Yuan grasps his hand, shifting slightly so the fall of their robes hides it a little, and squeezes reassuringly. He can only think this is a good thing, some proof that Jin Ling was actually trying not to make a big scene - yes, he was a little bratty, but that could have been easily brushed aside. Still, Yuan is glad that this has come to light, as much as he has every faith in Jin Ling, he's grateful that this danger is being brought to more people who can protect his love.
He gasps despite himself when Jin Ling admits that he was already poisoned once, that he's been dealing with these attempts for who even knew how long, and he's even more grateful that his uncles now know about this, that they might be able to help.
When the command comes to leave, Yuan regretfully starts to step away until Lan Wangji's words stop him and he looks at the chief cultivator in surprise, then glances uncertainly at Jiang Cheng.
"Are- I'm not... family...?" he says slowly, flushing slightly when Wei Wuxian mutters a cheerful 'yet' under his breath (and isn't that ridiculous? Jin Ling keeping him is one thing, but he knows he can't be anything more than a 'mistress' to him).
Wei Wuxian, for his part, is curious why Wangji wants the other boy to stay, though he supposes it makes sense - better get this all out in the open in one go. Besides, he trusts his husband, he knows he must have his reasons.
"Alright," he says, once the rest of the guests have filed out "Why don't we sit down with some non-poisoned tea and talk about this."
