“Very unfair and very sexy.” Nuzzle.

Nuzzle. "Admittedly the fact that I liked you and wanted to spend time with you probably exacerbated that problem. Somehow, though, I'm not sorry." 

“Unrepentant.” Kiss.

Kiss. "How could I repent of something that turned out so well?"

More snuggling.

SO MUCH SNUGGLING. 

"I love you so much. I'm so happy that you love me back." 

She shakes her head at the ridiculous notion of it being possible in any reality that Wen Ying loves Lan Zhan and Lan Zhan would not love her back. Absurd.

...Giggle. "In retrospect, the fact that you knew we were married at the time makes that time you walked off after saying you wanted kids too make way more sense." 

She blushes. "Wen Ying was very good with the child."

"A-Yuan is a very good baby." 

She loves her impossibly wonderful wife So Much.

The sentiment is very much mutual. 

The next morning is much less excellent than the night that preceded it, and would have been even if it were less of an impossibly excellent wedding night. Wen Chao exists, for one thing, and insists on existing at people. Right now he is existing at Jin Zixuan, demanding that he recite the Wen principles.

No, bitch.

If Jin Zixuan had actually said the bitch part out loud Wen Chao would probably be reacting even worse to that! How about Lan Zhan?

As his expression grows increasingly thunderous, Wen Ying speaks up brightly. 

"Cousin," she says sweetly. "Your intelligence and the intelligences of these disciples just can't be compared with each other." She turns her face to wink without Wen Chao or the guards being able to see. "Why don't I set a good example and recite them first?" 

Wen Chao still doesn't look happy, but he accedes. "Fine! Perhaps these uncultured people can't even read and need to hear it aloud," he sneers. 

She steps forward and begins reciting smoothly. Every time she gets to a principle that Wen Chao egregiously violates she leans juuuust a little bit towards him. When she reaches the bit about how anyone who uses the sect's power to bully others should be executed and their head put on a pike, she closes her eyes and raises her eyebrows and spreads her hands slightly. 

Hee.

It's... honestly absurd that the Wen Sect does so many amoral things blatantly but they haven't considered rewriting their clan doctrine about it. Who cares if they lie about what Wen Mao wrote, compared to burning another sect down to the ground? No one is forcing them to be this hypocritical and make fools of themselves! 

Anyway, Wen Ying is great. Mianmian gives her a thumbs up.

The answer to Mianmian's query, not that she is given it at the moment, is that Wen Ruohan doesn't care and Wen Chao is a truly epic-level idiot. You can't get this level of idiocy just by being unintelligent; you have to be utterly corrupt and spoiled.

He assigns Jin Zixuan and Lan Zhan punishment work for refusing to recite. Because he still thinks of Lan Zhan as his cousin's sex toy and is still a coward, the punishment duty does not involve hauling manure. 

This only bothers her insofar as it stops her from spending as much time as possible with her ~wife~.

(Jin Zixuan is VERY BOTHERED but manages to refrain from any outbursts about this.)

While they're busy with that, Wen Ying sneaks over to the Jin house and leaves some nice tea and a "sorry Wen Chao is a jerk and a fool" note with Mianmian. Then once it's been long enough that she's pretty sure she can get away with it she sweeps in and orders the punishment ended early and appropriates her ~wife~ and sweeps her off to her room to carefully inspect her injuries to make sure nothing was exacerbated. 

Maybe Wen Ying should kiss her better?

Yes definitely absolutely!!! Although if she actually finds anything kisses will have to be interrupted while she fetches jiejie.

Lan Zhan's leg has been strained again and some cuts have reopened from all the bending involved in heavy lifting.

Lan Zhan is pretty sure that sex with Wen Ying would be an adequate treatment for these issues.
