Wei Wuxian is actually kind of enjoying shooing people out of Lotus Pier, honestly, but he keeps his grumpy expression on his face and makes sure everybody leaves (and maybe if he makes himself as much of an annoyance as possible, people will go away grumbling about him rather than Jiang Cheng - it's not much, but he'll help where he can, and he doesn't mind people being mad at him at this point).
The fun he's having stops rather abruptly when Jiang Mentao approaches him, and he sobers up a little to consider the question. It's not something he wants to bother Jiang Cheng with, he's also not something he really wants to bother his nephew with at the moment, though he knows he's going to have to step up and be a leader about it before long.
"Alright," Wei Wuxian says after a moment. "tell the guards to please be patient, they have nothing to worry about if they haven't been moving against Jin-zongzhu. Watch them when you say it, then come and tell me how they reacted. I'll go deal with the guest room."
Xiaowen is (hopefully) the head of the snake, but that doesn't mean there aren't still a few scales to shed. He pauses before he leaves and looks back.
"Tell them Jin-zongzhu dealt with Xiaowen's betrayal personally. Tell me how they react to that, as well."
