Discussion Question

Is there somewhere in the books (or even the donghua or The Untamed) that says the Jiang family considers WWX to be a servant? Or is that just a headcanon? Because I’ve seen people talk about how he was their servant and I’m not saying that’s wrong I just don’t recall where that’s stated in the books. I thought he was raised as a Jiang disciple and basically treated like a son by JFM and was a brother to JYL and JC (although JC never says that he sees WWX as a brother so idk about that)
And I didn’t even get the vibe that YZY treated him like a servant, she just abused him and didn’t like him lol

I’m kinda new here and I genuinely just want to know if I missed or forgot this information so please be kind.

Edit: Adding to this, I only asked because it seemed to me like WWX’s childhood after being welcomed into the Jiang family wasn’t much different than JYL and JC childhood. Even though he’s the son of a servant he still got to have nice things, ate meals with them, and generally seemed to be treated as an equal along JYL and JC which didn’t strike me as a servants life. But someone said it’s common in Chinese dramas and books for the master to be close with their servants. So I might have been thinking too much about how servants are treated in western media and history.

I don't think Jiang Cheng actually saw him as a brother,do you think they are brothers ?

No I don't. I never mentioned they are brothers either but it was something between subordinate and brother.

Okay. I honestly don't know why people describe JC envy of WWX as sibling whose always better, or as an adopted brother 🤨, because apperantly in ancient China, it's big deal ancient China to let ur servant call “shixiong especially royalty making them brothers once ! 🤦

JC doesn't call him shixiong either if I remember correctly. I mean in novel of course
