Chapter 891 It’s over! The border is really over!
Everyone was confused when they didn't see General Dingyuan.
"Everyone! General Dingyuan is not feeling well, so let the bride's eldest brother take his place." As Liu said this, Wang Xiao stood next to Liu.
Everyone was surprised and wondered why they had never heard of the general's serious illness before.
"What's going on? If you weren't so sick that you couldn't get out of bed, you wouldn't miss your daughter's wedding!"
"It's hard to say! If he is seriously ill, he will definitely have to stay in bed to recuperate. But if this happens, those ambitious people at the border will be ready to act again."
Everyone was talking to each other and was very worried. General Dingyuan was the pillar of the frontier. If something went wrong with him, wouldn't it be the end?
Some people were apprehensive, but finally asked.
"Madam, what disease does the general have? I have never heard of it before!"
"Oh! It's nothing serious, just a headache, fever, and dizziness for a while. The doctor told me to stay in bed and rest. The auspicious time has come, so let's not delay the wedding, let's get started!" Mrs. Liu was afraid of saying more and making mistakes, so she changed the subject.
The crowd was still talking about it, and many people couldn't help feeling uneasy.
"It's just a headache, why would you miss the wedding? I'm afraid there's something going on!"
"Are you dissatisfied with this marriage?"
"It's possible! If she just doesn't want to, then don't agree to this marriage! After all, she is your daughter, and you can't not show up no matter how unhappy you are! Wouldn't this make it difficult for her to live in her husband's family in the future?"
"Hey~ Maybe he's really sick! Let's not spread the word!"
The people who were watching the ceremony were ready to watch the fun, but some people also became suspicious. In short, they all felt that there was something weird about today's wedding.
Here, the bride and groom were preparing to kneel down to bid farewell to their parents, but as soon as the bride knelt down, the groom stood there without moving.
"Groom, quickly kneel down with the bride to say goodbye to your mother-in-law!" The bridesmaid couldn't help but remind her.
"Mother-in-law, father-in-law, you are too disrespectful to me, your son-in-law, by doing this, aren't you?" Liu Shen suddenly said.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and the noisy voices suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Liu Shen in shock. Was he going to tear his face apart on the wedding day?
"My dear son-in-law, your father-in-law is unwell, it was not intentional. When he recovers, he will come to apologize in person."
Mrs. Liu didn't know what Jiang Youzhen and the others' purpose was. Seeing Liu Shen suddenly attack and Jiang Youzhen and the others didn't react, she had to deal with it for the time being.
"Liu Shen, my father is seriously ill. Can't I, his brother-in-law, take his place? Today is your and my sister's wedding day. Do you want to let outsiders laugh at you?" Wang Xiao quickly glanced at Jiang Youzhen and found that she had a blank expression on her face, so he could only say.
"Oh? Is he seriously ill or not at home?" Liu Shen snorted coldly.
One word caused a thousand waves! Everyone was shocked.
"What's going on? The general is not in the mansion. Where did he go?"
"I don't know! There's something strange about today's marriage. Anyway, it's not right."
"General Dingyuan is guarding Yuming Pass. Where can he go without him?"
Soldiers guarding the border cannot leave their garrison. This is a taboo in military strategy and also a law of the court. If they leave their garrison without being summoned, it is a serious crime of desertion!
"My dear son-in-law, what do you mean? My husband is not feeling well today, and I have already explained it to you. Why are you being so aggressive? Previously, your Liu family asked to marry my Wang family's daughter, and the general said it might not be appropriate. It was the Liu family who asked for marriage three times before, which moved my Wang family.
Now the bride has not even married yet, and your Liu family is so strong. If you are not satisfied with this marriage, then don't get married!"
Liu slapped the armrest of the chair, very angry.
No matter what the reason was for Liu Shen to cause a scene at the wedding, this marriage must not be completed! Even if Liu Shen was just impulsive and irritable, he was definitely not a good match for my daughter.
"That's right! My daughter from the Wang family doesn't have to marry into the Liu family! If you are not satisfied, then the marriage will be cancelled!" Wang Xiao also said with a bad look.
Liu Shen's reputation was not good to begin with, and Wang Xiao was very dissatisfied when his father agreed to it. Since Liu Shen had come forward today, he would cancel the marriage.
Even if it will affect my sister's reputation, it is better than jumping into a fire pit.
"What's going on? Why are you calling off the engagement?"
"Yes! How can you say that? How can you treat marriage as a joke? The house is full of guests, but you are talking about breaking off the engagement? This is a huge loss of face for both families!"
Everyone couldn't help but talk about it again, and everyone felt that this marriage was weird.
"Mother-in-law, uncle, I'm afraid you have been kept in the dark and fallen into someone else's trap!" Liu Shen shook his head and sighed.
Liu and Wang Xiao looked at each other, and then confusion and vigilance flashed in their eyes.
Jiang Youzhen looked at Liu Shen in front of him, but began to lower his head in deep thought, which made Prince Yuan Ming beside him a little undecided.
What was the Liu family up to? Were they trying to expose the secret of Wang Yuanlu's absence and make his disappearance public?
Jiang Youzhen, however, was secretly complaining in his heart. This Prince Yuan Ming still looked confused at the moment, but he would know how powerful he was soon!
"Liu Shen, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Liu said with forced calmness.
"Mother-in-law, please don't hide it from me. My father-in-law has been missing for many days. For the sake of stability at the border, my family has been keeping it a secret, right?" Liu Shen said solemnly.
Wang Xiao was so angry that he stepped forward and said, "Stop talking nonsense! What is your intention? If you are not satisfied with this marriage, we can just withdraw from it. Why make such a fuss?"
If people knew that his father was really missing, there would be chaos at the border. At present, the court had not sent military forces to support the border, and the whereabouts of the tiger talisman were unknown. For now, he should stabilize the situation first.
But Liu Shen was a fool and actually exposed this matter.
"Brother-in-law, are you still going to hide it from me? We are almost a family, and we must work together to overcome the difficulties. My father-in-law is missing, and I am also worried. Naturally, I want to do my part."
"Liu Shen! Does your father know that you behaved like this today?" Mrs. Liu was so angry that her chest heaved violently.
This matter is of great importance, and personal grudges should be put aside. This is related to the safety of the border. If Lord Liu had not intended to rebel, he would not have allowed Liu Shen to do what he wanted.
But I’m afraid that Liu Shen has some ulterior motives and must take the spotlight today.
"Madam General, I'm here right now! Knowing that the general is missing, how can I sit still? Naturally, I come here to discuss countermeasures!" Suddenly a deep voice sounded.
Then a large group of people came towards the hall in a mighty manner. Who else could be leading the group but Liu Muyun?
"Lord Liu, what do you mean by this? Are you going to abandon the people at the border? You are an official appointed by the court, do you know what your actions today mean?"
Mrs. Liu was furious. The Wang family had gone through so much trouble to keep the matter secret for so long. Although she was worried about the general's safety, she did not dare to ask outsiders for help.
I didn’t expect that Liu Muyun would actually tell the world about this!
It’s over! The border is really over!
