Summary
“If you’re going to ask me to solve yet another one of your problems,” Jin Guangyao said mildly to Nie Huaisang when he had, yet again, burst into his office in a whirlwind of definitely-too-frilly-to-be-appropriate court dress, “then I’ll remind you that last time, I told you I wouldn’t be helping you if it was anything short of someone dying.”
“But that’s just it, san-ge!” Nie Huaisang said, clapping his hands together. “Someone did die!”
(In which Nie Huaisang is definitely not solving a murder, but fully intends to solve the mystery of why Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao think they can't be friends anymore.)

Summary
“Clarity would not work to fix Chifeng-zun,” Lan Wangji opined.
Nie Huaisang resisted the urge to kick him – Lan Wangji wouldn’t stick his foot in somewhere it wasn’t wanted if he didn’t actually have relevant information – but even Lan Qiren frowned at him.
“You seem remarkably certain about that, Wangji,” he said. “But why not? While it’s not appropriate for every circumstance, it’s an extremely powerful song. I would think that it would be at least worth an attempt.”
Lan Wangji looked distinctly shame-faced, though perhaps only someone who knew him very well would recognize that particular flavor of it.
“I see,” Lan Qiren said. “And what exactly has your brother done that he doesn’t want me to know about?”

Summary
“It’s not that I disagree with your approach, of course,” Lan Xichen remarked to Jin Guangyao on one of their night-hunts together, as much an excuse to get Jin Guangyao away from the uncomfortable atmosphere of Jinlin Tower and Lanling more generally as anything else. “It’s only a stylistic difference, really; your way is as good as mine. But I really feel I have to say something, since I don’t think your way has been working all that well, under the current circumstances.”
“I…I’m not sure what you mean, er-ge,” Jin Guangyao said, after a brief pause. Normally he had a very good understanding of Lan Xichen, or so he thought, but at the moment he was utterly clueless.
“I’m referring to the way you act pitiful and virtuous in order to get what you want,” Lan Xichen said, and something in Jin Guangyao’s brain came to a very sudden halt.

Summary
Lan Qiren wasn't sure what he'd expected when he'd agreed to let his cousin adopt Cangse Sanren's son after her death, as per her expressed wishes - even fighting off Jiang Fengmian - but he certainly didn't expect that it would involve his younger nephew trailing after him everywhere like a besotting duckling.
The explosions were about what he'd expected, though.
