Chapter 771 I will recommend you for credit

Qi Chan was clearly reluctant to let her go, and pulled her aside to ask her many questions about the heating pack.

Shu Yu answered all the questions, and Qi Chan was overjoyed to learn that the main ingredient was quicklime, which is made from very common limestone.

This thing is so convenient; it can be mass-produced.

Qi Chan excitedly said to Shu Yu, "You are a meritorious official of the Great Su Dynasty, Miss Lu. Don't worry, if you entrust this to me, I will definitely present it to the Emperor. I will not embezzle your merits. At that time, you will be able to restore your status as a good citizen and will no longer need to do hard labor in the land of exile."

Although what she's doing now isn't exactly manual labor, she still lacks freedom, and not much of the money she earns ends up in her hands.

Shu Yu smiled with satisfaction. See, she didn't even need to use any favors; Mr. Qi had already secured the greatest benefit for her on his own.

She said with feigned modesty, "I didn't think about these things at first. I just thought this thing was very magical and very useful. I thought it would be a waste for me to use it alone, and I wouldn't feel comfortable giving it to others. Only by giving it to Mr. Qi can it be used to its fullest potential, so I came to find you."

Qi Chan laughed heartily, "You're a shrewd and calculating person, a good girl."

"Then I'll leave this fever pack to you, sir. My family is waiting for me to come home, and it's getting late, so I'll head home now."

Qi Chan looked outside and saw that it was indeed late; it was almost dark.

It's all his fault; he got too excited and ended up talking to her for so long.

Qi Chan patted his forehead. "Alright, alright, then you go home first, so your family won't worry. I'll take another look at this fever pack. If there are any problems, I'll come find you again."

"good."

Shu Yu said goodbye, but stopped a few steps after reaching the door.

Then, as if he had just remembered something, he quickly returned.

Turning around, I saw Qi Chan putting the heating pack back into the jar, intending to reheat the bowl of noodles that had gone cold.

Her lips twitched. "Sir."

Qi Chan looked up. "What's wrong?"

"This is a letter that Cheng Dong gave me. He originally wanted me to deliver it to He Tai Prefecture, but I almost forgot to give it to you just now." Shu Yu handed over the letter somewhat embarrassedly.

Qi Chan, “…” It wasn’t just her who forgot; she herself had completely forgotten about such an important matter.

That was a real blunder; he got carried away as soon as he saw the heating pack.

Qi Chan quickly took the letter. "Let me see."

Shu Yu: "Sir, I have opened and read this letter. Well, I didn't mean to. I wasn't sure if Cheng Dong was good or bad, or whether I should help him deliver this letter, so I just took it upon myself to open it."

Well, it was an accident, so Mr. Qi, who just got a fever, shouldn't blame her, right?

Shu Yu deliberately took out the heating pack before handing the letter to him.

The letter already had marks after it was opened, so redoing it wouldn't be appropriate. If Mr. Qi and Lord Cheng found out about the envelope, they might suspect she was hiding something. It would be better to tell the truth, since she had her reasons anyway.

Qi Chan didn't blame her after all. "Alright, given the circumstances, opening the letter was a last resort. But remember, whatever it says, you must keep it to yourself and not tell anyone. No, you'd better forget it, otherwise it won't do you any good, understand?"
