Chapter 27 Who gave you the guts?
"But here?"
Previously, Madam Ji was worried about Gu Yingxue, but given the current situation, she is more worried about Gu Shuyan.
If Gu Yingxue falls into the water, at worst she'll just see a doctor, but if Gu Shuyan accidentally offends the Crown Prince, the consequences could be disastrous.
Seeing that Madam Ji was unwilling to leave, Gu Shuyan quickly looked at Wu Ma, knowing that Wu Ma was more intelligent than Madam Ji.
As expected, when Wu Ma met Gu Shuyan's gaze, she quickly whispered something in Ji Shi's ear, and Ji Shi obediently followed Wu Ma away.
With no worries left, Gu Shuyan returned to the middle of the courtyard and waited quietly for the maid to return.
A short while later, the maids came in from outside carrying a basin, a bucket, and a cage.
Inside the cage, a rabbit was hopping around, looking quite adorable.
"What does Miss Gu mean by bringing a rabbit? Does she want us to see it?"
A mocking voice rang out, and Gu Shuyan coldly glanced at the person's face upon hearing it, "This young lady guessed correctly, but the rabbit I'm showing you isn't just any ordinary rabbit!"
Gu Shuyan raised her eyebrows with amusement, a sly glint in her eyes.
She told the maids to retreat, and Gu Shuyan reached out and grabbed the rabbit by its ears.
Just as everyone was wondering what Gu Shuyan was going to do, she gave a wicked smile, grabbed the rabbit, and pushed it into the water.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Gu Shuyan quickly took out the kitchen knife from the bucket, and like a butcher, she did it in one smooth motion.
"Rabbit meat is tender and smooth, especially the meat from the legs, which is the most delicious. However, none of these can compare to the rabbit head, since that contains the most succulent part of the rabbit."
As Gu Shuyan spoke, her hands moved faster and faster, and before everyone's eyes, Gu Shuyan transformed a rabbit into a bowl of rabbit meat. The delicate young ladies who witnessed this scene turned pale with fright.
Some, however, disregarded their image and vomited on the spot.
These young ladies, though accustomed to countless delicacies, had never witnessed a slaughter so directly. Especially with a plate of braised rabbit meat before each of them, the stench of blood wafting through the air made their stomachs churn.
Gu Shuyan was clearly very satisfied with the situation and was about to have the things taken away when she saw the Crown Prince, his face pale, angrily say, "Who gave you the audacity to... to dare to..."
Since the Crown Prince couldn't recall who it was for the moment, he could only turn his gaze to the Third Prince below him.
Upon seeing this, the Third Prince calmly remarked, "They actually slaughtered the rabbit in public."
"Yes, you actually slaughtered a rabbit in public."
The Crown Prince quickly responded, and Gu Shuyan immediately put on an innocent expression.
"Your Highness, didn't you ask me to perform a talent? I may not have any other talents, but I can kill chickens, fish, and rabbits! Oh, and I can also kill ducks."
Gu Shuyan's words only made things worse; those who hadn't already vomited started throwing up. Seeing how easily they crumbled, Gu Shuyan thought, "I really should have made an example of them; after all, it's a warning to others!"
“Miss Gu, you are too cruel. How could you bring yourself to kill such a cute rabbit and even frighten His Highness the Crown Prince in front of him?”
Seeing that even the crown prince was starting to vomit, those who could still bear it immediately stood up and criticized him.
After all, if it weren't for Gu Shuyan, they wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state; it was all Gu Shuyan's fault.
