I often see people in the fandom deplore the fact that we have never learned exactly why Lan-furen killed Qingheng-jun’s teacher/master, or be annoyed at the fact that the novel never tells us what truly transpired between them. 

I think it is important to remember that there is a difference between plot holes and faulty world-building, and authors willfully withholding answers--and even denying readers conclusive answers. So, would there be a reason why mxtx decided not to tell us?

Everyone knows that one of the central (and very blunt) theme of the novel regards issues of rumours, infamy and public opinion in relation to the “truth” of the events. Throughout mdzs, the mysteries behind certain events are revealed to the readers, either by having them read between the lines, or by providing explicit answers in the text itself through different narrative or diegetic devices. Wei Wuxian’s non-linear narration with flashbacks into the past fills many gaps surrounding the Yiling Laozu’s reputation; Lan Xichen lays bare the events surrounding Buyetian which led to Lan Wangji’s punishment; Wei Wuxian uses Empathy to access Xiao Xingchen A-Qing’s and Nie Mingjue’s memories after their deaths (something he is only able to do because their corpses haven’t been properly laid to rest); we even get an explanation from Jin Guangyao reagarding many of the less than savory things he did, etc. 

But when it comes to Lan-furen and Qingheng-jun, how could we learn their respective perspective on the events? How could we access their own subjective “truths”? They have long since passed away and have been properly buried, literally taking their secrets and memories to the grave. Even the old master, upon whom “grievances” were supposedly enacted, isn’t there to defend himself from the accusation that his death was explained by ills he supposedly enacted. To suddenly provide the readers with a perspective on the events that would not be distorted by prejudice (e.g. Lan Qiren) or by the prism of second-hand accounts (e.g. Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji), would not actually vibe with what was presented to readers until then and would muddy the way in which the theme was explored by that point. 

It would also betray another theme of the novel relating to these discussions, which is the concept of legacy. Even if the world does not know the truth of a person or of their actions, the novel underlines the idea that we have a choice to carry with us what we believe were their true nature or intentions or even, conversely, to try to correct the mistakes that our forefathers may have and/or definitively have committed. Lan Wangji’s reaction to Wei Wuxian’s unjust demise and demonization by the Great Sects, including his own, isn’t to rebel against them and to try actively to redeem Wei Wuxian’s name in the public opinion. Instead, he choses to carry the legacy of who he knew and remembered Wei Wuxian to be: to raise Sizhui, to help the common people wherever chaos went, to share how his inventions could be used for good, to mold the new generation to be more tolerant, discerning and accepting. Lan Wangji (and Lan Xichen, likewise) also carried within him the legacy of his mother’s gentleness and love, and even to a degree, the legacy of her loss. He also carried the legacy of his father’s infamy, which we can  see permeating his interactions with Wei Wuxian during his Yiling Laozu’s days. Whether or not Qingheng-jun forced Lan-furen to stay at the Cloud Recesses against her will because he couldn’t bear the idea of her death, the choice we know Lan Wangji makes is of a larger narrative and thematic importance, and which is why it had to be revealed to Wei Wuxian (and us! Thanks Lan-da-ge). 

That’s why I believe that, ultimately, speculating about or trying to find clues to tell once and for all what did or did not take place between Lan-furen and Qingheng-jun is not actually that important to understanding the novel, and why I am perfectly satisfied knowing that I will never know.

CW! Blood, murder

Since I was kid, my parents asked me to be a good follower of Quran-Hadist. I grew in differences then I mingled with other friends and they did not complaint anything. I believe that we live in diversities. 

When you are Christian, Catholic, Buddhist, Hindus or even Atheist. Why do we still bothers?

Why you stated that 'they; did not want to mingle with other mosque? It must be a reason. They have enough money to build a mosque, are they wrong, hah?

I keep my faith in me and you too. Be wise with other perspective!
