Lu Huan: "Just give her some water for the next two days. After that, give her some food. It doesn't have to be too good. She's stubborn, so just some leftovers will be enough."
"Don't worry about her poop or urination. Let's see how much of her self-esteem can be left."
Zhong Cang: "Yes. It's too late. Master, go back and rest. I will take care of it."
Lu Huan replied calmly and walked to the door of his room. Then, as if remembering something, he turned around and instructed him, "By the way, have someone keep an eye on Su Zhao. If anything comes up, send someone back to me."
Zhong Cang was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I understand, Your Highness, don't worry."
Zhong Cang was the first secret guard to follow Lu Huan. Over the years, he had never seen him care about anyone or anything, but recently he found that Lu Huan was particularly concerned about Su Zhao. Last time, he even went to Zhiyi City to see her despite the danger.
Although he noticed this, he did not say much. Lu Huan was his master. In his opinion, as long as it did not threaten his master's safety, he would do whatever his master ordered.

In the Tongpan Mansion of Zhiyi City, inside the Pear Courtyard.
Jiang Xueli finished writing the last word and slammed the wolf-hair brush down on the table. "Finally finished, I'm so tired."
Jiang Xuewei, who was standing by, picked up the wolf-hair brush she had placed on the table and carefully examined it for a moment. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, she felt relieved. "You're just so impatient. The handle of this wolf-hair brush is made of the finest jade, and it feels soft and delicate to the touch. What if you broke it?"
"What's the big deal? If it breaks, you can just ask a skilled craftsman to make another one. There's nothing to be surprised about." Jiang Xueli said indifferently.
"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yan is already preparing the betrothal gifts. Sister, you're not in a hurry, so why would you bother looking at this wolf-hair brush?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "A country girl who came out of nowhere and doesn't even know her own birth date is actually able to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. Her ancestors must have gone to hell."
Su Qian is an orphan, so naturally he doesn't know his own birth date.
But ancient weddings were complicated, with documents and etiquette such as the Three Books and Six Rites.
One of the six rituals is "asking for the name", which means the man has to ask the woman's name and date of birth, and then use the birth dates of both of them to do divination to determine good or bad luck.
Generally speaking, the eight characters of the two people must be compatible before they can proceed to the next step.
But Su Qian didn't know her birth date at all, so Yan Xuanye asked someone to skip this step.
At that time, he said to Su Qian: "We children of the grassland don't care about these things. As long as we are connected, that's all. Regardless of whether our birth dates are compatible, I want you."
In Yan Xuanye's view, the three books and six ceremonies were all empty formalities. He only prepared for the wedding according to the Central Plains ceremony because Su Qian wanted him to treat her as his wife.
But for women like Jiang Xueli who take etiquette and rules very seriously in their wealthy homes, this is simply nonsense!
Jiang Xuewei washed the wolf-hair brush she had used and hung it up to dry. "Don't worry, sister. We've already made our plan, haven't we?"
Jiang Xueli came closer to her and whispered, "Sister, will this really work?"
Jiang Xuewei spoke slowly and calmly: "No matter if it helps or not, I have to try my best. If I can help my sister, it will also be my wish as a sister."
Jiang Xueli sat up straight with satisfaction: "Sister, you treat me well. I've remembered it all and will not let you down. If this good thing really happens, I will definitely thank you very much."
Jiang Xuewei smiled, took her hand, and put their hands together. "We are sisters, you don't have to be polite."
In Tingxiao Courtyard, Lu Feng walked in and bowed to Su Qian, who was applying rouge. "Goddess, the two girls from the Jiang family are here. They said they offended you a few days ago. Now that their confinement has been lifted, they want to come and apologize to you in person, hoping to get your forgiveness."
Now in the entire Zhiyi City, except for Yan Xuanye calling her Qianqian and Cuiwei calling her "girl", everyone else calls her "goddess".
Su Qian didn't care whether they were sincere or not, they just kept calling her that.
Day after day, Su Qian went from being uncomfortable at first to becoming accustomed to it.
Cuiwei was packing rouge and powder into boxes when she heard Lu Feng's report. She curled her lips sarcastically and said, "Young lady, it's better not to meet them. They must be up to something bad. They said they came to apologize to the goddess. I think they just want to lower your guard."
Su Qian tried the color of the rouge and was very satisfied.
In the past, she lived in modern times and studied very hard. Occasionally, she saw several female classmates secretly trying out the cosmetics they bought, and she was envious of them.
What girl doesn’t love beauty? And the love of beauty is not limited by age.
Her good classmate once shared with her that she had secretly worn her mother's high heels and applied her mother's lipstick when she was in elementary school.
But Su Qian had never had such an experience. At the age when she was studying hard, she was naturally envious when she saw other girls discussing newly released movies and lipstick colors together.
Now that she has traveled to ancient times, Cuiwei would help her wash and put on makeup every morning, which made her more curious and fond of makeup.
She fiddled with the perfume in her hand and said nonchalantly, "Then I won't see you."
"Lu Feng, let them go back. I don't want to see them."
Su Qian didn't say anything. Their arrival ruined her good mood.
