Chapter 739 - Chapter 739 Chapter 739 Shu Yus Heating Pack
Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Shu Yu’s Heating Pack Chapter 739: Chapter 739: Shu Yu’s Heating Pack Shu Yu had hardly finished speaking when everyone turned to look at her in unison.
Shu Yu smiled, “What’s wrong? Do you think this item isn’t significant enough?”
“Of course, it is significant,” Zhao Xi took a deep breath and immediately said, “You were never a Shu family member, just an unfavored adopted daughter of the Shu family. As long as this Heating Pack is presented, it could earn you merit; not to mention you, even actual criminals with serious offenses would be released.”
Having said this, he turned his head toward Meng Yunzheng, “Right?”
At this moment, Meng Yunzheng looked at Shu Yu with a sense of pride in his eyes; he felt as if she radiated a dazzling light.
Such a girl, so outstanding and intelligent–who wouldn’t like her?
He slowly nodded his head and replied, “Yes, given the low cost of this item, it can be manufactured in large quantities. The applications of the Heating Pack… will be broad, and the number of people who will benefit is innumerable, not at all inferior to Yao Tianqin’s farming tools.”
The old lady, delightedly clapping her hands, asked, “Does this mean that with this Heating Pack, our Yu can be exonerated and leave Linzhang Prefecture?”
Meng Yunzheng withdrew his gaze from Shu Yu and confirmed, “Yes.”
“That’s wonderful.” The old lady took Shu Yu’s hand, “Then let’s quickly deliver this item… But, to whom?”
Shu Yu looked toward Meng Yunzheng, “What do you think, is it better to give it to you or to Mister Qi?”
She actually preferred giving it to Qi Chan.
However, the old lady said, “Of course, we give it to Young Master Meng; he’s one of our own. If he has the connections, let him deliver it. He knows Lord Xiang, doesn’t he? Lord Xiang is a good official; he won’t claim our merit for himself. As for Mister Qi, I’ve never even met him. Though you’ve seen him a few times, you’re hardly acquainted with him. For something this important, it’s better to entrust it to someone close to us.”
Meng Yunzheng, hearing her successive references to “one of our own”, couldn’t help but feel somewhat inflated in spirits.
He coughed lightly, suppressing his emotions, and said in a low voice, “Let’s give it to Mister Qi after all.”
The old lady looked at him in surprise, but she, a country old lady, indeed was not familiar with the intricate ways of officialdom. When it came to judging who was good or trustworthy, naturally, she would lean toward those she knew and felt close to.
Since Young Master Meng said to give it to Mister Qi, then… so be it.
