The two orcs looked a little guilty. "You, how can you prove it?"

Shen Miao didn't say anything, but reached out and took a piece of blood tofu, and slowly ate it in front of everyone.

"Look, I eat my own blood tofu, and no one else who has bought it from me has had any problems." Shen Miao's tone suddenly changed, and she said coldly, "Tell me, are you deliberately here to cause trouble?"

Caught off guard, the two orcs quickly retorted, "Nonsense! Your blood tofu was problematic to begin with. Don't try to shift the blame."

They were probably doing this for the first time; their eyes kept darting around, and they looked flustered.

Shen Miao pressed on: "Really? Then tell me, when did you come to buy the blood tofu, how many pieces did you buy, and how did you make it?"

"I bought it yesterday. I bought two pieces, they're boiled."

Shen Miaohe sneered, "Liar! Neither of you were among the people who bought blood tofu yesterday. Now, tell us honestly, who sent you here?"

The two orcs panicked, their eyes darting around as they tried to escape.

Shen Miao wouldn't let them escape. She reached out and grabbed them, one in each hand, pulling them over. The two orcs didn't expect her to be so strong and couldn't break free.

"You won't talk, huh? Then I'll hand you over to the clan leader and lock you up for ten days or eight months," Shen Miao threatened.

These two weren't from their tribe, so the chief they were looking for was naturally the chief of the Shenmiao tribe. Who knew how they would be punished then? Even if they suffered a loss, they wouldn't dare go back to their own tribe's chief to seek justice.

The two orcs seemed to have foreseen their tragic future, and said dejectedly, "We're telling you, don't tell the chieftain that we are orcs from the neighboring tribe, and we have no grudge against you. The reason we came to cause trouble is because Green Pearl from your tribe found us and said she wanted to teach you a lesson. Your blood tofu is fine."

Shen Miao wasn't too surprised; she wasn't at all surprised that Green Pearl had done such a thing.

It's just amazing how Green Pearl really is the female lead from the original book; she can even get people from the neighboring tribe to help her.

"Are we done talking? Can we leave now?" an orc asked timidly.

Shen Miao raised an eyebrow: "Not now. How do I know if what you're saying is true? Unless you bring Green Pearl here for a confrontation."

The two orcs immediately agreed.

"Okay, okay, I just saw her. She's setting up her stall here. We'll bring her over right away."

Green Pearl, who had been secretly observing from the back of the crowd, turned to run away when she saw that things were not going well. She was stopped by two orcs, who were very angry.

"You still want to run away? You're the one who made us do such despicable things. Now that we've been exposed, you think you can leave? No way."

"Come here quickly and tell everyone that we were misled by you and that's why we did the wrong thing. Tell us quickly."

The orcs were getting impatient; they wanted to clear their names as quickly as possible and kept pressuring Green Pearl to reveal that they had been instructed to do so.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Green Pearl completely lost face.

Her face flushed red, and she weakly protested, "That's not true, don't slander me, I don't know you at all."

The beastmen stared wide-eyed at Green Pearl, pointing at her incredulously, "You, how could you be so shameless? You were the one who found us, and you even gave each of us a beast crystal, though it wasn't of high quality. Look, the beast crystal is still here."

Green Pearl felt as if her clothes had been stripped off, her eyes reddening with shame, brimming with tears that seemed about to fall at any moment.

But no one present listened to her.

The two orcs who had been badly tricked by her just wanted to clear their names, while the onlookers thought she was heartless for coming up with such a despicable method to ruin other people's business.

Green Pearl's pitiful act couldn't be maintained any longer.

Shen Miao chuckled inwardly, but on the surface she wore a pained expression: "Green Pearl, I have never provoked you, why are you doing this to me? My business is failing, what will my bedridden beastmen and my four little ones who can barely walk eat? What good does it do you to watch them starve?"

"I know, you're jealous of me, aren't you? That's terrifying, a female beast can be so jealous."

"No, I didn't..." Green Pearl tried to explain in a panic.

But no one listened to her; everyone felt immense sympathy for Shen Miaosheng.

A female animal raising her family and cubs all by herself—how inspiring! Not only did she not help, but she also caused trouble. How utterly despicable is she?

One outspoken orc shouted, "Stop making excuses. You've already done it. You might as well sincerely apologize to them and they might forgive you."

An apology? Ask her to apologize to Shen Miao? No way! Shen Miao was a hideous female beast hated by everyone. She was so beautiful, with so many beastmen adoring her—she didn't want that…

The thought of escaping had just crossed his mind when he was dispelled by the righteous indignation on the faces of the orcs watching.

Biting her lip, Green Pearl could only lower her noble and beautiful head and apologize to Shen Miao with immense shame: "I'm sorry."

After saying that, she couldn't take it anymore, so she lowered her head, covered her face, and left.

Shen Miao's lips curled up slightly.

Green Pearl has completely lost face today; she should be able to calm down for a while.

She was in a good mood, sold the blood tofu cheaply to the person who spoke up for her, and took the rest home.

Green Pearl's outburst has definitely impacted her business. Even if she's been framed, people will still be wary, just in case she's really not clean.

Speaking up for her is one thing, but actually buying it is another.

Fortunately, Shen Miao did not rely on this for a living, otherwise Lü Zhu would have been truly wicked.

Shen Miao walked very fast, directly passing a group of figures by the roadside. When she got closer, she felt something was wrong and turned back, only to find that the person lying on the ground was an orc.

The man's hair and clothes were disheveled, like a wild man who had escaped from the forest. His clothes were stained with blood, and the injury was to his arm, not a fatal one. It was unclear why he had collapsed there.

"Hey." Shen Miao stretched out her foot and gently kicked him.

The man was disoriented and muttering something under his breath. Shen Miao bent down and listened closely, discovering that he kept saying things like "hungry, meat".

Shen Miao suddenly realized that this person had probably fainted from hunger.

She glanced at the remaining blood tofu in the bucket, and without hesitation, took out a piece and fed it to the man.

After eating a piece of blood tofu, the orc gradually regained consciousness and realized that it was the female beast in front of him who had saved him. He was extremely grateful and repeatedly thanked Chen Miao.

Seeing that he was still very weak, Shen Miao said, "No need to be so polite. I see your injuries haven't been treated yet. How about I take you to see a veterinarian?"
