Li Ping spoke hesitantly, but he managed to piece together the sequence of events for me.

The wedding had nothing to do with Xing Lu.

Of course, Xing Lu did indeed have a wedding today, and she was not targeted for death.

The groom at the accident wedding was from Li Ping's village, his childhood friend.

Their village was known for lively weddings. Li Ping, being mild-mannered, was often invited to be a groomsman, known as the "public groomsman," and was often teased.

This time, he finally wasn't a groomsman and wanted to seek revenge. He caused a scene at his friend's wedding.

His mischief was limited to using a water gun to spray stinky eggs and maybe pouring some soy sauce on the groom.

But some of the groom's other friends lacked such restraint.

Before the wedding, they were already drunk. After the bride got into the bridal sedan, they made lewd remarks about the bridesmaids in the car.

Some of them even got physical in the car.

So when Xue Yani got out of the car, her face looked terrible, which caused dissatisfaction among some people, including Li Ping.

He thought the bridesmaid's gloomy face ruined the festive atmosphere of the wedding, so he wanted to bring back the joy by teasing her.

His actions further incited the wild nature of those people, causing Xue Yani a lot of distress, and she burst into tears on the spot.

When she cried, those people became even angrier, saying it was inauspicious for her to cry at someone's wedding.

One burly man even publicly threatened to take her to the woods and "have his way with her"!

Li Ping thought he was just talking tough at the time, but the next day, they found the bridesmaid paralyzed by the river next to the woods.
