Chapter 580: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 580: Mischief (1)
Not wanting to put Yang Bao in a difficult position or have the matter escalate to the authorities, Mo Yan solemnly promised to return the Golden Beast to the mountains. With this assurance, Yang Bao felt relieved and politely declined her offer to stay for a meal, hurrying home instead.
Worried about her father's injury, Mo Yan set aside her troubles for the moment and brought a pot of freshly drawn spiritual spring water to Mo Qingze's courtyard.
Mo Qingze was awake but severely injured, having lost a considerable amount of blood. He could barely sit up and was lying in bed.
At this time, Mo Qingze's face was pale, his brows tightly furrowed—not from the pain of his wounds, but from worrying about something else.
"Zi Yu, the old physician Du said your injury isn't serious. As long as you rest properly, you'll recover within a month, and it won't affect the autumn examination next month," Master Liu comforted him.
Han Zhiyun also spoke earnestly, "Brother Jialan is right! You usually push yourself too hard, always busy with your studies. You don't go to bed until the third watch and wake up at the crack of dawn to study. Take this time to recover and adjust your condition."
The two stayed behind to prevent Mo Qingze from overthinking, and it turned out they were right. No one wanted this accident to happen, and with the autumn examination on the fifteenth of next month, missing it would mean waiting another three years. If they didn't trust physician Du's medical skills, they wouldn't know how to console him.
When Mo Yan entered, she overheard Han Zhiyun's words. Ignoring her father's awkwardness, she asked with a stern expression, "Uncle Han, does my father really do this every day?"
Han Zhiyun, seeing her as a lifesaver, quickly replied, "Yes, your father does this every day. It's not entirely a bad thing that he suffered today. You should advise him not to think about the autumn examination, as it won't help his recovery."

Mo Yan's expression worsened, but she nodded politely. "Thank you, Uncle Han, for your concern. I will advise my father well."
Knowing the influence Mo Yan had on his friend, both Han Zhiyun and Mr. Liu felt relieved. They gave Mo Qingze a few more words of advice and left, wanting to save face for their friend.
After closing the door, Mo Yan poured a full cup of spiritual spring water for her father, watching as he drank every drop. Her anger subsided a bit, but her face remained stern. "Father, you can ignore my advice, but you can't disregard your own health. Or do you not care about us three siblings either?"
When Mo Qingze first entered the Changshan Academy, Mo Yan worried he was pushing himself too hard. She always reminded him to sleep and eat on time whenever he returned from the academy. She never thought he ignored her advice entirely.
Seeing Mo Qingze eat so much spiritual food but not gain weight, becoming thinner instead, she thought it was due to the summer heat, not realizing it was from lack of sleep. No wonder she was so angry.
Despite knowing that her daughter spoke harshly out of concern, Mo Qingze quickly sat up, anxiously explaining, "You three are your father's treasures, more precious than his own life. How could I not care about you?"
But the movement pulled at the wound on his back, causing him to gasp in pain.
Mo Yan hurriedly helped her father lie back down, her heart aching and worried. "You’re still injured; don’t move around. For this month, don’t think about anything or do anything—just focus on healing. Otherwise, you won't be able to participate in the autumn examination next month, and I’ll have to fetch you from the examination hall when you faint!"
