Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

After successfully completing his mission, the person who administered the drug gave his companion an OK sign.

Afterwards, everyone settled down and found a seat, quietly waiting for the meal to begin.

As the guests gradually arrived, the wedding emcee Xu Qing had invited also took his place, standing in the center of the stage.

A group of musicians sat behind the stage, playing and singing a cheerful tune.

This was also arranged by Xu Qing. Originally, he wanted to give his elder brother and Hui Niang an unforgettable modern wedding. Thinking about what was about to happen today, it was indeed a bit unforgettable.

The host cleared his throat, and his cheerful voice rang out:

"Distinguished guests, dear fellow villagers and friends... Thank you all for traveling from afar to attend our wedding... Now, let us welcome the newlyweds into the wedding hall with warm applause!"

The opening remarks were also written by Xu Qing; originally, they were written as "Dear friends."

But the emcee had never hosted a wedding like this before, let alone read such embarrassing lines in public.

Taking into account the feelings of people from ancient times, Xu Qing made a slight modification to the lines.

As the host finished his opening remarks, the music and ceremonial music suddenly changed from sentimental and melodious to uplifting and inspiring.

The guests in the audience were also seeing this new style of wedding for the first time. The emcee's delivery of lines was excellent, and the music and ceremonies added to the experience.

The guests responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Hui Niang, covered with a bright red veil, entered the venue with the help of Madam Sun.

Sun carefully placed Hui Niang's hand into Xu Jian's hand.

Xu Jian had finally waited for this day. The woman he had been longing for was about to become his wife. His face softened, and a gentle, silly smile appeared on his lips.

Daya, sitting in her seat below the stage, looked at the newcomers with a sense of relief.

She thought to herself: Xu Qing is right. If she were the bride on the stage today, Xu Jian would definitely not have shown such an expression.

This is good now. After today, Xu Qing promised to give her 50 taels of silver, and she can continue working in the workshop.

With this money, her mother would definitely agree to let her marry that poor boy her mother looked down on.

"The ceremony is complete—they are escorted to the bridal chamber."

As the host finished speaking, Ms. Sun led the employees of the milk tea workshop to serve the dishes.

The bandit's family members were so excited they wanted to stand up; they had finally waited for this moment.

His mouth was practically stretched from ear to ear.

"Hey sis, what's making you so happy? It's not like it's your daughter getting married. But you look a bit unfamiliar, who are you from?"

While the villagers from Xujia Village at the same table kept stuffing food into their mouths, they chatted with the bandit's family.

When the bandit's family member realized that he had been noticed, he understood that he had been somewhat out of line, so he shifted his position and sat back down on the stool.

"I just couldn't control myself when I saw so much delicious food. I hope you'll forgive me. Hehehe..."

A villager from Xujia Village made a "whoosh" sound, stuffed a large pork knuckle into his mouth, and mumbled something indistinctly:

"Now I understand. We don't even get to eat these kinds of dishes during the New Year. Let's eat quickly, it's a loss if we miss a single bite!"

"But you still haven't answered me, which family are you from? You look unfamiliar. You're not from our Xu Family Village, are you?"

The bandit's family didn't expect this person to keep pressing this issue; now is not the time to expose them.

Just as the bandit's family was frantically trying to figure out how to reveal their identities, the villager from Xujia Village lowered his voice and said:

"I know, you must be someone's relative from our village, right?"

"Oh dear. I should have invited my sister from my family to come and eat with me. What a waste..."

The bandit's family members breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat, but they all knew that there was medicine in the chicken soup and deliberately avoided it.

Just as everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, waiting for the people in the courtyard to fall so they could immediately avenge their families.

Qiuqiu, the maidservant of the county magistrate's wife, ran out in a panic, shouting in alarm:

"Help! There's a thief! Madam has been attacked! Madam Xu, quickly fetch a doctor!"

The guests, their bellies bulging from eating, slumped in their chairs, were still trying to process what the maid had said.

After all, people's reactions slow down after eating, their heads feel dizzy, and they just want to sleep when they're in the sun.

Xu Qing indeed made a decisive statement:

"Second brother, close the gate. The thief might be mixed in with us. Doctor Qian, come with me to see the magistrate's wife."

"Zhao Dazhi, you and your construction team maintain order here. If anyone causes trouble, tie them up first."

As the door slammed shut, everyone finally realized what had happened.

"What? Where did this thief come from?"

"Whose mistress is injured? That maid was dressed so well, her mistress must be of a very high status."

“I just saw Xu Qing talking to her at the gate. She seems to be the magistrate’s wife’s maid.”

"The magistrate's wife has been assassinated! This is terrible..."

Daya quietly hid in a more secluded corner, far away from the bandits' families.

The bandits' families were also completely baffled. Who had gone to assassinate the magistrate's wife?

They exchanged subtle glances, scanning the entire area, and found that everyone was still in the courtyard.

So who exactly went to assassinate the magistrate's wife?

And this chicken soup—they watched these people drink it, licking the bowls clean.

Why is there still no response after waiting for so long?

The medicine has expired?

Or did the person sent fail to administer the drug?

Sensing the suspicious looks of his companions, the person who administered the drug felt as if he wanted to swear an oath to the heavens.

She really did drug him!

Xu Qing and Xu Gong followed Qiu Qiu and ran quickly to the magistrate's wife's room.

The magistrate's wife lay peacefully on the bed, her hands crossed over her chest, motionless.

Qiuqiu said, sobbing, "The madam and young master were talking inside, and I was guarding outside."

Suddenly a woman appeared and said she was lost, so I kindly gave her directions.

But she walked around in circles and still couldn't get out, so I took her out.

When I got back, I saw that the door was closed properly, so I assumed that the madam and young master were still talking inside.

I stood guard outside, but it was too quiet inside. I tried calling out "Madam" twice, but no one answered.

When I came in, I saw the lady like this; I couldn't wake her no matter how I called her.

Doctor Qian said "Excuse me" and pretended to take the pulse of the county magistrate's wife.

Qiuqiu quickly removed the magistrate's wife's hand from her chest, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and placed it on her wrist.

Doctor Qian then began to take her pulse. He held his breath and carefully examined the magistrate's wife's pulse before letting out a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing, she was drugged. She'll be fine when she wakes up."

Upon hearing this, Qiuqiu collapsed to the bedside, crying even more bitterly.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't left Madam, none of this would have happened."

How am I going to explain this to the master? When the madam wakes up, she'll definitely not forgive me... Waaah!

Xu Qing: "Do you remember what the person who asked you for directions looked like? If you can find the person who drugged you, you should be able to atone for your sins."
