"I don't know about this," Pang Yi seemed to be hesitant to speak. Somehow, the story of "The Scholar, the Soldier and the Backyard Men" popped into his mind. He looked at Mei Ya and paused. Then he whispered awkwardly, "That lady. I asked Guard Kong's men. It seems that Mr. Chen asked Guard Kong to help him... ahem... catch the adulterer."
Zhong Mingwei, who just pushed the door open: "..."
“Bang!”
Meiya dropped the bowl on the ground, her mouth wide open in shock: "...Catch someone cheating? Whose cheating?"
Pang Yi shook his head awkwardly: "I don't know about this, and I don't feel comfortable asking in detail."
"So exciting... No, no, no, such an important question. You didn't even ask clearly!" Mei Ya's face turned red with excitement. She didn't even pick up the bowl that fell on the ground, and walked out in a hurry.
"Where are you going?" Zhong Mingwei hurriedly grabbed Mei Ya's hand.
"I'll go to Fengyu Villa to have a look!" Meiya said hurriedly. "Maybe I can help a little!"
Zhong Mingwei looked hopeless: "How can I help? Catching an adulterer?"
Mei Ya hurriedly turned around and said, "Yes, yes, yes! I'm still very skilled!"
"You are not allowed to go." Zhong Mingwei had a terrible headache. He reached out and pulled Mei Ya to sit at the table. "Be good and stay at home and eat well."
"Why?" Meiya no longer had the heart to eat. Her heart had already flown to Fengyu Villa. She said patiently, "Mr. Chen is an old acquaintance and friend of ours. We are still neighbors now. If our neighbors are in trouble, shouldn't we lend a hand to them? Otherwise, Zhong Mingwei, you can come with me?"
"Do you want to lend a helping hand, or do you want to watch other people's fun?" Zhong Mingwei was about to have a headache. He brought a bowl of eight-treasure sweet yogurt and placed it in front of Mei Ya.
"Of course I am..." Mei Ya muttered, but looking at Zhong Mingwei's face, she was too embarrassed to continue, knowing that Zhong Mingwei would definitely not allow her to go to Fengyu Villa, so she lay down on the table in frustration, eating the eight-treasure sweet cheese bit by bit, complaining, "Mr. Chen is really mean, he didn't even think of doing something as good as catching an adulterer, humph! I hate Mr. Chen! I really hate him!"
The corner of Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched: "...Are you sure this is a good thing?"
"Of course, I might not meet him once in my lifetime. But with such a good opportunity, Mr. Chen only thought about Guard Da Kong! I never thought Mr. Chen was such a person!" Mei Ya became angrier and angrier as she spoke. She pouted like an angry little frog. "It turns out that in Mr. Chen's eyes, Guard Da Kong is the closest person to him, and he is just being distant with us..."
"You hope Mr. Chen will come to us to help him catch his wife cheating?" Zhong Mingwei silently put down the bowl in his hand, looked at Mei Ya with hesitation, and then sighed softly, "Then within a day, the whole capital will know that the newly crowned number one scholar is looking for Prince An and his wife to help catch their wife cheating? At most, we will be labeled as troublemakers. How can you let Mr. Chen stay in the capital in the future? How can he work in the Hanlin Academy?"
Mei Ya was startled, then whispered: "I forgot, we have been watched the whole time, it's a good thing Mr. Chen didn't come to ask us for help."
"Hurry up and eat," Zhong Mingwei said, while picking up a piece of bamboo shoots for Mei Ya with his chopsticks, and suddenly said, "If Mr. Chen doesn't mention this in the future, you are not allowed to mention it either, understand?"
"I know! I know!" Mei Ya looked impatient and hummed while eating her meal.
Zhong Mingwei looked at the girl's little head and couldn't help curling his lips. He picked up another piece of Dongpo pork with chopsticks and put it into Mei Ya's bowl: "Eat more."
