Chapter 306 Important Matters to Discuss
Ye Ling'er was a little confused and looked at Mei Cheng'an who was laughing.
"What are you laughing at? There's nothing funny about this."
Mei Chengan laughed and waved his hand, then turned around and went back to his seat.
Ye Ling'er glanced at his back twice, then looked at Fan Xian.
"What is he laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
Seeing that she asked the question so seriously, it was obvious that she really didn't understand. Fan Xian's face turned even darker. His unintentional words were even more heartbreaking!
If someone stabs him and he asks him seriously why he is bleeding, what's the difference between this and stabbing him again?
If he really explained, what would be the difference between him and a big innocent person?
Of course, fellow villagers who gloat over other people’s misfortunes are not good people either.
Picking up the brush and dipping it in the sauce, Fan Xian lowered his head to brush the skewers.
"I don't know, maybe he has some serious illness."
Mei Cheng'an had very sharp ears. Although Fan Xian's voice was not loud, he still heard it clearly.
However, Mei Chengan did not choose to fight back. After all, he laughed at him a little too loudly just now, so he would not bother with him this time.
"Serious illness?"
Ye Ling'er was stunned when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Mei Cheng'an, then turned back and moved closer to Fan Xian and spoke in a low voice.
"It doesn't look like that. What disease? That's not right. Isn't he a skilled doctor? He was the one who cured Wan'er's disease. Can a doctor get a serious illness?"
Mei Cheng'an was happily cutting meat. He was so shocked when he heard this that he almost cut his finger. He looked up at Ye Ling'er in surprise.
Girl, are you serious?
Hearing this, Fan Xian paused in his action of brushing the sauce. He raised his head stiffly and looked at Ye Ling'er as if she were a fool, feeling extremely speechless.
Not buddy.
Can't you hear that I'm joking and cursing?
What is the inevitable connection between whether or not you get a serious illness and whether or not you have a skilled doctor?
Haven’t you heard the saying that a doctor should not treat himself?
and also.
I also contributed to Wan'er's illness, so how can I say that he cured her?
Am I not a human being?
Don't I deserve a name?
Am I not worthy of your address as a skilled doctor?
……
Ye Ling'er blinked.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is this disease hard to describe? You don't know that, do you? Or did you make it up? I'm telling you, he's such a good doctor, how could he get sick?"
Mei Cheng'an silently gave Ye Ling'er a thumbs up from behind.
Just because of what you said, I would be the first one to disagree if anyone says you are stupid!
"..."
Fan Xian narrowed his eyes and looked at the congming man in front of him, feeling even more speechless!
You hurt me just by pretending to be stupid before, and now you are taking the upper hand with your clever IQ, right?
Don’t repeat your divine logic anymore!
"Hey, turn it over. What are you standing there for? It's burnt."
Mei Cheng'an inserted the knife on the chopping board, held the handle with his hand, and raised the corner of his mouth to remind Fan Xian.
Fan Xian subconsciously looked down, and immediately had no time to mutter to himself, so he hurriedly began to operate.
Ye Ling'er looked at the confused Fan Xian as if he were a fool, shook her head, and sat back in her seat.
Mei Cheng'an and Ye Ling'er looked at each other, glanced at Fan Xian, then pointed at his head and spread his hands.
Ye Ling'er understood and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Mei Cheng'an smiled. He had finished processing the meat, so he turned his head to look at his wife and walked over.
Because the barbecue smoke is quite strong, Li Roujia and Lin Wan'er wash the vegetables relatively far away.
It was just relative. In reality, Mei Cheng'an only took three or two steps to reach that point. Looking at his wife who was busy picking vegetables, he spoke gently.
"How is it? Is there still much difference?"
When Li Roujia heard his voice, she immediately stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and her mouth pursed.
“Not much, but my hand hurts.”
Mei Chengan walked up to her with a smile, squatted down, grabbed her hand and took a look. The tips of several of her fingers were stained black, and there were shredded vegetables in the gaps between her nails.
He rubbed it gently with his hands, then blew on it, smiled and looked up at his wife's pretty face.
"Does it still hurt?"
Li Roujia's face turned red. Her cousin was still beside her, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment. She blinked her big eyes and spoke in a soft voice.
"pain!"
Compared to her inner shyness, Li Roujia felt that it was more important to play the victim at this moment. It wouldn't be shameful to be lazy for a while.
Lin Wan'er, who was sitting next to her, rolled her eyes when she heard that. She was enjoying chopping meat with the knife, but her hands hurt from picking vegetables?
Mei Cheng'an naturally knew that she was pretending to be in pain, but who could blame her for pretending to be so cute? He smiled and said softly.
"Then let me do it. You take a rest."
Li Roujia perked up when she heard that. She handed a handful of dishes to him and said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng'an!"
After saying that, she kissed him on the face and then quickly stood up.
Lin Wan'er on the side rolled her eyes almost to the sky.
Mei Chengan stood up and rubbed her head lovingly.
"The skewers over there are almost done. Go and have a taste for me to see if they taste good."
Li Roujia sniffed and her eyes lit up when she heard that.
"It smells so good. I'm going."
Mei Chengan pinched her face.
"Go ahead, little greedy cat."
Li Roujia pushed Mei Chengan's hand away and said coquettishly.
"Oops, you just touched my hand, it's dirty."
After that, she quickly ran to the barbecue area.
"Wuhu~Here I come, hahahaha."
Mei Cheng'an looked at her cheerful back, smiled and shook his head, then moved and sat down on her small stool.
Mei Chengan said softly after glancing at Lin Wan'er beside him.
"I'll just take care of this, Princess, go and have a rest."
Lin Wan'er shook her head slightly.
