I'm curious! I didn't know you had a wife or had children. You're quite different from my father and I haven't heard you mention him before. Is he quite little still?
[She assumes he has like, a toddler or something.]
Oh, that boy! He does seem a dear. I'll do my best to help him as I can, though I fear I'm not nearly as mastered in things as he. If anything he will likely have things to teach me!
I'm glad your wife still lives. I lost my mother when I was too young to even remember her face except in portrait. I'm glad you have your family.
None. My mother died shortly after bringing me into this world, unfortunately. I was sickly and my father over-protective, so I was raised in relative isolation.
There was a girl my father brought in as my lady's maid. She was the closest I've ever had to a sister, I suppose. I miss her dearly.
But truly it as just me and him and a rather nosy aunt.

Young in his summers. Accomplished in zither, sword mastery and qin. Appraised of poetry, the etiquettes and calligraphy.
I beg you guide him.

He did throw himself into his work and studies though, so I was mostly seeing to myself.
Your Sizhui has his parents too, of course. I think children can afford their parents the opportunity to right the wrongs inflicted on them.
