn't understand much, but upon hearing what these people were saying, she subconsciously realized that she might have said something wrong.

But she refused to admit anything and sat down next to her son, throwing a tantrum.

Lu Mu didn't give the old woman a chance and quickly sent some prominent figures in the area to fetch a doctor.

If one doctor makes a mistake, what if all the doctors in the entire capital of the Underworld Moon Kingdom were summoned?

They are the pillars of medicine in the entire Mingyue Kingdom! For decades, they have been loved and respected by the people of the entire Mingyue Kingdom.

Now that they have come to show it to the old woman's son, they are certainly not lying and are being impartial.

Then the audience saw the doctors going over to examine the corpses on the ground.

After they had finished checking everything, Lu Mu finally asked them questions.

"How many days ago did this person die?"

The doctors all shared their test results.

"This person died three days ago!"

"He must have died three days ago!"

"They definitely didn't die in the last two days!"

Lu Mu was particularly pleased after hearing what the doctors said.

He crossed his arms and did not scold the old woman much.

Those watching the commotion immediately realized, upon hearing the doctor's words, that the old woman was lying.

Their initial sympathy for the old woman had turned into intense disgust.

The people of the Dark Moon Kingdom don't like to use underhanded tactics; they are always straightforward and warm-hearted.

Seeing that the old woman had actually plotted to frame outsiders, especially since the other party was from the Great Zhou Kingdom, they immediately felt that their face had been trampled on.

They're utterly disgracing the Mingyue Kingdom!

Those who had been smashing the vegetable leaves quickly changed their target and started throwing the leaves at the old woman.

Lu Mu hadn't made any move at first, but when he saw them throwing vegetable leaves at the old woman, he worried that if something happened to her, they would blame their Tian Shang Lou branch. So he quickly ordered his men to surround the old woman.

He addressed the surrounding crowd, saying, "I apologize for making you all laugh today. We will hand this matter over to the authorities. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. After our manager returns, I will explain the situation to him and give you all a proper response. I also thank you all for your help to our Tianxianglou branch today."

He made no mention of those who were secretly plotting against the Tianxianglou branch; instead, he only thanked those who had helped them.

This made those who were trying to cheat blush with embarrassment, and they quickly shrank to the outside of the crowd and fled the place.
