hi it’s hunxi from my phone but I would like for you to consider that, of all the Yunmeng sibs, Jiang Yanli can curse both Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng under their table. It comes from frequenting the fish markets and the piers, and listening and observing carefully before proceeding to haggle her way through the week’s shopping. The first time bb!Wei Ying heard her switch into sailor speak he stared at her with huge huge eyes and said “can you teach me”
@hunxi-guilai HUNXI THIS IS HILARIOUS YOUR BRAIN IS FULL OF GALAXIES
It is a well-known secret within Yunmeng that Jiang Yanli, the demure and polite eldest daughter of the Jiang Sect Leader, can and will, in fact, utter the most foul-mouthed profanities anyone has ever heard should you provoke her. She can go toe to toe with the rowdiest, most vulgar of maritime merchants who dock on the shores of Yunmeng to sell their goods, and she unquestionably always wins.
Perhaps it is the lineage of sharp-tongued Yus which run through her veins. Or perhaps it is the immense satisfaction she gets while bartering with Yunmeng traders using their own colloquial tongues. Even decades after her passing, the people of Yunmeng still excitedly regale new patrons of how eight-year-old Jiang Yanli gave a newcomer in the markets such a thorough tongue-lashing that the man may very well have pissed in his pants after she discovered him pushing around little Jiang Cheng who had gotten lost.
Wei Wuxian may have been born with chaotic gremlin energy, but it was encouraged, watered, and fueled by one Jiang Yanli.
All in all to say that Jin Zixun got off lucky. You can’t, however, tell me she would not have spent at least some of her brief life in Lanling casually spewing profanities at Jin Zixun where only he could hear, only for no one to believe him when he complained / reported. Jiang Yanli, the sweet wife of Jin Zixuan, cursing? How could that possibly be? Jin Zixun, you must be mistaken indeed.
