Chapter 1324: Chapter 1374: The Slumbering Bride

Encountering such an incident before the wedding made Xu Yingying somewhat displeased, but she quickly cheered up. Somehow, the news of Wang Shoucheng’s downfall spread out, and fireworks spontaneously erupted in the streets, continuing incessantly.

This revealed to everyone just how many evil deeds Wang Shoucheng had committed in the city, leading to his downfall being celebrated so fervently by so many people.

"Yingying, look at how many people are celebrating our wedding," Li Yifei said as he held Xu Yingying by the waist, looking out the hotel window.

Xu Yingying’s face lit up with a smile as she said, "Yes, I’m really happy right now. It feels like we’ve done something truly wonderful for the people of the entire city."

Li Yifei nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, when ordinary people do evil, their impact is limited. But when someone with power abuses it, the greater their authority, the greater the harm they can inflict. This is the root problem seen in many powerful families. This is also why the higher-ups have supported us so much. We have a heavy responsibility ahead of us."

Xu Yingying deeply agreed, nodding as she said, "I now feel that doing this truly has significant meaning. No matter how difficult it becomes, we must work hard for it. This isn’t just a matter concerning our family—it’s something we’re doing for millions of ordinary people."

"Haha... looks like we’ve both become great saints caring for the country and its people," Li Yifei said with a laugh.

Xu Yingying didn’t laugh; instead, she said with utmost sincerity, "I genuinely didn’t think much about this in the past, but now, after experiencing so much, I’ve truly developed that kind of sentiment."

"My Yingying is truly broad-minded. I’m falling more and more in love with you," Li Yifei remarked.

Xu Yingying turned to look at Li Yifei, then let out a sudden laugh and said, "No need to flatter me. Do you think I can’t detect what lies beneath your words?"

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "This isn’t flattery; it’s heartfelt gratitude. Yingying, you are my wonderful wife."

The two exchanged smiles before embracing gently. After being husband and wife for so long, they no longer needed fiery passion—these tender hugs brought a unique warmth.

Among those most shaken by the events of the day were the relatives of the women. They had witnessed firsthand just how formidable their daughters had become. At this point, they all wanted to take them back home for a thorough interrogation.

However, regarding Dual Cultivation, everyone had long agreed never to spread the word. The unified explanation was that Li Yifei had used special techniques to help them improve, though nobody could explain exactly what those techniques were.

Seeing their daughters in robust health without turning bulky or overly muscular, they were reassured and didn’t ask further.

The following day was the official day of Li Yifei and Xu Yingying’s wedding. According to local tradition, Li Yifei led a bridal procession through half the city before arriving at the hotel where Xu Yingying was located. They completed a formal greeting ceremony and brought Xu Yingying to the venue hotel. Everything proceeded normally until Li Yifei and his companions arrived at the wedding location, where they were met with a surprising sight: an immense crowd of people gathered at the hotel entrance, so large that they almost blocked the road.

As soon as Li Yifei’s procession appeared, the crowd automatically dispersed, seemingly to welcome them in. Upon stepping out of the vehicle, loud cheers greeted them from all sides. These individuals appeared to be ordinary citizens who had come to congratulate them.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Yifei was confused. He thought the event had been planned to be simple, so how could there be so many guests? Judging by the sheer scale, one hotel hall wouldn’t possibly accommodate everyone.

Looking up at the sky and seeing various colorful hot air balloons, Li Yifei quickly pieced things together. The people had spontaneously gathered after hearing about Wang Shoucheng’s arrest, which stemmed from conflicts involving Xu Zhenguo. Gratitude toward Xu Zhenguo had naturally become the focus, and coincidentally, Xu Zhenguo’s daughter was getting married today—so people had come to celebrate.

Inside the hall, Li Yifei saw Xu Zhenguo surrounded by numerous individuals, each exuding an air of importance. They treated Xu Zhenguo with utmost courtesy, and through bits of overheard conversation, Li Yifei learned these were significant leaders in the city. It seemed Xu Zhenguo was about to ascend the political ranks smoothly.

Prior to the formal wedding ceremony, Xu Yingying went to a small room next to the main hall to rest and touch up her makeup. The ceremony was going to be lengthy, requiring effort. Besides, as the bride, it wasn’t her responsibility to entertain guests at this time.

Li Yifei, conversely, had to interact with the hotel staff.

While chatting with several aunties, Su Yiyi suddenly rushed over in a panic. Li Yifei immediately stepped forward, asking, "What happened?"

Su Yiyi lowered her voice, speaking softly: "Sister Yingying suddenly fainted."

"What?" Li Yifei was startled and immediately said, "Don’t let this get out."

"I know; I came straight to find you," Su Yiyi whispered.

Li Yifei smiled at the aunties and excused himself before following Su Yiyi to the room where Xu Yingying was resting. Inside, Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang were also present. Xu Yingying leaned against Xu Shanshan, eyes closed, as though she were asleep.

"What happened?" Li Yifei asked urgently.

