Eleanor’s Peak of Life and Death Chapter 21

Yao Qianjin was hot-tempered. She lost her appetite and pestered her father to find out about Chen Bohuan. Although Chen Bohuan was married, it was a closed-door affair. Who in the surrounding area knew about it? Even the town didn't know about the marriage between the Luo and Chen families.

Then Miss Yao learned that Mr. Chen "had not yet married."

After several investigations, the county magistrate felt that Xiao Chen was capable, gentle, and of good family conditions, so he sent someone to discuss the marriage with the Chen couple.

Mr. Chen was extremely regretful of this. They tactfully told the county magistrate's men that they would think about it first. After closing the door, the two old men started arguing.

Chen Yuanwai said, "You are so anxious! That poor scholar died early, and his daughter should have mourned for him for three years. If you hadn't let them get married first, our son would have regretted it now! Look at what this is!"