"No, I'm not tired. Since I've accepted this mission, there's no reason to give up halfway. Let's do it together."
Mei Cheng'an nodded, said no more, and lowered his head to pick vegetables.
In his previous life, he helped pick vegetables at home a lot, so this job was not difficult at all for Mei Chengan, and he was very efficient.
After a moment of silence, Lin Wan'er suddenly spoke up. "This incident in the court against Fan Xian was caused by my mother... Was it the work of the eldest princess?"
Mei Cheng'an paused what he was doing when he heard that and looked up at her.
"Why don't you ask Fan Xian?"
Lin Wan'er glanced at Fan Xian from a distance and said softly.
"I asked him, but he didn't say yes or no, he just told me not to worry."
Mei Cheng'an continued picking vegetables with a gloomy look.
"If he doesn't say anything, it doesn't matter. Just listen to him."
Lin Wan'er was silent for a moment.
"It seems like it was really her. Will this matter... cause any serious consequences to Fan Xian? I naturally believe him, but those people..."
Mei Cheng'an thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Although it seems that the situation is extremely unfavorable to Fan Xian, in fact, those who reported him could not produce any decent evidence.
This ensures that at least on the surface he will not be punished or harassed in any way, so you can rest assured."
Lin Wan'er thought about it, breathed a sigh of relief, and then her expression changed.
"Then in private..."
Mei Chengan smiled.
"Since it is private, it depends on what His Majesty thinks about the matter. No one knows this except His Majesty himself."
Lin Wan'er nodded thoughtfully and said no more.
With Mei Cheng'an's help, the progress here accelerated sharply. In addition, there were not many left, so they quickly finished dealing with everything that needed to be dealt with.
After moving the washed vegetables to the barbecue area, Mei Chengan returned to his old job and started cutting tofu skin.
Lin Wan'er and Ye Ling'er started to wrap the vegetables with the cut bean curd and then skewer them.
Mei Cheng'an cut the bean curd skin very quickly. After cutting, he put down the knife and joined the team of skewering vegetables.
As for Li Roujia, she was not willing to pick vegetables, but stringing vegetables together looked much more fun than picking them, so she wanted to do it but was rejected.
And she was not rejected by just one person, but by the three people who were skewering the food in unison, because she did not wash her hands.
Li Roujia was sad for only second, then she continued to eat the skewers happily. Working was not as delicious as eating skewers.
Of course, she is not a selfish person. She holds the skewers of meat and moves back and forth around the three people like a hardworking little bee, feeding them.
The one on the left hand belongs to Mei Chengan and herself, and the one on the right hand belongs to her two good sisters and herself. She doesn't dislike either side.
By the time all the vegetable skewers were finished, the meat skewers were almost gone.
There were less than ten skewers of beef left, and the girls said they didn't want to eat anymore, saving their stomachs for the vegetable skewers. Then they went to sit in a pavilion nearby and talk.
Mei Cheng'an and Fan Xian stood beside the barbecue grill, taking a sip of iced sour plum soup and a bite of meat, and then cleaned up the remaining skewers.
Vegetable skewers are much easier to grill than large beef skewers. After the two of them finished eating and drinking, they started grilling together and soon a batch of vegetable skewers were ready.
After putting the food on a plate and serving it to the girls, the two of them went back to continue grilling.
The girls didn't eat the first batch of skewers very quickly, so the two of them were not in a hurry to grill the second batch and just showed off while grilling.
Mei Cheng'an squinted his eyes as he picked up a bunch of perfectly roasted bean curd rolls and leeks.
Fan Xian drank a sip of sour plum soup and glanced at him.
"Is it that delicious?"
Mei Chengan picked up the sour plum soup and chewed it while shaking his head.
"That's natural."
“Did I bake it?”
"Shit, of course I baked it myself."
"Cut~"
Mei Cheng'an gulped down the remaining sour plum soup in the cup, put the cup down and flipped through the skewers of vegetables on the stove, then spoke.
"Your Wan'er was a little worried about your condition. She asked me a lot of questions while I was washing the vegetables just now."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, put down the skewer of vegetables that was about to reach his mouth, glanced at the pavilion, and asked.
"What did you ask?"
Mei Chengan shrugged.
"It's about the officials who reported you. She might be worried that gossip would have a major impact on you."
Fan Xian looked at the pavilion again and sighed.
"Wan'er asked me before. She guessed that this was the eldest princess's trick. I didn't tell her in detail because I didn't want to make her feel bad or worry. I didn't expect her to ask you again. Sigh."
Mei Chengan smiled.
"I'm worried about you. That's not normal."
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
"How did you answer her?"
Mei Cheng'an didn't answer in a hurry. He turned the skewers over, observed them for a few seconds, then put them on a plate and handed them to Fan Xian.
"I just analyzed it for her."
Fan Xian took the tray and asked curiously.
"What did you analyze with her?"
Mei Cheng'an nodded his chin towards the pavilion.
"No hurry, go serve the food first, it will get cold later."
"..."
Fan Xian looked at him speechlessly.
"Please help me keep an eye on the skewers here."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the pavilion.
Glancing at the few skewers left on the table, Fan Xian quickly put the skewers on the tray down and looked at the girls and spoke.
"Sorry, it's a little late. Eat it while it's hot."
After saying that, he was about to turn around and go back to the barbecue area.
Lin Wan'er's maid Xiaoxi suddenly walked quickly into the pavilion.
"Miss, the Prime Minister sent someone to ask Master Fan to go to the Prime Minister's residence immediately. He said there is something important to discuss."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at Fan Xian. When Fan Xian came to his senses, he subconsciously looked at Mei Chengan.
Mei Chengan smiled.
"It seems you don't need to listen to my analysis."
