章 82: Chapter 82 The Marriage is Off (2)_1

I heard that while he was out playing, he took a fancy to a village girl who wasn't even fourteen yet. Alas, the poor thing was just taken advantage of like that. Master Magistrate was busy arranging his son's marriage with a daughter from a prominent family, so of course, he couldn't let that village girl into his house. He immediately gave some silver to keep her quiet. That poor girl's family is actually well-off, and she's a good person, too. She almost hung herself out of despair. What a pity, her marriage was already discussed, but now it's been blown off. Her father, for fear that something might happen to his daughter, hurried to have a matchmaker find her a country lad; not caring much about the family, as long as the man is honest."
