章 192: poisonous tongue

The second prince; mother had also discussed, had stayed in one of the guest courtyards, even against the wishes of father who had dissuaded him many times. Of course, this all ended in failure each time.

Sigh, mother had discussed all of these things over tea and snacks, first sounding sad, then a bit whiny because of her soon to be daughter in law and the countless high nobles who sought a marriage with the second son from the first family and the second family's first son.
