Whats your opinion on JC knowing Sizhui is a Wen? I've seen interpretations where people say he would have recognised Yuan if he saw him young enough and put two and two together, others where he finds out later and flies into a rage. I personally think he would be fairly disinterested in LWJ's ward that he wouldn't recognise him, but I really can't see him wanting a child dead after finding out who he is.
I don't have a firm opinion! I tend more towards thinking he'll probably figure it out at some point post canon based on how Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning interact with Sizhui, but post canon Jiang Cheng is someone who has made his peace with Wen Ning running around. If Jiang Cheng is willing to downgrade Wen Ning from "brother-in-law killing, life ruining, unholy abomination I'd like to set on fire" to "person I don't want to invite into my house" after the second siege at the burial mounds but before the golden core reveal and Wen Ning choosing to protect Jin Ling from Mingjue, I can't see him not at a minimum extending the same courtesy to a friend of Jin Ling's who he doesn't have any specific grudge against. I think he's likely to feel some combination of fascinated by and uncomfortable with the Wei Wuxian connection, but there's a lot of different places you can go with that. I agree that pre-canon Jiang Cheng is probably not very interested in Lan Wangji's ward and is also unlikely to be in direct contact with baby lans until they're old enough to come out night hunting.
