"This is aimed at you. Do you need any help?"

Qin Baiyi looked at Mo Qianshang. This matter was relatively easy to resolve. If it wasn't handled well, her reputation would be ruined, and it would be difficult to clear her name later.

"No need, I know what I'm doing." Mo Qianshang declined his offer; she preferred to handle things herself rather than rely on others.

The shop assistant at Meng's restaurant was quick-witted. He knew from the scene that he couldn't handle it, so he immediately went to find Meng's wife, who was in charge, and Meng Zhuo came along with her.

"Take good care of the children for me, I'm going to check on them." Mo Qianshang entrusted the children to Qin Baiyi and prepared to go over.

"Mother, will nothing bad happen? This is obviously someone who came here out of jealousy to cause trouble. Everything you make is good, how could it be poisoned!" Qin Heming was a little angry. How could these people be so wicked?

He looked at Mo Qianshang with concern, fearing that something might happen to her.

Qin Heming glared at his adoptive father, truly unable to understand what his father was thinking. Not only did he not tell his mother his true identity, but now he wasn't even helping her. Qin Heming was truly disappointed in his father.

Qin Baiyi was somewhat bewildered by the glare. He was genuinely innocent and had no idea why his eldest son was glaring at him. He also genuinely wanted to help.

"Why don't you come with Mommy, Uncle Qin? We'll stay at Meng's shop and nothing will happen. There are staff there, so we won't wander off." Qin Zixuan was also a little worried. Even at a time like this, his father was still oblivious. It was really a headache. What if something happened to his mother?

They completely forgot how fierce Mo Qianshang had been before.

Qin Baiyi thought they made sense and nodded in agreement. "I know you can handle it, but the little ones' worries are not unfounded. Look at those men, they are not vicious people, but they look like they are not to be trifled with."

Mo Qianshang could also see that if things really got out of hand, and she got hurt, the children would probably worry so much that they wouldn't be able to eat, and might even feel guilty.

Mo Qianshang agreed. She led the children through the crowd to Meng Niangzi's side and had the waiter take the children into the house.

"Hey, Lady Mo is here! Lady Mo, you have to give us an explanation! My man is in this state, who's going to take responsibility!"

The woman, her eyes red, roared at Mo Qianshang. Her sorrow, grief, and anger seemed genuine. It was hard to tell whether she was just a good actress or genuinely unaware of the situation.

If she hadn't known that this person was there to cause trouble, Mo Qianshang herself would have believed it.

"Yes, Madam Mo, please give us an explanation. Otherwise, who would dare to buy your products? Don't you all agree?"

There were quite a few people in the crowd who were stirring up trouble. They must have been invited by Manager Zhao. Mo Qianshang remembered their faces.

Madam Meng took Mo Qianshang's hand and said, "Why did you come? It's not safe here. You go inside first, I'll handle this."

Mo Qianshang shook her head and refused, "Sister Meng, this matter is directed at me. I've dragged you all into this."

Madam Meng hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and realized that others would also want a piece of this big cake. Meng's family had already gotten a share of the pie, and others would also want to do this business.

"Don't say that. If it weren't for you, our shop would still be in dire straits. We'd be lucky to break even, let alone make a profit. There are quite a few people who don't like Meng's shop. Don't take all that on yourself. Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

Meng Niangzi's words were like a reassurance to Mo Qianshang, who knew that she had not misjudged him.

Seeing the woman crying uncontrollably, Mo Qianshang immediately sent someone to fetch a doctor. She then went to the woman to inquire about the situation. The woman remained rational and did not resort to violence.

"Sister, why do you say your husband was poisoned by our pastries? Do you have any evidence?" Mo Qianshang asked softly.

The man next to her couldn't hold back any longer and shouted at Mo Qianshang, "Enough nonsense! I bought some pastries today and excitedly brought them home for my brother to eat. After he ate them, my brother became like this. Isn't this what you call selling poisoned pastries?"

Madam Meng also came over. "Young man, you have to provide evidence for your words. When did you buy the pastries? Did you bring the rest with you? I've already sent someone to fetch a doctor, he'll be here soon. You can let the doctor check if they're really poisoned."

The man looked flustered. There was nothing left over. He continued, his neck stiff, "No, my brother finished eating. There was nothing left, but I didn't bring it with me."

"I brought them, just in case you won't acknowledge them!" The woman took out pastries from her sleeve.

Judging from the packaging, these are indeed pastries sold by Mengji.

At this moment, the doctor arrived, and Mo Qianshang immediately instructed the doctor to examine the man.

The doctor took the man's pulse and examined his eyes. "This man is definitely poisoned."

Those around sighed in dismay; it really was poisoning, and they wouldn't dare eat Mengji's pastries anymore.

"Doctor, please take another look. Is this pastry poisonous?" Mo Qianshang asked the doctor to go and test it for poison.

The doctor tested it with a silver needle, and everyone watched with wide eyes. There was no reaction when the silver needle was poked inside, but the outside of the needle turned black.

"See? It really is poisonous!" The big man was secretly pleased. Luckily, he had also spat some of the poison onto the pastry when he added it.

The surrounding crowd gasped in shock at the sight of the blackened silver needles. Good heavens, Mengji really did sell poisonous pastries.

Mo Qianshang asked the big man calmly when he bought the pastries and whether he gave them to the man to eat immediately after buying them.

The man said impatiently, "I bought the pastries this morning and gave them to my brother as soon as I got home. He'd been craving them for so long, but who would have thought he'd end up like this after eating them? My poor brother."

The man suddenly burst into tears as he spoke. He glared at Mo Qianshang, and secretly chuckled twice as he wiped his tears with his sleeve.

Who would have thought that he was the one who poisoned himself? The person who contacted him said that as long as he insisted that he was poisoned by eating pastries sold by Meng Ji, he would receive ten taels of silver after the deed was done. Ten taels of silver would be enough for him to live on for a long time.

The man has even started fantasizing about his wonderful future life, maybe even marrying a beautiful wife, which would be great.

"Doctor, what kind of poison has my husband been poisoned with? Can this poison be cured?" The woman felt as if she had found her pillar of support. If she hadn't been short of money, she would have hired a doctor to treat her husband long ago. She wouldn't have needed to bring her husband here to cause trouble.

"This... your husband was poisoned by paraquat, and there's nothing that can be done. Please accept my condolences." The doctor shook his head.
