Chapter 1692: Chapter 1694: Don’t Go and Register the Marriage Contract Again
This person looks like he’s been drained by indulgence in wine and women.
"I hope my cousin marries into a good family, but definitely not the Li Family. What does it matter if they come personally?"
Yang Chuxia glanced at the matchmaker and said, "Aunt matchmaking? Haha, with an aunt like that, there’s no agreeing. Having such a black-hearted aunt and grandmother must be the misfortune of eight lifetimes. After all, they’re not her own, otherwise why didn’t she marry the eldest Miss of the Luo Family to the Li Family?"
"I say, you matchmaker, speak with your eyes open and don’t tell lies."
After hitting twice with mockery, Yang Chuxia turned her sharp words to the matchmaker, "Look at the Young Master of the Li Family, one look and you know he probably went hard last night. Who knows which concubine’s bed he got up from this morning. Just this hollowed-out look, and you have the nerve to tell me he’s handsome and imposing? Don’t be ridiculous, if he were truly young, promising, and handsome, Ms. Li of Luo Family would have long since pushed Luo Linfei to marry into the Li Family. Do you know who Ms. Li of Luo Family is? She’s the First Madam of the Luo Family, and Luo Linfei is her daughter, the most black-hearted person."
"She knows perfectly well that I won’t agree to this marriage and still sends you matchmakers over, just to use your mouths to spread the word. I warn you, once you leave my house, you’d better forget everything here. If you dare to speak one more word outside, I’ll take your life, do you hear?" At the end, Yang Chuxia even threatened a couple of sentences.
The matchmaker thought it was just matchmaking, yet she was being threatened, how unlucky.
She instantly felt that this marriage was really impossible to talk about.
"Madam Ye, whether or not you agree to this matter, it isn’t up to you, is it?" Young Master Li, who was just mocked by Yang Chuxia, spoke up.
He chuckled and said, "Miss Luo doesn’t have a mother, but her grandmother is still alive. Once her grandmother approves, the marriage is settled. Furthermore, I didn’t come today to seek your approval, Madam Ye. I’m just here to deliver the betrothal gifts. Once I’ve delivered them to the Ye Residence, my job is done. How you handle it is your business; as far as I’m concerned, the marriage is settled, the legal documentation is done, and I’ll come to pick up the bride once she reaches adulthood."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia had to regard him a bit more highly, who would’ve thought this playboy had some smarts.
But what did he say? Legal documentation?
"What did you say? Repeat what you just said!"
"Haha, Madam Ye probably doesn’t know? The Old Madam Luo said once the marriage is settled, it’s truly settled. The birthdates of both families have been matched, betrothal gifts exchanged. Even without the delivery of gifts, the marriage is as good as nailed down, and with the power of our Li Family and the Luo Family combined, plus Old Madam Luo going to the authorities herself, why wouldn’t it be possible to get a legal marriage documentation?"
Damn it!
Yang Chuxia nearly cursed!
Nowadays, most marriages would be registered with the authorities for a legal document, similar to a modern marriage certificate. Once you have it, even without a wedding ceremony, using his words, the marriage stands.
In modern terms, it’s like getting the certificate before the banquet, Luo Linyu is practically a married woman now.
She totally overlooked this layer and never expected Old Madam Luo to be so familiar with Linyu’s birthdate, and that she would personally go for legal documentation.
Legal documentation isn’t like modern times where personal presence is required, direct relatives can handle it, and with Linyu motherless, while Old Madam Luo as the grandmother and with the birthdate known, it’s indeed feasible.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help worrying about Luo Linhao’s marriage, hoping they wouldn’t have also gone to get a legal documentation, that would be disastrous.
