"Little Aunt, what was that liquid you poured on the bodies of those bad guys? It was so powerful, it dissolved them into water instantly."
Huangfu Xuan, sitting on the sofa inside the carriage, asked Huangfu Yue, who was driving the carriage in front. His face flickered with curiosity and fear.
His several younger sisters also looked at Huangfu Yue's back, awaiting her answer, their little faces also flashing with curiosity and fear.
They were too young and had never heard of corpse dissolving water before, so they didn't know that the liquid Huangfu Yue had just used to turn the bodies into water was the legendary corpse dissolving water. They only felt that corpse dissolving water was terrifying, yet so powerful that it made them very curious and eager to know what it was.
"It's corpse dissolving water," Huangfu Yue replied after a moment of hesitation.
She felt it wasn't good to let young children know about the existence of "corpse dissolving water."
But it was also not good to deceive them by calling it something else, as they had just witnessed her turn the bodies into water with corpse dissolving water.
So, after thinking for a moment, she felt she could only answer truthfully.
Huangfu Xuan and his sisters showed even more frightened expressions, but their fear quickly turned into greater curiosity.
"Corpse dissolving water!? The name corpse dissolving water sounds so terrifying! Little Aunt, corpse dissolving water..."
"Xuan'er, that's enough. Children shouldn't ask too many questions. Be careful not to be annoying and have your Little Aunt dislike you," Concubine Dowager Zheng saw that her great-grandson had a lot of questions for her granddaughter and interrupted the curious great-grandson.
Upon hearing his great-grandmother's words, Huangfu Xuan immediately showed a worried expression and anxiously called out to Huangfu Yue, "Little Aunt, I was wrong, I'm sorry, please don't find me annoying or dislike me."
Huangfu Yue turned to look at her nephew, gently shook her head, and showed a gentle smile, "Don't worry, Little Aunt won't find you annoying, nor will she dislike you."
Seeing Huangfu Xuan's relieved expression, the smile on Huangfu Yue's lips deepened, "Little Aunt really likes you, and Jing'er, Ying'er, and Ling'er, all of you siblings."
She asked her spatial dimension to get a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates from the supermarket and bring it out. Holding the chocolates, she gently shook them towards her nephew and nieces.
"These are chocolates, they are very delicious. If you promise Little Aunt to be good children and listen obediently, I will give them to you, okay?"
Huangfu Xuan and his sisters looked at the beautiful tin box in Huangfu Yue's hand, which they had never seen before. Their eyes lit up, and they thought that although they didn't know what the chocolates Little Aunt mentioned were, they must be very delicious, just as Little Aunt said, since they were in such a beautiful box.
The little ones all nodded, nodding together, and said in unison, "Okay, we will be good children and listen obediently. Please give us chocolates, Little Aunt."
Huangfu Yue smiled, opened the chocolate box, gave each of the little ones two chocolates, and then stretched out her hand to give Concubine Dowager Zheng and Yang Wanqian two chocolates each.
"Grandmother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you should also try the taste of these chocolates. These chocolates are really delicious, and I believe you will like them."
Concubine Dowager Zheng immediately reached out to take the chocolates, while Yang Wanqian hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take them.
Yang Wanqian was always timid. Seeing that Huangfu Yue had killed more than a dozen people in one go and then produced corpse dissolving water to turn all the corpses into water, she was now terrified of Huangfu Yue. She felt that Huangfu Yue was ruthless and cruel, killing without batting an eye, and she was a little afraid to accept things from her.
But she feared that if she didn't accept Huangfu Yue's things, Huangfu Yue would get angry, so after a moment of hesitation, she bravely took the chocolates.
Seeing Yang Wanqian's demeanor, Huangfu Yue knew what she was thinking and slightly raised her delicate eyebrows, a hint of helplessness flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Although it was normal for her Fourth Sister-in-law to be timid and afraid of her after seeing the previous scene, her reaction still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She killed those men in black to save everyone.
Turning the corpses of those men in black into water was also for everyone's good, for fear that if the bodies were not destroyed, the discovery of the bodies by others would cause trouble for them.
Being merciful to enemies is being cruel to oneself.
Although she had always lived by the principles of kindness, generosity, tolerance, and forbearance due to the education she received in the army, she had always been ruthless towards her enemies.
Those men in black were trying to kill them, so they were naturally her enemies, and she had to eliminate them.
Moreover, not killing those men in black would cause considerable trouble, as they would surely come back to cause trouble again, and she would have to kill them again.
"Yue'er, did you find out who those men in black were?"
Concubine Dowager Zheng did not notice the change in her granddaughter's attitude, and now feared her granddaughter, being afraid to interact with her. Concubine Dowager Zheng's mind was entirely on the men in black.
After taking the chocolates, she did not immediately tear open the wrapper to eat them, but instead asked her granddaughter with a worried expression.
Huangfu Yue shook her head, "No. However, I guess they should be the culprits who severely injured the man we met earlier and caused his death. Their objective was the letter from the man called Liu Wu...
They found the deceased Liu Wu, couldn't find the letter on him, and somehow knew that we had contact with Liu Wu before his death. They then assumed the letter was with us and came to demand the letter from us...
But Grandmother, you don't need to worry. Liu Wu is dead, and all those men in black have been killed by me, with the bodies disposed of. No matter who they are or what forces are behind them, they won't be able to trace anything back to us or cause us trouble."
Huangfu Yue knew what Concubine Dowager Zheng was worried about and comforted her softly.
Concubine Dowager Zheng nodded, relieved.
Neither the grandmother nor the granddaughter noticed a jet-black crow flying overhead, following them all along.
