Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 342 - 334

The result was those people finished eating and threatened, "Is this how you treat guests? Is this little food enough? Bring some more."

The waiter’s face changed suddenly, instinctively wanting to drive them away, but Ruan Mian came forward with a smile, calmly explaining in front of everyone.

"Sir, these are new dishes we’ve specially prepared to apologize to you. They’re not meant to be eaten in large quantities as they can cause discomfort. You..."

Before she could finish, the leader suddenly sneered, "Who are you trying to fool? Huh? I think you’re just being stingy and making excuses!"

"One word, will you bring more or not? If not, your restaurant’s reputation..."

"Since you want it, as the owner, we certainly won’t be stingy."

Ruan Mian signaled to the kitchen, and shortly after, the waiter brought out a few more dishes, which were quickly devoured again.

At this moment, they still seemed unsatisfied, banging the table and demanding more.

Shaoxi caught Ruan Mian’s subtle signal and immediately stepped forward, pretending to be weak and timid, calling out softly.

"Sir, we’re just a small business. How can we withstand such demands? We’ve already given you so much free food, isn’t that enough, sir?"

"What exactly does the gentleman intend?"

"You..." The leader of the vagrants grabbed her collar, which made the nearby guests unable to bear it any longer, and they all stood up!

"You’re too much!!"

"Can’t you settle down? Is this a place for you to cause trouble? You came for a free meal, yet you disturb others. What’s your reasoning? The owner already gave you so much, and you still want more?"

"Who are you to dictate this round? We..."

Before the vagrant could finish his sentence, his face suddenly changed, and he clutched his stomach. The others followed suit, bending over in extreme pain.

"Ah... Did you... did you poison the food?!"

The vagrant pointed at Ruan Mian, shouting in agony as if knives were being twisted in him, veins bulging, in immense pain.

The bystanders were startled, but Ruan Mian only frowned slightly, calmly saying.

"It must be because your stomach is unwell, nothing serious. As restaurant owners, how would we dare to poison you? Especially with so many eyes watching, we wouldn’t ruin our own reputation!"

"Bear with it, sir, you’ll be fine."

The vagrants were in such pain they couldn’t even speak, feeling as if their stomachs were burning, like flames constantly searing their intestines, unbearably painful.

Then, one of the waiters stepped forward, speaking loudly, "Our owner already told you that you’d eaten enough of the new dishes. Greed knows no bounds. As the saying goes, enjoy in moderation. Eating too much of those mushrooms can upset your stomach, but it’s just a minor issue."

"See how many people are here, and only you feel unwell. As long as you don’t overeat, there should be no problem. Besides, whether your pain is real or not, who can say?" With this, the bystanders felt it made perfect sense.

"That’s right, I distinctly heard the owner advising them not to overindulge, and they insulted the owner for not wanting to offer more. That’s why they’re like this; it’s their own doing."

"Indeed, none of us feel unwell. I think they’re here to stir up trouble and cause a scene! Isn’t that right, folks?!"

These words infuriated the vagrants to the point of almost coughing blood, shouting despite the pain.

"Are you all blind!!! How can my condition be fake? She poisoned us, her food is problematic!"

Ruan Mian had Shaoxi fetch the silver needles and tested the dishes for poison in front of everyone. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After confirming safety, she then had the waiter invite three doctors from within the city to check their pulses one by one.

The results showed normal pulses, no signs of poisoning. They all merely said it was likely due to overeating causing stomach discomfort, but nothing severe.

The bystanders sneered, "The doctors say you’re not poisoned, your pain must be feigned! How outrageous!"

"Miss Ruan has helped many in Wuheng City, and you dare to ruin her business and reputation?"

Amidst the accusations, a waiter called out loudly from upstairs, "I’ve never seen these people in town before, they must be those vagrants from outside the city!"

"With the market open today, how dare vagrants disrupt order by entering the city? I will report to the Lord for justice!! Our well-standing restaurant’s reputation was ruined by you, with false accusations against our owner!"

The waiter swiftly ran out the door, and those vagrants, seeing this, were so frightened they stopped negotiating, trying to leave in embarrassment.

But Ruan Mian calmly signaled to Yun Xiu in the kitchen, and when those people scurried like rats through the streets, they were all captured and tied back in the restaurant’s woodshed by Yun Xiu at an alley corner.

At this moment, they were still tormented by the pain, with no strength to resist, faces pale as they desperately begged for mercy.

Ruan Mian leisurely entered the room, looking down on this group, holding a pouch of water.

"Speak, who sent you to cause trouble here? Confess clearly, and this potion will ease your pain. Otherwise, you’ll be taken by the Lord to the county government for a thorough interrogation."

The man panted heavily, glaring at Ruan Mian with wide eyes.

Yet, despite this, he had no way to deal with Ruan Mian.

Seeing that the stomach pain didn’t subside, as if their insides were being twisted, with both sides at an impasse, one of them could no longer endure and confessed.

"Ma’am... it was an outsider with a bamboo hat who gave us a lot of silver coins, asking us to make trouble at your place, saying the bigger the better, and ruining your store’s reputation was ideal!"

"But we don’t even know who that person was. Perhaps it’s an enemy of the owner’s. We... we were blinded by silver coins, just wanting to survive."

"Survive?"

Ruan Mian laughed coldly, "Who doesn’t want to survive in this world? If everyone was as selfish as you, disregarding others, what kind of chaos would this world be in?"

"Born as humans, with not even the basic morals, since you’re so unruly, I’ll teach you about worldly rules and karma."

Saying that, she threw the water pouch away, and they watched as the potion spread across the ground.

Driven by pain, they didn’t even bother saving face, scrambling to the ground, trying to lap up the supposed potion with their tongues in fear.

These potions were nothing more than ordinary well water.

They reacted this way because those chili peppers were specially cultivated industrial chili varieties from Ruan Mian’s space.
