Remember to Bring Your Brain Along

They had only knelt on the broken porcelain for less than an hour, and Yunxiang couldn't bear it anymore. She cried, her nose running and tears streaming, which disgusted Gu Shiyan.

"In response to Miss, earlier today, Fourth Miss sent someone to give this servant a package and instructed me to mix it into Miss's tea. She even claimed it was Madam's order. This servant didn't dare to disobey!" Once one person confessed, the others quickly followed suit.

Gu Shiyan slowly lifted her eyelids and leaned down, picking up a piece of broken porcelain from the ground. Suddenly, her eyes turned fierce as she pressed it against Yunxiang's neck. "Do you remember who you belong to?"

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

Yunxiang trembled in fear and stammered, "This servant, this servant is Miss's person until death. This servant will never dare again!"

Even Chaxiang and the others were terrified.

Only when the blood stained on Gu Shiyan's hand, did she slowly release Yunxiang.

Yunxiang immediately fainted.

Gu Shiyan lowered her eyes slightly, an intoxicated look on her face as she gazed at the bloodstains on the piece of porcelain. She stuck out her tongue and tasted a bit. "It's so fragrant! I love the taste of blood the most."

Seeing her like this, Chaxiang and the others were on the verge of wetting themselves in fear.

"Miss, we know we were wrong, truly know we were wrong. We are all Miss's people. From now on, we will only listen to Miss's orders... "

Gu Shiyan picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the bloodstains off the piece of porcelain. She glanced at them coldly and said, "From now on, when Mother and Gu Yunshang have any instructions, you should comply. You know what to do in other situations."

"Now, get out!" She slowly released her fingers, and the blood-stained handkerchief fluttered to the ground.

"Yes, yes..." Chaxiang and the others dragged Yunxiang away, crawling and scrambling.

Afternoon.

Gu Shiyan just opened her eyes when Gu Yunshang entered with a bowl of soup.

"Sister, Mother said that today's incident frightened you as well, so she specially had me bring you a bowl of Blood Swallow Soup." She looked at Gu Shiyan with a loving gaze, as if nothing had happened.

Gu Shiyan almost vomited in her face. She lazily leaned on the couch, looking at Gu Yunshang with a half-smile. "If I remember correctly, your name is not in the family genealogy. Do you deserve to call me sister? You're really good at flattering yourself."

Her words hit Gu Yunshang's sore spot.

A glint flashed in Gu Yunshang's eyes, and the malice in her eyes was about to overflow. "As long as Father and Mother still recognize me, I am your sister. Even our brothers call me Fourth Sister. It's evident that they acknowledge me."

She took a few steps forward, opened the lid of the soup bowl, and handed it to Gu Shiyan. "Sister, please eat while it's hot!"

Gu Shiyan's gaze fell on the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup.

There didn't seem to be any problem with this bowl.

Her gaze swept over Gu Yunshang's face, and she clearly caught the hint of calculation in her eyes.

"You're quite skilled at serving others, aren't you? Remember to maintain this good habit in the future." Gu Shiyan praised her with a glance and reached out to take the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup.

Gu Yunshang suppressed the anger in her eyes and secretly cursed her as a fool.

She maintained a gentle smile on her face and kindly reminded Gu Shiyan, "Be careful, sister. The soup is a bit hot."

Gu Shiyan smiled without saying a word.

As she saw Gu Yunshang about to hand over the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup, the corner of her mouth curved up, and the hand she had extended suddenly retracted.

"Ah..." Suddenly, Gu Yunshang raised her hand and threw the scalding Blood Swallow Soup all over herself. Gu Shiyan hadn't touched the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup from beginning to end.

"Fourth Miss, are you okay?" The maids and servants in the room rushed over.

Gu Yunshang deliberately exposed her scalded arm, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Gu Shiyan. "Sister, I kindly brought you the Blood Swallow Soup, how could you treat me like this?"

"How did I treat you? Did I touch that bowl of Blood Swallow Soup? No, I didn't! Clearly, you were jealous that Mother gave me the Blood Swallow Soup and not you, so you intentionally knocked over the bowl. Now you want to blame me?" Gu Shiyan sneered at her.

Tears streamed down Gu Yunshang's face as she pointed at her and said, "You're talking nonsense! I didn't do it. You intentionally withdrew your hand, and I accidentally knocked over the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup."

"Oh! You just admitted it. You accidentally knocked over the bowl of Blood Swallow Soup. What does it have to do with me?" Gu Shiyan shrugged innocently, appearing harmless.

"You..." Gu Yunshang choked, her face turning red.

What a cunning little bitch! She actually fell for her trick.

Gu Shiyan approached a few steps closer, gently caressing Gu Yunshang's face. Her sharp fingertips roamed freely on her face as she lowered her voice and said, "Your methods are too crude. Next time, when you appear before me, remember to bring your brain along, or it won't be fun."

"You, you... I will tell Mother and the three brothers. They won't let you get away with this." Gu Yunshang was captivated by her gaze, and she turned around and left in a disheveled state.

As soon as she left, Gu Shiyan, along with Yunxiang and Chaxiang, left the house.

She was going out to make money.

The streets were bustling with people, and as Gu Shiyan listened, she suddenly felt a sense of detachment from the world. She lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced outside.

"Honk, honk..." At that moment, a carriage came crashing towards the carriage she was riding in.

Gu Shiyan's eyes turned ice-cold in an instant. Which rebel wanted to harm her again?
