Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

It's Chu's mother's business if she's unhappy; what does it have to do with these onlookers?

They didn't have any deep-seated hatred for the groom.

It's all about having fun and maybe getting some freebies along the way!

"Come on, come on, let's give out red envelopes! Everyone come and share in the good fortune!" Xiaoming took the bag and started scattering red envelopes.

Sure enough, when the red envelope rain started, all the criticisms disappeared.

Everyone selectively forgot about the drinking cheating incident.

And so, the group followed Xiaoming through the door!

Like a god of wealth, Xiao Ming used red envelopes to pave his way up to the second floor and arrived at the bride's room!

However, the bride's room was locked tight, so it wasn't so easy to get in!

Xiaoming stuffed a whole stack of red envelopes into the door, but they still won't open it!

In the end, Chu Shirou ran over to open the door, which almost sent her mother away on the spot!

Anyway, Chu's mother was so angry that her lips were trembling!

"It's not time to leave yet, what's the rush?" Chu's mother said coldly.

"Mom, I consulted a fortune teller, and nine to ten in the morning is also an auspicious time. There's no need to wait until 10:30!" Xiaoming said with a fawning smile.

"Hmph, what's set in stone can't be changed so easily. And don't call me 'Mom,' I haven't even acknowledged you as my son-in-law yet!" Mother Chu turned her face away.

Xiao Ming smiled awkwardly. Well, his mother-in-law was still so hard to deal with.

"Let's go have some tea first, it's all ready!" Mother Chu said calmly without turning her head.

The group exchanged glances and decided to go and rest for a while.

Halfway through their tea, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, some people began to lean back on the sofa with their eyes half-closed.

Ye Chen remained fully conscious throughout, observing everyone's reactions.

Even Xiaoming seemed a little confused; this shouldn't be happening.

He knew Xiaoming's alcohol tolerance; he could easily drink a pound and a half of baijiu (Chinese liquor). How could he pass out after only two cups?

Ye Chen looked at Dongzi, who usually had a good alcohol tolerance, but he was also a little dizzy at this moment!

Huh? How much did you drink?

Why are they all like this?!

Did you get drunk because you didn't eat any food?

Ye Chen sensed something was wrong.

Just then, he heard two men whispering, "What's the situation inside?"

"Don't worry, this dosage is definitely enough to keep them asleep for three or four hours. By the time they wake up, it'll be all over!"

"Okay, just don't let this get out of the way, or you know the consequences!"

"Yeah, I understand. My mouth is definitely tighter than my crotch. What business is it of anyone else if they drank too much? They can't drink but they still pretend to be strong. There's nothing we can do about it, right? Hehe!"

"Go collect that fat man's fingerprints later, and while you're at it, head over to the Civil Affairs Bureau!"

"Alright, I'll definitely make it look beautiful!"

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep an eye on things here and report back immediately if anything happens!"

"Okay!"

......

Ye Chen was startled. Was there something wrong with the wine?

Or is there something wrong with the tea?

These people have clearly been drugged.

Holy crap, this is their Chu family's place! Have they gone mad? How will they clean up this mess if they dare to play like this?

It wasn't that Ye Chen was too naive; it was just that he had only ever seen this kind of thing on TV!

Who could have imagined that such a thing would happen in broad daylight?

If he hadn't taken the antidote pill, he might have been infected this time too!

Ye Chen held a few disposable silver needles in his hand, then pretended to be drowsy and leaned back on the sofa!

Time passed by, and the room fell silent, accompanied by the sound of snoring!

About ten minutes later, a bald man wearing a mask quietly walked in.

"Would you like me to boil some water for you, guests?"

"Hey, feed—"

The bald man called out softly, and only when no one responded did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, go to sleep, go to sleep, when you wake up your wife will belong to someone else!"

The bald man took out inkpad and a few pieces of paper and walked towards Xiaoming.

Just as he bent down to collect fingerprints, his vision went black and he fainted!

Ye Chen stood quietly behind him, picked up the papers and looked at them; they were various agreements.

Ye Chen sneered and put the things away. As for the bald man, Ye Chen simply dragged him behind the curtains and hid him.

If they want to sleep for three or four hours, then let him experience what it's like to sleep for three or four hours.

This takes three or four hours of pure manual technique!

Ye Chen administered a few needles to Xiao Ming, who slowly awoke with a bewildered look: "Hmm? Come, come, have some tea!"

Ye Chen ignored him and began administering acupuncture to everyone in the room one by one.

After a moment, Xiao Ming seemed to regain some of his senses. He murmured, "Xiao Chen, what are you doing?"

After administering the last injection, Ye Chen explained the general situation.

Xiao Ming almost went berserk on the spot when he heard this, but Ye Chen held him down.

"Calm down, observe the situation, and see what tricks they're trying to pull."

It was almost 10:30 when Ye Chen heard Chu's mother's voice: "Xiao Fei, carry your sister to the car!"

"Okay, Mom!" Chu Xiaofei replied.

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Chen immediately recognized it; it really was the person he had saved back then.

"Are your drivers reliable?" Ye Chen asked Xiao Ming.

"It seems reliable, it's a legitimate company!" Xiaoming frowned.

Why does he feel like something bad is about to happen as soon as he hears "legitimate"?

"There are no other convoys here, and they drugged us. Do you think they're going to drive themselves to the venue?" Ye Chen asked slowly.

"Holy crap, could these drivers have been bribed too?" Ye Chen's eyes widened in disbelief.

Normally, a relative or friend could be the driver, but a big truck is not something an ordinary person can handle, so Xiaoming hired a professional driver team.

Based on the previous situation, if the driver was bribed, wouldn't Yang Sheng be able to save on having a ready-made wedding car?

Holy crap, I've come up with a new way to save money!

"Come on, I need to get out of here! Damn it, if this keeps up, my wife will be taken away by someone else!" Xiao Ming couldn't sit still any longer and walked straight out!

Chu Xiaofei had already carried his bride out the door and was heading towards the first wedding car!

Xiao Ming and the others rushed up from behind, shouting, "Sigh, drinking leads to trouble! Come on, let me open the car door!"

Xiao Ming quickly stepped forward and opened the car door.

When Chu's mother saw Xiaoming and the others come out, she was a little surprised. No, no, what's going on?

"Mother-in-law, thank you for your hard work. I will treat Rou Rou well!" Xiao Ming said in a cheeky tone.

Ye Chen and the others then invited the bridesmaids and the bride's relatives to get into the car!

Chu's mother was even more astonished and at a loss. She froze on the spot for a moment, and felt dizzy as she watched the people getting on the car one after another.

"What...what's wrong with you all?" Chu's mother stammered incoherently.

Ye Chen observed quietly from the side and noticed that a few people in the crowd looked surprised. He secretly memorized their faces.

"I had drunk too much, but the tea has refreshed me quite a bit. Thank you for your hospitality, Mother-in-law. I'll head to the venue now!" Xiao Ming smiled slightly and took Chu Shirou from Chu Xiaofei's back.

Chu Xiaofei was also a bit confused: "Wait, wait, who are you? Isn't the groom Brother Sheng? How dare you do this?"

When Xiaoming picked up Chu Shirou, he found that she was limp all over. Had she fainted?
