In the heartland of the Luo Clan, inside Zixuan Pavilion, Xu Nanzhi has been forcibly confined here, and half a month has passed without her leaving the pavilion.
She leans on the railing, looking out at the unchanging scenery, her expression indifferent, her thoughts unknowable.
"Miss, this is today's portion of the Elixir..."
"Put it down."
Xu Nanzhi speaks softly but does not turn her head to look back even once.
The maidservant behind her, Xuan'er, who is assigned to Xu Nanzhi by the Luo Clan, was not originally from the Luo Clan but a girl selected and taken into the Luo Clan from Luoshui Village several years ago.
Xu Nanzhi had already secretly investigated Xuan'er's background, confirming that she was just a disposable piece for the Luo Clan; someone they were willing to place at her side, allowing any accidents to happen.
