Jiang Cheng quietly assessed her for a moment, trying and failing to understand exactly who she was or what she wanted.
"Zheng-gongzi?" He asks before it abruptly clicked. "Yuan?" He asks for clarification.
He sighs and gestures for her to sit. "I'm Jiang Cheng, sect leader of the Yunmeng Jiang Clan and Jin-zongzhu is my nephew, whom I have raised. I'm here serving the Jin Clan and conduct their business in my nephew's temporary absence."
He sits down with her and pours both of them a drink. To indicate it is perfectly safe to drink, he takes the first sip (and he outranks her by a million degrees, so there's that too). "You're the Madame Yuan has been working for?"

"You look like it! I mean, not that there was anything wrong with you before, but wow! You're like an angel!" His eyes widen even further at the courtesy name. He snickers and bows back. "Sizhui? I like that. Do you know what it means?"
Lan Bao leans back to the other disciple. "Speak carefully, Lan-xiong. That is Hanguang Jun and Wei-qianbei's son. Hanguang Jun sentenced Lan Rong 50 strikes by the bastinados for unwise words."
