People need to stop using "I think Jiang Cheng thought of Wei Wuxian as a brother though" as an excuse to dismiss the abuse he did enact on Wei Wuxian. Especially because no, he did not ever think of Wei Wuxian as a brother. You do not abandon someone as easily as he did if you think of them exactly as family. You do not hold a supposed "shared" family over another's head as a guilt trip to deny your own wrongdoing and failures and demand reparations that are not owed to you.

It's as simple as he never thought of Wei Wuxian as a brother especially when the text of the novel goes out of it's way to prove that was a another unfortunate lie that came about to slander Wei Wuxian.

Also, I swear imma make that “the clown brigade were bad friends” meta this time around (eventually), but I need folks to stop talking about that servant-beats-master scene as if all it is was “Xie Lian witnesses a servant beating his master and feels bad,” leading to the interpretation of the scene to be that he feels bad because he sees himself as a “bad master” to Feng Xin and Mu Qing because “he treated them bad.”

The series of events surround that scene are:

Mu Qing leaves, citing their inability to make it out of the mud because of Xie Lian’s new identity as a fugitive.

Xie Lian is hurt by this but accepts Mu Qing’s wishes and lets him go peacefully.

Xie Lian and Feng Xin see the servant beating his master together on their way to pawn off a sword for money.

The servant is yelling at the master that he’s beating about how his loyalty has been exploited and his dignity degraded because his master benefitted from his loyalty while he got no material benefits in return. These words, specifically, strike a cord with Xie Lian.

The crowd sides with the servant. Feng Xin sides with the servant, saying that the servant was right to rebel and the master really was “no good.” Xie Lian is even more upset after these words. Feng Xin does not notice.

The duo eventually leave and successfully pawn the sword. Xie Lian then tries to gives Feng Xin something to pawn the moment they get home as material compensation for his loyalty.

Feng Xin, incapable of self-reflection, memory recall, or reading a room, rejects the offer, and though Xie Lian eventually does force something on him, his confusion does put Xie Lian’s mind at ease.

Much later, Feng Xin begins to actively ask Xie Lian for money and valuable items to pawn but refuses to say what for, politely telling Xie Lian he should mind his own business.

Xie Lian starts to think that Feng Xin is gonna pull a Mu Qing on him.

Now amidst all this, Xie Lian has begun being haunted by White No-Face again—which starts up after Mu Qing leaves because White No-Face wants to show Xie Lian that the “only person” who’ll accept Xie Lian at his lowest is the calamity—Mu Qing makes a return to betray Xie Lian a second time by bullying him in front of the 33 gods with Xie Lian’s former status, and Feng Xin makes it clear that he doesn’t truly believe Xie Lian anymore—not in his morality or as his friend. Now whenever Xie Lian returns from being kidnapped one of his disappearances, Feng Xin ends up throwing it in his face that “I’m taking care of your parents while you’re galavanting who knows where!” setting up their new dynamic in Xie Lian’s head as “Feng Xin is here because he’s loyal to duty, not because he’s loyal to friendship. He stays only because he feels he has to, and it’s only a matter of time before, just like Mu Qing, the disadvantages outweigh that sparse sense of duty.”

During Xie Lian’s little stint as “almost calamity,” this is THE source of his resentment: I put my whole self into serving my kingdom, I put my whole self into being a good friend, I put my whole self into being a filial son, but I still ended up abandoned in the end. And this is also why he doesn’t reach out to either of the idiot duo, himself, once be ascends for the 3rd time, not because “oh he’s putting the power in their hands as the hurt parties.” THEY ARE NOT THE HURT PARTY!!!! Xie Lian is the hurt party, and he gets over their abandonment by acknowledging that they were both fairweather friends and there’s no point of dredging up 800-year-old resentments when the last time he did that, he ended up “killing” the only person who hadn’t abandoned him! He doesn’t seek them out because he doesn’t need or really want them around. They talk over him, undermine him, destroy his scant belongings, degrade his temples, and use his traumas as gotchas against each other. They are nuisances at best and self-absorbed assholes at worst, and they can only return to some semblance of cordiality and warmth when they—not Xie Lian—finally get it beaten into them that they’re gonna have to either BE good people to him or accept that he’s absolutely fine without them.
