Qi Chan was clearly reluctant to let her go and pestered her with many questions about the Heating Pack.
Shu Yu answered each and every one of them. Upon learning that the main material was quicklime, made by calcining the very common limestone, Qi Chan's face lit up with joy.
This invention was truly convenient, capable of being produced in large batches.
Qi Chan said to Shu Yu excitedly, "You are a hero of the Dasu dynasty, Lady Lu. Rest assured, I will present this to His Majesty myself and claim no credit for your accomplishment. Once that is done, you will be able to have your good record restored and need not toil in exile any longer."
Although what she was doing now could not really be considered hard labor, she was still not free, and not much money made it into her hands.
Shu Yu smiled satisfactorily, thinking that without calling in any favors, Mister Qi had already secured the greatest possible benefit for her.
