The matter of Fu Chen's injury was kept secret, and even Fu Sinian, Duan Linbai, and the others didn't know about it.
In Old Master Fu's words, it was to save Third Master some face in case others found out that he was almost thirty and had even been beaten by the ferule. He was afraid that he would be too ashamed to face anyone.
Most importantly, this matter couldn't be made public yet.
But the next day, Jing Hanchuan got someone to send a few fish to the old residence, saying that it was for Fu Chen to make soup to nourish his body. He had likely already noticed something.
The two days that Fu Chen was at the old residence coincided with Song Fengwan's weekend, so she naturally came diligently. Later on, she had to attend class, as well as evening self-study, and she said that she wanted to review and prepare for the CET4 exam, so she naturally came less frequently than on the weekends.
This made Fu Chen very depressed.
