After Mrs. Chu and Chu Lingxuan left, Fu Garden returned to its usual tranquillity.
Every day at late morning, Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi would come to Fu Garden, where Chen Afu taught the three children. At midday, Marquis Chu would also come here for a meal. After the meal, Marquis Chu would return to Tang Garden to rest, then come back in the evening for another meal, and then the elder and the two children would return to Tang Garden.
Chu Lingxuan came back every few days, always in a hurry. He was probably busy until late at night before he hurriedly returned, making up excuses to talk to Chen Afu at Fu Garden, bringing gifts for the children, and leaving hurriedly before dawn the next day.
