Brother seeks a husband or a wife?

[lanclan]

It doesn't matter to me.

[downswing]

Understood. We shall send word.

[lanclan]

Thank you, Didi.

[downswing]

My privilege.

Best for brother to have companionship.

[lanclan]

I think so too.

[downswing]

And exit seclusion.

[lanclan]

I will. It was never a permanent solution.

[downswing]

Brother has wronged no one. Committed no evil.

[lanclan]

Self-indulgence, certainly.

[downswing]

The blindness of a kind heart.

[lanclan]

Wangji, I may rely on you more than usual at first. I hope that will not be an inconvenience.

[downswing]

The back of the sect exists to support the leader.

[lanclan]

Thank you.

Wei Wuxian will be residing with you the Jingshi, I assume? We haven't discussed such things.

[downswing]

Those who have fled home, then returned here have reported... no memory of occurrences in this world.


( In other words, Wei Ying might not... know to seek him out. )

[lanclan]

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.

[downswing]

We have been decades married.

...with or without his knowledge.

[lanclan]

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.

[downswing]

Elaborate.

[lanclan]

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

[downswing]

...entrapped him.

[lanclan]

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

[downswing]

But he is not.

[lanclan]

The general principle is the same, is my meaning.

[downswing]

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