Jiang Cheng crawling on the floor right in front of Wang Lingjiao, clutching the hem of his mother's robe, begging her not to maim Wei Wuxian, I'm unwell.
...you know, I think Jiang Cheng spent all those years feeling just as fucking guilty about Wei Wuxian getting made the whipping boy in his name, as Wei Wuxian did about being Yu Ziyuan's stated motivation for making her family miserable.
Angrier about it than Wei Wuxian! More interested in throwing the blame around! Resentful! But just as guilty.
Really adds more depth to his abortive attempt a little after this to die for him, and Wei Wuxian's much more successful maneuver a while after that to maim himself for him.
Also adds to the 'Remarkable He's As Sane As He Is, Honestly' stats of post-timeskip Sect Leader Jiang.
