How could Lord Ma not hear the sourness in his words? He was clearly talking to him, but his eyes were staring at his wife.

But today was a happy day, so she didn't bother with him. She immediately said with a hearty smile, "The prince has good conditions, but my daughter is not bad either. Thank you, Lord Hong, for your kindness. Lord Hong, please come in, Madam Hong."

Seeing her husband staring at another family's wife, Lu was filled with hatred. Moreover, she knew that her husband also liked Madam Ma back then.

He and Lord Ma were classmates, and they pursued Mrs. Ma together. Even now, some people still make fun of this matter.

But Mrs. Lu is not a rude and unreasonable person. Besides, Mrs. Ma doesn't even glance at her husband, but her husband treats others like a treasure.

The corner of Lu's mouth twitched, and she forced out a smile, and handed the gift to Liang: "Madam Ma, this is a little gift from us. We wish your daughter a happy marriage and a long life together."

Liang smiled politely, took the gift, and made a gesture of invitation: "Then I would like to thank Madam Hong. Mr. Hong, Madam Hong, please come in."

Liang Jing smiled politely, knowing that Hong Chang was staring at her, but she did not look away and only looked at Lu.

"Jing'er, long time no see. You haven't changed much from before." Lord Hong couldn't help but speak. When he was young, he called Liang Jing like this, and now he doesn't think it's inappropriate at all.

"Lord Hong is joking." Madam Ma responded politely with an unnatural look on her face.

Hearing the groom coming, Lu quickly pulled her husband and said, "Sir, let's go inside quickly. Don't delay. Master Ma and Madam Ma will greet the guests."

After saying this, she dragged her husband inside, regardless of whether he was happy or not.

When everyone heard that the groom had arrived, they all looked towards the door. They saw the groom wearing a bright red wedding gown and standing tall.

Just looking at the groom's face which looked somewhat solemn, with the general following beside him and dozens of guards behind him, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"What's going on? It looks like the groom was forced to do this."

As soon as these words came out, someone immediately looked nervous: "Shh~ Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble by saying this?"

The former quickly shut his mouth upon hearing this and dared not talk nonsense anymore.

The matchmaker welcomed the groom in and asked everyone to drink tea. As the time was coming, the matchmaker urged her to bring out the bride.

Of course, the matchmaker knew that this matter could not be delayed, so she immediately returned to her room. A moment later, she heard a terrified cry from the inner room: "Ah~, someone come quickly, the bride is missing~"

The matchmaker ran out with a horrified look on her face, shouting loudly: "Madam, the bride is missing~"

The guests looked at each other in bewilderment; they had never tried anything like this before, and the place suddenly became a commotion.

"On this happy day, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lord Ma frowned and stopped the matchmaker, fearing that she would say something else.

The matchmaker looked at Mr. Ma's dark face and immediately stopped talking.

Seeing that the matchmaker stopped talking nonsense, Lord Ma walked quickly into the room.

There was a commotion at the scene and many people wanted to go in to watch the fun, but were blocked one by one by General Feng.

Madam Ma also stumbled into the room and saw Xia Cao, the maid who served her daughter, lying on the ground. Next to her was a girl in a wedding dress. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was the maid Dong Chong. Her daughter was nowhere to be seen.

When General Dingyuan Feng Shuo heard that the bride was missing, he was also shocked. He wanted to go in to check, but he remembered that outsiders were not allowed to walk into the bride's boudoir at will, let alone men.

When General Feng was hesitating, Madam Ma came out and invited General Feng in. General Feng told the other guards to guard the door and walked in without thinking.

He Li had been like a walking corpse, but when he heard that the bride was missing, he inexplicably felt relieved. Then he thought about seeing Shen Ping just now, and an ominous premonition flashed through his mind.

"Could it be~Could it be that mother kidnapped Miss Ma?"

Thinking of this, He Li was also shocked. If this was true, this matter would become a big deal.

This marriage was arranged by the Emperor. My mother kidnapped the bride, which was clearly against the Emperor. Thinking of this, He Li broke out in a cold sweat.

It's not that he was afraid of causing trouble, but he thought that if the Zhang family was implicated and Erya was implicated because of him, he would be committing a serious sin.

Thinking of this, He Li also followed him in.

General Feng looked at the two people lying on the ground and hurried forward to check. After checking, he found that the two were just knocked unconscious and were not seriously injured.

Dong Chong and Xia Cao sat up in a daze. Seeing that everyone was staring at them, they were immediately confused.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly, where is the young lady? Where did the young lady go?" Mrs. Ma shook Dong Chong anxiously.

Only then did the two realize that the young lady was missing, especially Dong Chong, who was suddenly horrified when he saw himself wearing a bright red wedding dress.

She fell to her knees, kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Madam, I don't know anything." She woke up like this

Dong Chong and Xia Cao did not lie, they had no idea what was going on. The matchmaker finished helping the young lady with her makeup and went out, and the two of them were talking to the young lady.

Suddenly, they saw the young lady pointing behind them with a look of horror on her face. Before they could turn around, they felt a pain in their necks and both fainted.

Now knowing that the young lady was missing, the two were terrified, afraid that the adults would vent their anger on them, so they stood aside with their heads lowered.

"Master Ma, think about it, do you have any enemies? Who on earth would play such a prank on such a happy day?" General Feng looked straight at Master Ma.

Madam Ma shook her head: "General Feng, our master is an honest official, how could he offend anyone?"

Lord Ma was walking around anxiously, and when he heard General Feng asking this question, he stopped immediately: "I am not a flatterer by nature, so it would not be surprising if I offended a few villains because I didn't flatter them.

But this marriage was granted by the Emperor, and I think no one would dare to go against the Emperor, right?"

General Feng said solemnly, "Master Ma, Madam Ma, I think the most urgent thing is that you still have to appease the guests and don't let this matter become public. I will report this to the Emperor first and will definitely find Miss Xia."

According to General Feng's judgment, kidnapping Miss Ma on such a happy day must be aimed at her, or in other words, at the wedding.

Tell them not to worry, Miss Ma’s life should not be in danger, and someone will definitely contact them when the time comes.

After hearing what General Feng said, Lord Ma and his wife looked better, remembering that there were guests outside.

Now that something like this has happened, it won’t take half a day for the news to spread throughout the capital.

The bride was missing, so the wedding could not be picked up. General Feng planned to go back and report to the Emperor first. As for the Tenth Prince, he would naturally go back with him.

Ma Dong had no idea what to do and could only nod. After watching General Feng and He Li walk out, the couple straightened their clothes, took a deep breath and walked out.

The guests outside stretched their necks and watched General Feng and the groom go out one after another, and then saw Lord Ma and his wife also come out.

They immediately gathered around: "Master Ma, Madam Ma, what's going on?"

Hong Chang even looked gloating: "Master Ma, is your daughter okay? Can the wedding still be held today?"

He had always felt uncomfortable seeing Lord Ma so proud, but now that this had happened, he felt very happy.
