Lan Zhan hadn't either! Wei Ying sure isn't bothered. 

Oh hey speaking of Lan Zhan she should go hug Lan Zhan too, she's very happy and hugging Lan Zhan is always a good thing to do about that. 

He excuses himself.

And here's Lan Zhan! Hug!

Hug! "That went well."

Inquisitive look.

"Oh, I was talking to A-Cheng about the sworn siblinghood thing." 

...the what?

"...I mentioned it when I came in when your uncle left when your brother told him off, were you too distracted?"

She remembers Wei Ying saying something, now that she thinks about it, but she has absolutely no memory of this information.

"I apologize. Sworn siblinghood between whom?"

"Me'n Meng Yao. Uh, he--overheard enough of your uncle's ranting to, uh, figure out that you were pregnant, and of course he could figure out how, and I told him I was claiming the baby and he got that look on his face that he did when Xiao Xingchen and I figured out we were family, and it occurred to me that, uh, I have loads of family and he has none, and I wanted to share." 

"Mm." This is surprising, but maybe it shouldn't be. This is obviously the kind of thing Wei Ying would do. "Congratulations."

"Thanks. He wanted A-Cheng's permission first, which makes sense, but I knew he'd say yes even if I had to prod him into it. He was a little annoyed about having Meng Yao for competition for coolest uncle but I did not have to do any real prodding." 

Kiss. Wei Ying is thoughtful and generous and she loves her.

Kiss kiss kiss. "So that's going to happen soon...maybe we should set a date for the wedding." 

What a surreal thing to get to plan. A wedding. A wedding to Wei Ying. 

"During the war?"

"I dunno, I fully intend to end the war within the next sixth months, but...it seems like the sooner it happens the less obvious the reason for the timing is, uh, visually?"

"The ceremony could be interrupted by an emergency."

"That is true. If you don't mind needing larger wedding robes I'm fine with waiting until we definitely won't be interrupted." Kiss. 

Kiss. "I will reflect on it."

Kiss. "No rush. Not on a scale of days, anyway. Speaking of days, can you help me avoid Madam Yu for the next couple of days?" 

Her face hardens immediately. "Yes."

"It's not that big a deal or anything, but she might be annoyed with me about Meng Yao because she's best friends with Madam Jin, and I promised A-Cheng I wouldn't deflect her onto him." 

"It is a big deal. I will not allow her to hit you again."

"Ah, it's definitely not going to leave a mark or anything, don't worry, it wasn't that hard. She's probably just unhappy because Uncle Jiang died." Wei Ying is also unhappy that Uncle Jiang died. 

"She has hit you baselessly before?" It doesn't sound much like a question.
