Now that he's read the letter, zhuo thinks that it's time for yan to process it. He's heard that lady yan has been badly wounded in the south, and he'd like to help her. . He tells shang that he should get a prescription from his master, since yan is supposed to be there to care for her, and that's just the way it is. He says he'll just call in iaozhongzi and wash his back. Worried that she'll be embarrassed, he tells her to get some clean clothes, warm water, and a shower. He doesn't want her to be ashamed, but she's still an unmarried girl, so she won't be able to ask him to do it for her. She'll marry him soon, he says, and they'll have a baby soon. He asks her if she was hurt on purpose, to torture him, and she says she wasn't. She tells him that it took her about 20 minutes to scrub her back, but it took about 50 minutes to do the same thing to her.