Su Yiyi explained, "I was with Sister Yingying the whole time. Just now, Sister Yingying suddenly said she felt sleepy, then closed her eyes and leaned against me as though falling asleep. I sensed something was off and called out to her, but she didn’t respond. Xu Shanshan and Ningxiang came in, so I rushed out to find you."

Xu Shanshan furrowed her brow and said, "I checked her, but couldn’t find any issues with her."

Jiang Ningxiang nodded and added, "Yes, we’ve already examined her True Qi—it doesn’t seem like there’s any problem."

Li Yifei grasped Xu Yingying’s hand and performed an examination of her True Qi. Her True Qi was fine, and her physical functions were normal, but she remained in a deep, unconscious state.

"Brother-in-law, could it be that my sister’s previous illness wasn’t completely cured and is now recurring?" Xu Shanshan asked worriedly.

Li Yifei frowned and said, "I can’t say for sure. This situation is really troublesome. I think we need to send Yingying to the hospital for a thorough examination."

Su Yiyi quickly interjected, "But today is the wedding! If my sister goes to the hospital, what will happen to the ceremony?"

Li Yifei sighed bitterly and said, "With things like this, how can we proceed with the wedding?"

Xu Shanshan was at a loss for words. Li Yifei immediately called Su Mengxin, asking her to hurry over. Within two minutes, Su Mengxin and He Fangqing arrived, and upon seeing Xu Yingying, Su Mengxin asked in confusion, "Why is Yingying still asleep?"

Li Yifei forced a smile and said, "No idea. She suddenly became like this; we haven’t been able to find the issue."

Su Mengxin grew anxious and said, "Could something serious be wrong?"

Li Yifei replied helplessly, "We don’t know yet. That’s why I think we should send Yingying to the hospital for a proper check-up. If there’s an issue, we can address it early."

Su Mengxin nodded and said, "That’s absolutely necessary. This concerns a person’s life."

"But what about the wedding?" Su Yiyi said, face filled with worry. "There are so many guests outside waiting. If they find out my sister has fainted, won’t it create chaos?"

Su Mengxin immediately said, "No problem, the wedding will proceed as planned."

"Proceed as planned?" Everyone looked at Su Mengxin in confusion.

Su Mengxin turned to Xu Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, you’ll take Yingying’s place and conduct the ceremony with Yifei. We’ll send people to take Yingying to the hospital for a check-up."

He Fangqing quickly agreed, saying, "Good idea. Let’s do it this way. Ningxiang, you and I will accompany Yingying to the hospital. Everyone else will stay here to avoid drawing too much attention to this issue."

Jiang Ningxiang readily agreed. Her martial prowess, second only to Li Yifei’s, ensured they’d be safe during transport.

With the plan set, the group quickly got to work. First, they removed Xu Yingying’s wedding dress and helped Xu Shanshan put it on. As Xu Shanshan dressed, she joked bitterly, "Sis, I’m not stealing your wedding! Who told you to run into trouble at this crucial moment? I can only step in for you. When my time comes, I’ll give it back to you."

Xu Shanshan’s original outfit was then put on Xu Yingying. Jiang Ningxiang carried Xu Yingying on her back, while He Fangqing stayed close. They exited down the side stairs under Su Mengxin’s cover without drawing attention.

Meanwhile, Su Mengxin began touching up Xu Shanshan’s makeup. Thankfully, given the special occasion, Xu Shanshan had already done her makeup earlier, so only minor tweaks were needed. Once dressed in the wedding gown, even Li Yifei could hardly discern between Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan.

"Honey, Shanshan, don’t sulk. I’m sure Yingying will be fine. Last time she was unconscious for so long, yet she recovered. Now, remember, you’re about to enter the sacred halls of marriage. This is a joyful occasion; you need to smile!"

Xu Shanshan sighed and said, "Mengxin, I understand what you mean, but without knowing my sister’s current condition, I can’t help but worry."

Li Yifei’s gaze fell on a bottle of water on the table. "Yiyi, is this the water Yingying drank earlier?"

Su Yiyi nodded. "Yes, this is the water Yingying drank."

"Where did this water come from?" Li Yifei asked further.

"This water... should be from us. The water in the hall is this brand," Su Yiyi replied.

Li Yifei pondered for a moment and said, "Yiyi, take this bottle and have it tested thoroughly later."

Su Mengxin raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you suspecting someone drugged Yingying?"

Li Yifei nodded solemnly. "It’s highly possible."

At that moment, Li Yifei’s phone suddenly rang. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, his instincts told him it might be related to Xu Yingying. He answered and said grimly, "Who is this?"

"Clan leader Li, my sincerest apologies for making sure your bride can’t appear on your happiest day, hahaha."

Li Yifei’s expression darkened as he asked, "What have you done to her?"

"A worm! Miao Coma Worm. Without our antidote, she’ll remain unconscious indefinitely. Haha, isn’t this great? Your wife can now accompany you in bed at all times, hahaha..." The person on the other end finished speaking and hung up immediately.
