1209: Chapter 1209: All Entrusted to You 1209: Chapter 1209: All Entrusted to You âWhether in haste or not, arenât we just living life?â Yang Ruxinâs mood was extremely good, and from now on, her dear sister was also someone with a family, âMoreover, we might need to go out for a while.
With a marriage certificate, we are legally wed and can even share a room at the inn, which saves money, right?â
Everyone was instantly speechless.
Yu Qingge was even more admiring as she gave a thumbs up to her; Sister such a cool person, she simply couldnât copy her.
Well, might as well just admire her.
âMother, godfather, godmother, rest assured, Xinxin trusts me so much, I will not let her down.â Gu Qingheng quickly expressed his stance, âNor will I allow her to be wrongedâŠâ
âI believe you,â Dong Wenxiu nodded.
Itâs not like she had a choice, she couldnât appear unwilling, could she?
That would offend her son-in-law, wouldnât it?
Things had changed; Dong Wenxiu was no longer the old Xun Hui, her mind had become more flexible.
However, Gu Qingheng then folded his copy of the marriage certificate several times before handing it over to Yang Ruxin: âKeep this safe for me.â
Everyone once again showed surprised expressions.
Actually, marriage certificates had been popular since the Tang Dynasty.
By the time of the Great Xuan Dynasty, though, they had been simplified a lot.
In wealthy families, marriage certificates were very elaborate, not only containing the names and birth details of the couple but also recording the six traditional wedding rites, followed by lists of the engagement gifts and dowries.
However, in rural areas, it was much simpler, often just involving a few pieces of silver, really not worth the paperwork.
However, marriage certificates still had to be registered with the Governorâs Office, usually managed by the village head or the Lizheng.
The marriage certificate was a constraint on both parties.
But now, Gu Qingheng had handed over the marriage certificate to Yang Ruxin.
Thus, if Yang Ruxin wanted to go back on her word, Gu Qingheng would have no way to do anything about it; he wouldnât even have the marriage certificate to restrict her actions.
To put it bluntly, if Yang Ruxin wanted to cheat, Gu Qingheng would have no grounds to blame her.
On the other hand, Yang Ruxin could tightly control the other party using the marriage certificate.
âSure?â Yang Ruxin slightly raised her eyebrows.
âIâve said that I will always trust and love you,â Gu Qingheng said with determination in his eyes, âso, I give you all the power to decide.â
âFine.â Yang Ruxin unapologetically took the marriage certificate, then stuffed it into her backpack.
In her view, as long as two people truly loved each other and wanted to live together, this item was just a decoration.
Those who wanted to go back on their word or misbehaveâten marriage certificates wouldnât help.
Everyone seemed to realize that these two were not the type to play by the rules.
âHow about getting Xuexue and myself a marriage certificate tooâŠâ At that moment, Gu Yao stepped forward, his face flushed, but his tone was firm, âAfter all⊠weâre going to get engaged next monthâŠâ
Erniâs face turned bright red.
âI think itâs a good ideaâŠâ Yang Ruxin was the first to nod, âAlthough Xuexue is still young, as long as they donât consummate the marriage⊠Having a marriage certificate makes it even more foolproof, and it keeps any trouble at bay, doesnât it?â she added, winking at Erni.
Erniâs face turned even redder.
âThisâŠâ The most flustered one had to be Dong Wenxiu; why were her daughters in such a rush?
The others, however, were calm.
Eventually, Dong Wenxiu didnât refuse.
She couldnât afford to offend her eldest son-in-law, and likewise, she couldnât afford to offend the second son-in-law either.
