In any case, if he does return he will have a place with us. I would not have a problem with that even if you were back to being unmarried.

We have been decades married.

...with or without his knowledge.

Very well, as you put it, but you really mustn't say that in front of anyone but me, Wangji. People will get the wrong impression.

Elaborate.

They will think you entrapped him. Be careful of wording.

...entrapped him.

The wording, Wangji. You cannot say you married him and he did not know. What if Wei Wuxian were a young lady?

But he is not.

The general principle is the same, is my meaning.

Let us return to the matter of finding brother a bride.

Or groom. Let's not limit the options.

Only so styled for the act of marrying in.

Have you called Wei Wuxian your wife to his face yet, out of curiosity?

He names himself so.

Unsurprising, certainly.

I pray brother's betrothed brings him such laughter.

Thank you, Wangji. Give Wei Wuxian my fondest.

Respectfully declined.

He spoils too easily.
