"All my cousins used to try to beat me up or hoped something happened to me so they'd get in line to be heir," Jin Ling says with a sigh. "I remember until I was like.. 8? I think? Xiaoshu's son Jin Rusong was fun to play with." Of course.. he had to go get murdered. Sigh. He wasn't sure if the accusations that his uncle had been behind that were true or not, but he hadn't known who to ask. Now he kind of didn't want to know.
"I'm guessing that's not normal, right? You haven't experienced that sort of thing with your cousins?" He asks, looking over. "It's something in my clan I need to fix?" Some kind of attitude adjustment or priority adjustment that needed to happen. Somehow he needed to unite this clan or find a way to cripple it permanently so it wouldn't hurt anyone else.

"Dare we ask what you did?" Lan Qiren asks concerned over what method had likely been used.
"He didn't do anything. I threatened her," Jingyi snaps immediately. "Should it matter either way? This is Hanguang Jun's child! Is there a method we shouldn't use?"
"Jingyi!" Lan Zhan scolds, but not nearly as harshly as he normally would. It was more of a warning.
"There certainly is! And I thought.." Lan Qiren looks from Lan Zhan to Wei Wuxian and back. "I thought he was adopted.." He looks ill. Was this really a bastard child?
Lan Xichen is staring shocked at all of them. Sizhui does look just like his brother..
