Chapter 739 Shu Yu's Heating Pack

Before Shu Yu could finish speaking, everyone turned to look at her.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "What's wrong? Do you think this isn't heavy enough?"

“Enough, of course it’s enough.” Zhao Xi took a deep breath and said immediately, “You’re not actually a member of the Shu family, just an unloved adopted daughter. This fever pack will earn you merit as long as you hand it over. Not to mention you, even a criminal who has committed a serious crime could be released.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Meng Yunzheng, "Right?"

Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu with pride, feeling as if Shu Yu was radiating a dazzling light.

Who wouldn't like a girl like that, such an outstanding and intelligent girl?

He nodded slowly and replied, "Yes, since this thing has little cost, it can be mass-produced. The uses of the heating pack... will be very wide, and countless people will benefit from it. It's comparable to Yao Tianqin's farm tools."

The old lady clapped her hands excitedly, "So, with this fever pack, our Ayu can be released without charge and leave this Linzhang mansion?"

Meng Yunzheng turned his gaze away from Shu Yu and said with certainty, "Yes."

"That's wonderful." The old lady took Shu Yu's hand. "Then let's hurry up and hand this over... But, to whom should we give it?"

Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng, "Do you think it's better to give it to you or to Mr. Qi?"

She actually preferred to give it to Qi Chan.

The old lady said, "Of course it should be given to Young Master Meng. He's one of us. If he has connections, let him hand it over. By the way, doesn't he know Lord Xiang? Lord Xiang is a good official and wouldn't take credit for our work. As for that Mr. Qi, I've never even met him. Although you've met him a few times, you're not very familiar with him. It's more appropriate to entrust such an important matter to someone we know."

Hearing her repeatedly refer to them as "our people," Meng Yunzheng's pride began to swell.

He coughed lightly, suppressing his emotions, and said in a low voice, "Let's leave it to Mr. Qi."

The old woman looked at him with surprise, but as a countrywoman, she was indeed unfamiliar with the intricacies of officialdom. To judge whether someone was good or not, whether they could be trusted, she would definitely go to someone she knew and had a good relationship with.

Since Young Master Meng has said to give it to Mr. Qi, then... let's give it to him.

This matter concerns Ayu's entire life, so let those who know better discuss it.

The old lady didn't stay long; she quickly took the medicine pot and left with the two children.

As soon as they left, Zhao Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Why did you give it to Mr. Qi? A-Yun, if you had given this fever pack to the Fifth Prince, A-Yu could have been released without charge. Besides, you said it yourself, this thing is beneficial to the country and the people. If the Fifth Prince had handed it over, he could have earned some merit."

Meng Yunzheng sat down in the chair, looked up at him and asked, "Then tell me, if these fever packs are handed over, where will they be used the most in the future? In the common people? In the palace? Or..."

“It’s the military,” Shu Yu said. “Actually, I thought from the beginning that this heating pack would be most suitable for soldiers. Whether they are out on reconnaissance or guarding remote places, especially in the cold north, it is sometimes inconvenient for them to eat hot food. This heating pack can be used.”

This thing isn't a weapon, but it can improve the lives of soldiers who defend their country, so Shu Yu decided to get it out and hand it over.
