Chapter 434: Chapter 297: The Great Calamity is Gone, Gu Changsheng has Died

Is this the simple meal of coarse tea and light food?

A collective wail of grief echoed in everyone’s hearts at the same time!

“Lady Changsheng, if this is considered coarse tea and light food, then what on earth have we been eating every day? Dog food?” Hu Yihai said with a twitching face, expressing the sentiments of the group.

Such exquisite dishes, such a breakfast complete in color, fragrance, and flavor, had actually become ‘coarse tea and light food’ in Lady Changsheng’s mouth!

This was too much of a blow!

How were they supposed to live?

Gu Changsheng glanced at the dishes in front of him, which were identical to those on Hu Yihai and the others’ table, and spoke earnestly, “This truly is coarse tea and light food…”

Look, the porridge was clearly overcooked, the dishes were not even arranged on a platter, and the pleats of the buns were uneven… It was obvious that Xiao Leizi was in a hurry and had cut corners due to lack of time…

Compared to her usual meals, this breakfast really was a bit crude!

Gu Changsheng felt quite embarrassed about this.

In principle, when entertaining guests, one should strive for perfection and offer the best food, but unfortunately, she only had so many servants; one couldn’t simply split them in two for double use, right? Considering this, making it to this level was already quite good!

“Wuu…” Upon hearing this, Hu Yihai instantly lost all decorum and slumped onto the dining table, hugging a basket of buns, his face the picture of misery.

The reactions of the others, though not expressed in their actions, mirrored Hu Yihai’s expression astonishingly well.

It was too crushing!

Lady Changsheng was truly too unkind!

How were they supposed to live? How?

Seeing their reaction, Gu Changsheng finally realized, damn, her politeness had deeply hurt them, and she couldn’t help but feel even more embarrassed!

She really hadn’t intended to hurt them! She actually thought managing to scrape by with something decent was already quite good! When she saw how pleased they were earlier, she even gave Uncle Song and Dong Lei an approving glance…

“Lady Changsheng, your blunt honesty is truly too hurtful…” Hu Yihai said with a twitching face.

“Comparing oneself with others can really be infuriating! I don’t want to live anymore!”

“Having eaten my fill, I don’t want to live either!”

“…”

Listening to everyone’s words, Gu Changsheng’s face was full of embarrassment…

“Lady Changsheng, does your house still need servants? I would happily sell myself and serve in your house, how’s that?” Elder Xu looked at Gu Changsheng with admiration and asked hesitantly.

“That’s a great idea! Being a servant in Lady Changsheng’s house is simply the luckiest thing in the world, do you still need servants?”

“Same question!”

“Same question!”

“…”

And now it was Gu Changsheng’s turn to have a twitching smile. She looked at Elder Xu, and with a face as bland as the dishes, she said, “Elder Xu, you’re joking, aren’t you?”

Dammit, it wasn’t right to act disrespectfully and stir up the crowd!

She still remembered the time Elder Xu had vanquished a group of doctors with his rhetoric. If Elder Xu really turned that force onto her, she would be unable to withstand it!

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu immediately glared and replied seriously, “Why would I joke? Reaching my age, what else is there to do but eat and wait for death? Eating is a serious matter of utmost importance!”

Faced with his earnestness, Gu Changsheng immediately bowed her head and furiously stuffed a bun into her mouth.

Dammit, she dared not speak; if she said another word, she would provoke their anger! Being attacked by the group would not be pleasant!

Because a group of doctors were present, Mr. Ban Shan, who disliked noise and crowds, did not attend, and little Monk Bu Jie had not come out for food either.

Gu Changsheng thought of little Monk Bu Jie and felt a tremor in her heart.

If it weren’t for little Monk Bu Jie’s intervention last night, like a divine soldier descending from the heavens, perhaps she would have met her end alongside the Futu Demoness!

She had no idea that little Monk Bu Jie possessed such capabilities!

To immobilize a supreme expert like the Futu Demoness! That was simply a divine skill for freezing someone in place!

Gu Changsheng had always known that some people were born with special abilities. For instance, during her time in the special forces, she had encountered people who could see in the dark or were unharmed by fire, but little Monk Bu Jie was even more formidable, actually able to immobilize people!

This divine skill was incredibly heaven-defying! Too much of a bug!

With little Monk Bu Jie by her side, along with her own skills, wouldn’t that make her, Gu Changsheng, an invincible being?

Thinking about this, Gu Changsheng felt particularly cheerful, and her meal became delicious!

…

In Prince Mu’s Mansion, Lansheng Courtyard.

Zhou Mu had not slept all night and was still lost in his fears and desires.

Seeing the hint of dark circles under his master’s eyes, Yuan Bao inwardly wailed.

Lady Changsheng, oh! Your impact is not shallow, truly relentless in destroying others! You’ve left his lordship utterly mesmerized; what is to be done?
