Lán Mì | 蓝 宓

If he's not treating you right, I can have a few words with him.

Hm? Don't you have the little Wei boy wrapped around your finger?

I think perhaps he instead loved the idea of fixing someone. And when he could not, he shut me away where he only had to see me when he felt like it.

Don't worry about it, my darling. Just cherish your loves for me.

I do sometimes wonder if my husband ever truly loved me.

// Oh my god side note if you hunt down accounts of mine that I haven't shared here that's so weird actually? Don't?? Do that??? Like yeah you might see stuff I keep private that's my PRIVATE ACOUNT

*She smiles at him warmly, nudging his hand to encourage him to drink his tea.*

Wangji and Xichen. They're very much grown now, but thankfully they still visit their mother. Now that I'm here again, at least. Though, I think a-Zhan still spent time here while I was d-- ah, away.

Alright darling, if you say so. If you want to hide away here you can, no one comes out here but my sons. We can talk about something else, hm?

*She very carefully tucks his bangs into his ribbon, to keep them out of his face just in case.*

-- gently in case he's hurt there too.*

I'm sure it wasn't stupid.

*She brings him a bucket, full of weeds and trimmings but just fine if he needs to puke. Them goes inside to pour some tea and bring it out as well.*

Even if it was, I've done some pretty dumb things myself. I'm sure it won't shock me.

*She rubs his back soothingly,--

Oh, it's only a foot or so!

I won't let them. This isn't something they should punish you for. And if they do, we'll simply have to pack up and leave. Is your Wei Ying a disciple here?

Of course I didn't have to, but that doesn't mean I don't want to. Are you alright? What happened?

*She looks him over, careful not to touch but brushing his bangs away from his face to check for injuries.*

Do you need a blanket? Maybe a bucket? You look pale.

It's alright darling, it's okay to ask questions! You didn't upset mama. I would rather you ask me, then keep it to yourself and get sad about something that isn't true.

Oh, baobei.

*She holds one of his hands in both of hers.*

I wasn't forced to have you, I wanted babies, too. I just would have rather it been in better circumstances, or I been allowed out and about to raise you. I was talking about my seclusion, and the situation leading to it.

He does have the right to visit, just like you. I just wish he'd do it more often even when he doesn't want a baby from me. It would be nice. Usually.

I did throw a teapot at his head last time.

Come here, you look like you're about to fall over. I'll send a butterfly to the healers.

*She quickly wipes her hands clean on a rag, and rushes inside to put a teapot on the stove to heat. She does indeed send a message to the infirmary. She brings out a blanket and sits on the porch.*

Come sit

--*He's not a child, but he can't be fully grown yet, and it worries her greatly.*

*She hears steps nearby where she's pruning the more overgrown parts of her garden, and stands to look around curiously. Upon spotting him, she frowns at the look on his face. The 2ay he's holding himself. She calls out.*

Xiao-Lan! Are you alright? What are you doing all the way out here? --

He locks me up here until I die, and can't even be bothered to visit me when I come back. Figures.

I... I do think I was dead.

*She squeezes him tighter, like one of them might disappear if she doesn't.*

Hm, maybe I should have some words with your shufu, then...

Aiyah, my baby with a baby! A little grandbaby!

Please take after me and not your father.

Oh, I don't mind it! I would just like to see you keep your freedom. It's observable what he resorts to after one ounce of affection.

I wouldn't recommend that last one, dear.

// madam lan about to be like idc if I've been dead actually I still outrank lqr and I WILL kick his ass

-- I don't want you to have to suffer the intentions of an alpha you don't want. You should be allowed to do whatever your heart wishes. If that is to start a family with your beloved, then I can support that.

You're always going to be my baby.

*She kisses his forehead again, then looks at him seriously. Looking for any sign that he's lying.*

Well, maybe not in this sect! I'd hoped Lan Qiren would do better than that.

*She sighs.*

Ah, it's neither of your faults, really. I'm just scared for you.--
