Chapter 177: Do not wish too hard

[Past]

"The only heir of the Ye family lost his bride."

It's new in the kingdom. Ye Jing-e's foreigner wife died. He is a widower  -- and old. It makes him a less attractive groom candidate. But a man is a man. Even if Ye Jing-e is an old widower, there would be many families who would give their young daughters to him if only he said yes. A woman is a spinster if she has reached the age of twenty and remained

unmarried. A twenty-five-year-old woman is too old. She should join the monastery. A twenty-five-year-old man is still 'young' and 'manly' enough to have a wife again.
