Past for my abandoned justice react to their future

Part 5

  

Lan Sizhui- We have been here for quite a while isn't it strange we haven't felt hunger?

Everyone looked at each other puzzled until Baoshan told them not to look a gift horse in the mouth. They shrugged and focused back on the screen.

        Wei Wuxian woke up earlier than even the Lan's schedule dictated. He got himself bathed and ready for the day before calling his assistant A-Hua. She hovered in front of him briefly studying him to make sure he was unharmed since she last saw him. Then she bowed respectfully presenting him a thick scroll. " Is this everything A-Hua?" It was. He knew it was. A-Hua had always gone above and beyond for him almost treating him like her child. She smiled widely with her pretty red lips accenting her sharp fangs. "Yes, my prince. This scroll even includes witness reports written by the witnesses themselves. They were more than happy to finally be receiving justice. Do you require anything else?" Wei Wuxian patted her head gently like he would a child with a small smile.

            Her eyes sparkled with joy at the affectionate touch. The spirits of the dead were never truly given affection only respect for who they used to be. They enjoyed that their master was so affectionate with them. It provided them the stability they needed to maintain their sense of self.

Wen Rouhan-Huh? I did not know that. It's probably why the Underworld prefers him over                                              me. Still, he is too kind.

Lan Sizhui looks over at Jingy curiously. "Jingy what are you doing?" Said boy had taken off his top layer of robes and was using ink and brush on the back of it. "I'm taking notes. It's not everyday we get tips from a death god." The Lans blinked at the least studious Lan in their clan perplexed before Lan Meilin spoke up. "Can I get a copy when we get back?" The boy just nodded before he was swarmed with requests for copies of his notes. Quingheng-Jun just smiled before teasing his son. "Look at that Wangji you haven't met your husband yet and he is already teaching the clan." Lan Wangji's ears were burning but deep down he felt a sense of pride. 

 " No, no worries. I know you are extremely busy....but if you find time..... can you keep an eye on my husband for me to keep him safe?" She giggled melodiously poking Wei Wuxian's nose to tease him. " Seems our little prince cares a lot about his husband. My my, what am I to do he grew up so fast. One second you are pinning away then I blink and you are married *Dramatic sigh* Of course, you can count on me. I will keep an eye out for him." 

Baoshan- Their relationship is so wholesome. I love it. My grandson really cares about you Lan Wangji. That's his oldest assistant the one in charge of all the most important work. Yet he has her watching over you instead of other things.

Lan Wangji just nodded eyes glued to the screen.

She vanished into thin air while a pouting Wei Wuxian grabbed the papers of his dowery along with the report. " No respect around here, geez. Who is the master and who is the assistant?" He never noticed the slightly open door that Lan Wangji had been standing behind.

Lan Xichen-Wangji?! What are you doing? eavesdropping is against the rules. 

Quingheng-Jun- Xichen let him be we don't know the whole story yet.

          Lan Wangji had woken up at his normal time slightly before the Lan sect bell went off. He sat up to get ready but sat still as he heard a woman's voice. Initially, he was confused that someone was in his house before he remembered he was married now. That someone else now lives with him for better or for worse. He didn't care what his new husband did. Truly he had been ready to die that day the young man stopped him. That bitter feeling in his chest was just because his new (not even a day old) husband was disrespecting his house. That was right, Wei Wuxian would not disrespect his house with some random woman. If he wanted to meet some lover he could do it elsewhere. Brimming with determination he made his way to Wei Wuxian's room.
