Chu Shengrui continued, "However, considering Doctor Zhuang saved your life, it wouldn't be quite right for me not to reward him at all. I have already prepared a list of rewards, mostly medicinal herbs and items related to medical skills, which I think Doctor Zhuang would appreciate."

"Since you just mentioned that you have a close relationship with Doctor Zhuang, you can arrange for someone to deliver these items to him."
