"Little Aunt, what is this chocolate made of? The taste is so special… it's really delicious… Mmm! It’s truly delicious!"
Huangfu Ying suddenly showed an excited expression, exclaiming with a look of enchantment.
She had already torn open the wrapper and was eating the chocolate, captivated by its flavor.
"This chocolate is really delicious! How can there be something so delicious in the world! It's better than all the sweets I've ever eaten!" Huangfu Ling also exclaimed excitedly, conquered by the chocolate in her mouth.
Huangfu Xuan and Huangfu Jing, the siblings, were also mesmerized by the taste of the chocolate, praising it with delight.
"I don't know what this chocolate is made of either," Huangfu Yue smiled at her nephews and nieces.
She actually knew how chocolate was made, having visited a chocolate factory, but explaining it would be too troublesome. Moreover, these children were too young to understand fully. Therefore, it was better to say she didn't know.
"Grandmother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you should also tear open the chocolate wrapper and taste it. You will like it," Huangfu Yue said as she saw Imperial Concubine Zheng and Yang Wanqian had not yet opened their chocolates.
"Yue'er, you're being unfair. When there's something good to eat, you don't share it with us," Xu Yuqing, who was walking ahead of the carriage, suddenly turned her head and called out to Huangfu Yue.
They had overheard the conversation about the chocolate.
Zhong Liangshu also turned to look at Huangfu Yue, but Zhu Jiayi did not look back at her sister-in-law, continuing to look forward and follow the people in front.
"Second Sister-in-law, what's the rush? If there's something delicious, I won't forget you. I was just about to ask you to have your maid come get some chocolate, but I'm driving the carriage. How can I deliver it to you?" Huangfu Yue replied.
This Second Sister-in-law, in her early twenties, was still so greedy like a child.
The Third Sister-in-law also looked like she wanted to try it.
However, the Eldest Sister-in-law, not turning back, was steady.
"Ying'er, take six chocolates and give two each to my Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, and Third Sister-in-law," Huangfu Yue said to Ying'er, who had become her maid and was quietly following the carriage.
Ying'er immediately responded, coming to Huangfu Yue's side. Huangfu Yue gave her six chocolates, and Ying'er promptly took them to Zhu Jiayi, Xu Yuqing, and Zhong Liangshu who were ahead.
Upon receiving the chocolates, Zhu Jiayi immediately turned and thanked Huangfu Yue.
Xu Yuqing and Zhong Liangshu exchanged a glance before also thanking Huangfu Yue.
Earlier, Xu Yuqing had heard the children raving about how delicious the chocolate was and had been eager to try it. So, she immediately tore open the wrapper and began eating.
"It's so delicious! The taste of this chocolate is truly wonderful!" Xu Yuqing exclaimed with a look of bliss.
Seeing this, Zhong Liangshu's anticipation for the chocolate's flavor grew. She also began eating, and her expression immediately became enraptured as she praised the chocolate.
Zhu Jiayi became curious about the taste and sampled the chocolate, soon developing a fondness for its flavor, just like her sisters-in-law.
"Grandmother, Fourth Sister, this chocolate is truly very delicious and wonderful, indescribably good. Please have one quickly," Zhu Jiayi said to Imperial Concubine Zheng and Yang Wanqian, noticing they hadn't eaten theirs yet.
Imperial Concubine Zheng nodded, tore open the wrapper, and put the chocolate into her mouth.
Yang Wanqian thought that since everyone else who received chocolate had eaten it, it would be impolite for her not to. She decided to eat the chocolate given by Huangfu Yue, despite her apprehension.
Few women would dislike chocolate. After tasting it, both Imperial Concubine Zheng and Yang Wanqian instantly fell in love with the flavor, unable to refrain from praising it.
Yang Wanqian, who had initially been hesitant to eat the chocolate given by Huangfu Yue, found it so delicious that she couldn't help but tear open her second piece, disregarding Huangfu Yue's fearsome reputation of being "merciless," "brutal," and "terrifying."
"Yue'er, you should have a chocolate too. Don't just give it to us and be reluctant to eat it yourself… Is there no more chocolate? Grandmother still has one left. Take it and eat it."
Imperial Concubine Zheng, seeing her granddaughter hadn't eaten any, offered her the chocolate in her hand.
"Grandmother, you don't need to worry about me. Please keep that chocolate for yourself. I still have chocolate in the box here. I'll eat one now."
Huangfu Yue smiled at Imperial Concubine Zheng, opened the chocolate box, and took out a piece to eat.
Ferrero Rocher chocolates were still so delicious!
Seeing her granddaughter still had chocolate, Imperial Concubine Zheng confidently tore open her second piece. The chocolate was so exquisitely delicious that she couldn't resist wanting another taste.
All of Imperial Concubine Zheng's granddaughters-in-law and great-grandsons also greedily ate their second chocolates. Xu Yuqing was the first to finish hers and called out to Huangfu Yue, still wanting more.
"Yue'er, is there more chocolate? Give me two more," she said, not having had enough.
"I want to eat more chocolate too, Little Aunt. Is there any more chocolate?" Huangfu Ling asked Huangfu Yue with a yearning look.
Huangfu Yue saw that the others, including Imperial Concubine Zheng and Yang Wanqian, were looking at her with anticipation, clearly not having had enough and wanting more chocolate. She nodded.
"There is more chocolate. I'll give it to you now."
The box of chocolates she received from the space contained forty-two pieces. There was still half a box left, enough to give two pieces to each person.
Huangfu Yue immediately gave each family member two more chocolates. The little ones were the happiest upon receiving them again and began eating them with gusto.
Huangfu Yue also tore open another chocolate wrapper and began eating it with relish. She had not yet noticed a completely black crow with blood-red eyes, emanating a sinister aura and a sense of death, following them from above. It looked very dangerous and terrifying.
