The Old Man Mo was originally from the Southwest Yunqi Kingdom, and his real name was Mo Yun.
In his youth, he studied under the renowned figure in the martial arts world, the 'Heroic Physician' Lo Shicheng, who was both a famous doctor and an extraordinary martial artist. He then traveled the world alongside Lo Shicheng, experiencing various adventures.
By this time, the young Mo Yun had already transformed into a wise and astute person through his rich and colorful life experiences.
When the Heroic Physician Lo Shicheng passed away in old age, Mo Yun, now in middle age, inherited his legacy as his only disciple.
Afterward, he was invited to the royal palace by the ruler of the Mongolian-Manchu Kingdom to serve as the emperor's exclusive physician. However, his good fortune did not last long; he soon fell victim to jealousy and scheming from others and was nearly executed.
Fortunately, Qiaoqiao encountered Ling Yuxuan's father, who happened to be traveling in the Mongolian-Manchu Kingdom at that time. He was Ling Jianyu, the most favored of the Three Princes of the Southern Yun Kingdom, who came to Mo Yun's rescue.
From then on, he followed Ling Jianyu to the Nanchu Kingdom. With Ling Jianyu's assistance and support, he opened a medical clinic called Jishitang.
Tired of the deceitful politics of the court, he chose to remain low-key and no longer wished to practice medicine or hold an official position in the capital. Instead, he maintained a private friendship with Ling Jianyu.
Until Ling Jianyu and his wife were both murdered, Old Man Mo was heartbroken. However, there was nothing he could do to change the situation.
To protect his benefactor's only child, Xiao Ling Yuxuan, he negotiated with Qin Ming for Qin Ming to take Ling Yuxuan away from the capital while he stayed behind with his disciples to cover their escape.
Not long after, when no more pursuers were sent from the capital, Old Man Mo felt relieved enough to entrust Jishitang in the capital to his disciples before following Qin Ming to Hengfeng County to reunite with him.
For a long time, Old Man Mo had hoped to assist Ling Yuxuan's father, Ling Jianyu, in obtaining power for their nation. Unfortunately, Ling Jianyu was too kind-hearted compared to his elder brother and never believed that his brother would harm him. This led to their nation being seized by his brother when it should have been easily within reach.
With gratitude for Ling Yuxuan's father's past rescue and support still in his heart, Old Man Mo willingly followed Qin Ming and recognized Ling Yuxuan as their new master.
He planned to help Young Master seek revenge and possibly assist him in ascending to a supreme position.
For many years, he watched as Young Master remained trapped in hatred and sorrow for most of the time, seemingly never experiencing happiness.
Now, having witnessed several times how Young Master behaved around Ziyan, it was clear that he had feelings for her and shared a harmonious rapport with her. Additionally, Qin Ming had informed him about Young Master's basic situation with Ziyan during their private meetings.
Thus, at this point, he felt there was no need to hide anything from her anymore.
Listening to Old Man Mo's words, Ziyan glanced at Ling Yuxuan, and she understood in her heart that from now on, they would no longer have any secrets from her.
At the same time, Ling Yuxuan, who had been quietly following Ziyan, stepped forward, taking Beloved Child's small hand and returning to the Courtyard.
Ling Yuxuan led her to start opening the rooms one by one on the first floor, carefully inspecting each one. Meanwhile, Old Man Mo seemed to remember something else and had already quietly left with the remaining Clerk.
After thoroughly checking the several rooms on the first floor, the two of them went up to the second floor and inspected each room there as well.
Naturally, there were no personal belongings inside, but the rooms, walls, windows, and even corners were all cleaned spotless, almost without a speck of dust. This reminded her of the design location of the toilet in the backyard.
This made her view Boss Hong in a new light: although he appeared to be a rough middle-aged man, he truly valued environmental hygiene. It was clear that Boss Hong was someone who was meticulous beneath his coarse exterior.
But why would such a good shop and courtyard be for sale?
Thinking of this, Ziyan realized she had forgotten to ask Boss Hong about the reason for selling such a good property.
"What do you plan to do with this shop and courtyard?"
After seeing Ziyan wandering back and forth in the front Courtyard and the backyard for quite some time, Ling Yuxuan could no longer contain her curiosity about her beloved's thoughts.
"Um—about this?"
Just as Ziyan was about to answer Ling Yuxuan, she saw several Clerks streaming in from outside. Some were carrying stools, while others were lifting an antique and beautiful bed, chair, and desk together.
"Uh? You—aren't you guys at the wrong door?"
Ziyan was suddenly startled and asked.
"No, we are delivering these to you."
As the voice came through, a tall and sturdy man squeezed in beside the Clerks who were moving things.
It turned out to be the same Clerk who had disappeared at the same time as Old Man Mo. The Clerk brushed off the dust from his clothes and walked up to Ziyan, saying, "They haven't come to the wrong place. These are the items that Doctor Mo asked me to purchase from the Furniture Store. Doctor Mo is currently busy with consultations, and many patients are waiting for him, so he can't leave at the moment. However, Doctor Mo instructed that everything you need will be prepared properly for you. Of course, if you have any additional requests, please feel free to let us know. I will be at your service anytime in the future. My surname is Wu, and my given name is Xiang. You can just call me Wu Xiang from now on."
Hearing this, Ziyan exchanged a glance with Ling Yuxuan, who nodded at her.
Ziyan turned back to Wu Xiang and replied, "Okay, then I will trouble you, Wu Xiang."
"It's no trouble at all; it is my honor to serve you and Young Master. By the way, Miss, please take a look at these pieces of furniture and see if they meet your satisfaction. If not, I can have them returned and replaced with ones you prefer."
Ziyan casually glanced at the uniform furniture; honestly speaking, Wu Xiang had a good eye for choosing furniture. They were all in a simple light sauce color that she liked.
Thinking of this, she smiled at Wu Xiang and said, "No need; I am very satisfied with these colors!"
"Mm." After Wu Xiang nodded and bowed, he went outside to help the other Clerks move things in.
Before long, Wu Xiang came in carrying a Stone Table by himself, which left Ziyan stunned.
Even Ling Yuxuan beside her squinted her eyes and raised her eyebrows as she observed this Clerk named Wu Xiang. She had heard Qin Ming mention that Old Man Mo had trained two Strongmen; it turned out that Wu Xiang was one of them. This large Stone Table must weigh five or six hundred pounds at least, yet he effortlessly carried it in one go and placed it right in the center of the Courtyard.
Ziyan couldn't help but swallow hard and then hopped over to Wu Xiang, punching him lightly on the chest. Suddenly, it felt like her punch hit a solid composite elastic board, and she let out an "ah" as she was easily pushed back nearly ten feet by Wu Xiang, who was always prepared.
Wu Xiang realized he had caused trouble but was unsure of Ziyan's intentions. He could only stammer and ask, "Miss, what... what is this?"
