"The thing is, I think he intimidates pretty much everyone. I mean, he's pretty imposing from everything I've heard." Not that he'd officially met Nie Mingjue but the man does have a reputation.

"..If Shijie wasn't promised to the peacock, I might suggest that. She's good at handling...temperamental people."

"Yanli-jie would be perfect for handling him but I know she has her eye on someone else. I wouldn't want to interfere with that."

She doesn't share her male friends' dislike of Jin Zixuan either. Sure, he has his flaws but so does everyone and she can understand why he might resent his engagement even if she strongly disagrees with his assessment of Jiang Yanli. Personally, Nie Huaisang would just set her sights on someone else that did appreciate her but she respects her friend's decision.

"I suppose I should think of strategies for improving my brother's marriage prospects. I agree that he's not very approachable as he is now. If he were to get in touch with his softer side and learn how to present that to prospective partners, well, that would solve many problems here."

She loves her brother dearly but honestly, he needs all the help he can get.

"There has to be someone else suitable to stand up to him when he needs it." He sets the jar down, glances at her.

"I think I can get you an invitation to Lotus Pier once we're all home.I'll talk to Shijie."

"If she is willing, I'd be delighted to have her as a sister-in-law. No matter how this turns out."

A life in Lotus Pier with her friends instead of her restrictive existence at home certainly holds great appeal to her. It sounds like such a wonderful place from their stories. Much more suitable to her than cold, rocky, and boring Qinghe.

"I'd love to visit and see it for myself. It sounds so lovely when you talk about it."

She sips from her jar. It's not as strong as some of the liquor in her home but it's still pleasant.

"That or Jiang Cheng coming to see you at Qinghe with Uncle Jiang." Either one would net results, but she probably wouid enjoy the freedom of Yunmeng.

"We'll make it happen."

It's comforting to not have to deal with this alone. To have a solid backup and a friend she can rely on. Wei Wuxian's sweet and will make someone very happy someday. She's sure of it.

"Thank you, Wei-xiong. You're a good friend."

A break from Qinghe would certainly make her happy. She gets so sick of being stuck there sometimes, she actually looks forward to attending boring lectures at the Cloud Recesses.
