Summary
This news is what Lan Wangji returns to from his wedding. Wei Ying finds it amusing, but is unreasonably quiet on the matter, and suggests visiting his new brother-in-law. The couple call upon his usual residence, but the Hanshi is empty, windows open and curtains billowing in the cool summer breeze. His office is strewn with papers and letters, some burned in the hearth. A jar of alcohol is shattered on the table, now sticky and solidified after hours, maybe even days. An old jade token is left on the rug, beside a mahogany box.
Wei Ying scrunches up his nose. “What happened here? It looks like it got raided.”
Lan Wangji recognizes the signs.Or—an introspective piece on Lan Xichen.
