Thanks to the ample supply of Yanchen Fragrant Leaves and a good doctor regularly examining and changing his medicines, Chen Dabao's leg improved significantly. Following mid-August, he was able to walk without crutches and didn't feel any pain, even being able to run and jump. Nevertheless, Chen Afu didn't allow him to walk casually. As the saying goes, an injury to muscles and bones takes 100 days to heal. Thus, she advised him to restrict his activities until three months had passed.
On the evening of August 22nd, Chu Lingxuan, who had been gone for several days, finally returned. He arrived when it was already dark. The Old Marquis had already led Chu Hanyan and Chu Lingzhi back to the Tang Garden. Dabao was under the lamp, writing in large characters, while Chen Afu sat next to him, sewing.
