Chapter 267 Toast
With Ji Wanyi taking the initiative first, Mrs. Xu, the future mother-in-law, also had to look like she raised her glass.

Mengshi immediately followed suit.

For a moment, the three of them appeared to be in harmony and had a very good relationship.

This made those who had been waiting to see the excitement dumbfounded.

"This is not quite the same as the rumors!" The wife of a certain official sitting below whispered at her best friend. "Didn't it mean that the two families got into trouble because of their marriage? I can see that they have a very good relationship!"

The best friend of the little official's wife said: "I was also wondering, I heard people say that both of these two families almost didn't go to the palace to cancel their marriage, why suddenly..."

The little official's wife said: "Shh, keep your voice down, maybe it's just a show, these upper-level officials and wives just like to play some tricks on face."

The girlfriend said: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao's family is also at odds with the Ji's family. You said that both of their families are here today, will there be a quarrel?"

The little official's wife smiled wickedly: "Then who knows? Let's just wait and see."

The two of you looked at me and I looked at me, both of them obviously wanted to watch the excitement.

Zhao Zhen'er also lived up to what the two of them thought, sitting there watching Ji Wanyi talking and laughing with Ji's mother from time to time, feeling more and more unhappy.

One couldn't hold back, and she opened her mouth: "Hey, Wanyi, your wedding day is coming soon, right? Why don't you stay at home and wait for marriage?"

The friendship between the two has long since disappeared, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to call each other by their names intimately. Zhao Zhener's word "Wanyi" is obviously provoking trouble.

Ji Wanyi has a very thorough understanding of Zhao Zhener's temper, if Zhao Zhener can really hold back and do nothing today, then Ji Wanyi will feel that something is wrong.

Ji Wanyi smiled and said: "The matter of the wedding is naturally taken care of by the servants of the family. Even if I stay at home, it's just to pass the time. Why don't I come out and get together with everyone, it can be more lively .”

Ji Wanyi spoke very naturally, as if she really didn't feel Zhao Zhener's bad intentions, she was calm and generous, which made Xu Shi who was watching from the side quite satisfied.

"I heard that your fiancé-in-law, Young Master Xie, has not come back yet. The wedding of the two of you is getting closer and closer. It's a long way away. I don't know if Young Master Xie can come back in time?" Zhao Zhen'er Said seemingly innocently.

Ji Mu, Meng's, and Xu's eyes turned cold at the same time.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu somewhat understood why the Ji family was dissatisfied with this marriage.Ask yourself, if she has a precious daughter, but is so humiliated by the man in the marriage, she is afraid that she will go too far than what the Ji family did!
Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Ji Wanyi spoke first.

"Xie Xiaohou is at the border and shoulders the heavy responsibility of protecting his family and the country. This is what he should do as a citizen of Yongsheng and as a Marquis. Only in this way can he be worthy of the emperor's trust in him."

"Nowadays, the people in the frontier are still living in poverty, and they will be invaded by the Huns from time to time. As a general, he should be the first to charge, first to have the country and then to have a family, how can he disregard the safety of the country and the people because of his children's personal relationship? If he came back alone just because he was going to get married, I, Ji Wanyi, would also look down on him! But now—”

Ji Wanyi's tone was firm, her eyes were burning, and she calmly and confidently swept towards everyone present one by one:

"He is a hero. I am very proud to be able to marry such a person! This is a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and the emperor's grace is mighty. Even if he can't come back in time, so what? He is defending the people of Yongsheng, and I, and everyone here You are all Yongsheng's people, to me, he is the same no matter whether he is in the border or in the capital!"

Ji Mu and Meng Shi had to pretend to be very proud of Ji Wanyi's words, but in their hearts, their hearts felt as if they had been severely scratched with a knife a few times, and the blood was dripping with pain !

Especially Meng Shi, this is her daughter who was raised with so much love, how has she ever been wronged like this?

If it weren't for the fact that there are a lot of outsiders waiting to watch the excitement, she can't wait to have a big fight with Xu and Zhao's mother and daughter!
As for Xu, she was deeply shocked by Ji Wanyi's words.

Regardless of whether Ji Wanyi said this out of sincerity or to calm down the scene, she had to admit that these words saved the face of Xie's family, Ji's family and the emperor!

Mrs. Xu is really scared at this moment, she can't imagine, if the matter of the two children's marriage at the banquet today is changed again because of Zhao's daughter's light words, what kind of thunder will the emperor use? Treat the Xie family angrily!
Xu sneered and looked at the Zhao family's mother and daughter. At the same time, she stretched out her hand and applauded Ji Wanyi gently and rhythmically:
"It's good to have a country first and then a family. Wanyi is worthy of being the daughter of General Ji. She really has the style of being a father! My Xie family is really lucky to be able to marry such a daughter-in-law!"

Today is Ji's mother holding a banquet, and Zhao Zhen'er's obviously provocative words did not take Ji's mother and Ji's family seriously.Ji's mother's impression of Zhao Zhen'er has changed a lot.At the same time, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, his son did not fall in love with such a girl!
Mother Ji picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for defending the family and the country. Miss Ji is young and caring about the common people. She is also a role model for women of my generation. Let's drink to these two young men!"

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses, except the mother and daughter of the Zhao family.

Zhao Zhen'er still didn't realize what he did wrong again.

She was just angry, so why did Ji Wanyi take all the benefits in the end no matter what?

Obviously Ji Wanyi should be the one who deserves to be ridiculed the most, and obviously Ji Wanyi just said a few high-sounding flattery words!

Why did everyone suddenly start toasting her?

This is not fair!

Zhao Zhen'er gritted her teeth, and stared at Ji Wanyi with resentment.

"Why don't you raise your glass quickly, what are you doing there?" Mrs. Zhao urged in a low voice angrily.

"Mother, why don't you..." Zhao Zhen'er's attention was always on Ji Wanyi's mother and daughter, and she didn't notice her mother's actions for a while.

She was stunned to hear her mother urging herself so suddenly.

"Shut up! Hurry up and do what I say!" Mrs. Zhao yelled in a low voice while looking at the people around her.She didn't want anyone around to notice the small movements of their mother and daughter.

"If you don't want to cause trouble, give me a quick toast!" Mrs. Zhao urged again.
