Displaying One's Inadequacy

Gu Shiyan glanced casually. In her mind, she thought, hmm, if these shabby little creatures were plucked, roasted over a fire, and sprinkled with some chili, I wonder how they would taste?! Would they be delicious?

The crowd continued to discuss. "Today is the day of the Old Madam's funeral, but so many crows have appeared. Could there be some sort of omen?"

"Crows have always been ominous creatures throughout history, and now they're filling the sky. There's no doubt that this is a bad omen," said one of the elders in the clan with a solemn expression.

"Oh no! What should we do?" Madam Wei was truly frightened by the crows.

Gu Jingwen's face darkened, and he immediately ordered the servants in the mansion to drive away the crows. The servants quickly fetched long bamboo poles to scare away the crows.
