“Jin Zixun said what?” Yanli’s voice is harsh - in fact, Wen Qing has never heard it in this manner.
Wen Qing grimaces. “He’s an ass,” she says, instead of repeating it, which she knows just about everyone agrees with. She hates, absolutely hates, having to play nice with the Jins - she despises having to swallow down her words, but their position is so tenuous and so fraught that she must be careful.
Oh, she does her best to leave comments that they just barely grasp, veiled in enough compliments that their true nature as insults are hard to identify for the Jins foolish enough to speak with her, but she must keep calm and must remain a non-identifiable threat.
For the sake of her family, for the sake of this tenuous peace, for the sake of the future.
Yanli’s jaw clenches and she takes a deep breath, and then exhales. “Well,” she says, “Maybe you can’t say anything, but I can.”
Wen Qing feels a faint spark of alarm. “A-Li,” she says, soft and worried, “I do not want to do anything to upset this...” The Wens are not yet secure, and she would do just about anything for her family.
Despite that, though, her love smiles. “Don’t worry,” she says. “It’s Jin Zixun. I’m sure I can get him to say something else insulting.”
“And then...?” Wen Qing prompts, because she hasn’t seen her like this before.
“He will regret it,” Yanli says simply, and Wen Qing can’t help but laugh.
She draws her in, presses a kiss to her temple, squeezes her hands. “Alright,” she says. “A-Li, kick his ass for me, okay?”
Yanli’s eyes twinkle. “I think I can manage that,” she says, and she leans up for a proper kiss.
