Chapter 739: Shu Yu's Heat Pack
As Shu Yu's words fell, everyone turned their gaze towards her.
Shu Yu smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think this thing isn't significant enough?"
"It's more than significant enough," Zhao Xi took a deep breath and immediately said, "You're not originally from the Shu family, just an unfavored adopted daughter. Offering this heat pack will earn you merit. Not to mention you, even a criminal guilty of a serious crime can be released."
He turned his head and looked at Meng Yunzheng, asking, "Right?"
At this moment, Meng Yunzheng's eyes carried a sense of pride when he looked at Shu Yu. He felt as if she was emitting a dazzling light.
Such a girl, so outstanding and intelligent, who wouldn't like her?
He nodded slowly and replied, "Yes, since this thing doesn't require much cost, it can be mass-produced. The heat pack's uses... will be extensive, benefiting countless people. It's not inferior to Yao Tianqin's agricultural tools."
The old lady clapped her hands happily. "So, with this heat pack, our Ah Yu can be released without guilt, and she can leave this Linzhang Prefecture?"
Meng Yunzheng withdrew his gaze from Shu Yu and said with certainty, "Yes."
"That's great." The old lady took Shu Yu's hand. "Then let's quickly hand over this thing... but to whom?"
Shu Yu looked at Meng Yunzheng and asked, "Who do you think it's better to give it to, you or Mr. Qi?"
She actually leaned more towards giving it to Qi Chan.
However, the old lady said, "Of course, we should give it to Young Master Meng. He is one of us, and if he has connections, let him deliver it. By the way, he knows Lord Xiang, who is a good official and won't take credit away from us. As for Mr. Qi, I've never met him. Although you've met him a few times, you're not very familiar. For such an important matter, it's better to entrust it to someone we know."
Meng Yunzheng listened to her repeatedly referring to him as "one of us" and couldn't help but feel a little inflated.
He coughed lightly, suppressing his emotions, and said in a low voice, "Let's give it to Mr. Qi."
The old lady looked at him in surprise, but as a rural old lady, she was indeed unfamiliar with the intricacies of the officialdom. Judging whether someone was good or trustworthy, one would naturally turn to someone they knew and had a relationship with.
Since Young Master Meng said to give it to Mr. Qi, then... let it be.
This matter was of utmost importance to Ah Yu's lifelong prospects, so it would be better to let someone knowledgeable handle it.
The old lady didn't stay long and soon left with the small jar, accompanied by the two children.
Once they left, Zhao Xi couldn't wait to ask, "Why give it to Mr. Qi? Ah Yun, if you give this heat pack to the Fifth Prince, it can also ensure Ah Yu's release. Moreover, as you said, this thing benefits the country and the people. If it's handed over by the Fifth Prince, he can also gain credit."
Meng Yunzheng sat down on a chair and raised his eyes to ask him, "Then tell me, in the future, where do you think this heat pack will be most useful? Among the common people? In the palace? Or..."
"It's the military," Shu Yu interjected. "Actually this heat pack, from the beginning, I thought it was most suitable for use by the military. Whether it's for reconnaissance missions or guarding remote areas, especially in the cold regions of the north, there are times when it's not convenient to have a warm meal. That's where this heat pack can be used."
This thing wasn't a weapon, but it could improve the lives of those soldiers who defend the country. That's why Shu Yu decided to bring it out and hand it over.
