Night time, at the Lotus Lake

"So we're back at Lotus Pier?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Maybe. Lets just watch further." said Sizhui.

Wei Wuxian was sitting at the edge of the lake while looking at the at the sky.

"You're okay now?" asked Jiang Cheng.

"Maybe." said Wei Wuxian.

"But, it seems something was off." said Jiang Yanli.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." said Sizhui as he looked intently at the screen.

"A-niang seemed sad." he added.

Suddenly, he stood up as he slowly take of his robes, layer by layer. After he took off all of it leaving him only in his trousers, a dozen intersecting wound from whip lashes can be seen. By the look of it, these wounds are new because it was still open and bleeding.

"What the f*ck?!" cursed Jiang Cheng.

"How did you get those?" he asked with anger in his eyes.

"A-xian, tell us." said Jiang Yanli seeing how Wei Wuxian avoid their eyes.

"If he won't, I'm sure the screen will show it." said Jiang Cheng.

Wei Wuxian slowly submerged himself to the lake, hissing when a cold water come in contact with his open wounds.

"Wei Ying." called Lan Wangji.

Sizhui was holding tightly on his robes with his eyes so cold.

He stayed still for a while, closing his eyes as a memory flashed across his eyes.

It a week after Jiang Fengmian brought him to Lotus Pier.

"Why is it showing this?" Wei Wuxian murmured.

"Is there something we should know?" asked Jiang Yanli.

Wei Wuxian was panicking now.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from my children?" Madam Yu asked as she grabbed little Wei Wuxian in the arm.

"A-niang." said Jiang Yanli.

"A-xian is our brother." she added.

"If I found out you did something to my second son-in-law, I won't let you go." said Qingheng-jun.

"Madam Yu, it was Jiang shushu who told me to play with them." said little Wei Wuxian.

"You dare answer back at me! Your Jiang shushu is really something huh. He let a son of a servant near my son." Madam Yu said with a scoff.

"If you I saw you near him again, I will punish you." she added as she shoved Wei Wuxian who fall to the ground and leave.

"Yu Ziyuan." said Qingheng-jun.

"What? Am i not allowed to do that?" she asked.

"If you don't want him, then you should hsve talked about it with your husband. You're hurting an innocent child." said Qingheng-jun.

"You should have tell us, a-xian." said Jiang Yanli.

"As if you can do anything about it." Sizhui said with a scoff.

"What do you mean?" asked Jiang Yanli.

"I mean, you can do nothing." said Sizhui.

"A-yuan, I won't accept that attitude of yours towards shijie." siad Wei Wuxian.
