Chapter 36 36 Fire
"Whether it is true or not, I will find out." Jiang Linlei had doubts in his heart, but could not find any evidence.

"By the way, didn't I say that the Crown Prince is here? Why did you come in again?" Jiang Linlei retracted his thoughts and asked with a frown.

"The Prince's Palace is here, but Lin Ningkun is nowhere to be found. He doesn't know how to behave at such a good opportunity." Jiang Changjun looked impatient.

"That's all. Whether he can be supported or not depends on his personal luck. Let's go out first."

Jiang Ruanxi left the courtyard and went to the room Lin Qingxu had prepared for him. But when he walked through the corridor, he caught a glimpse of a familiar voice.

Hong Ye obviously saw it too, "Madam, isn't that the Marquis? Why is he sneaking around in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion?"

Jiang Ruanxi touched his chin. Lin Ningkun really didn't give up. At this critical moment, even with so many people today, he actually wanted to see Jiang Xuerou.

Looking at that elegant and noble back, Jiang Ruanxi curled her lips, lowered her head and whispered a few times in Hongye's ear.

Hongye became frightened, "Madam, is this bad? What should I do if it catches fire?"

This is the Zhenguo Hou Mansion, not the Lin Family Mansion.

"What are you afraid of? There are so many people in the mansion today. If it burns down, there will be enough people to put out the fire."

After Hongye left, Jiang Ruanxi went to the room to take a nap. After seeing that the time was almost up, he walked out of the yard.

"Where is the Crown Princess?"

Jiang Ruanxi had just gone out when she heard Lin Qingxu's anxious voice, "The adoption ceremony is about to begin. Where has the Crown Princess gone?"

"The Crown Princess just said she went to change clothes, and I will go look for her right away."

"Second sister, don't worry, this is the Zhenguo Marquis' Mansion, what else can go wrong?"

Hearing Jiang Ruanxi's comfort, Lin Qingxu's anxious expression relaxed a little.

"Second sister-in-law, maybe I'm too nervous. It's been hard for the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion to handle a big event for so many years. I just want it to go smoothly."

Jiang Ruanxi smiled, "It will definitely go smoothly."

"Ah, it's on fire..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation from the backyard.

The two followed the sound and saw thick smoke billowing from the backyard.

"Hurry up and put out the fire."

Lin Qingxu hurriedly stepped forward.

Jiang Ruan Xi also followed closely with a sneer on his lips.

The fire also alarmed people in the front yard, and more and more people were watching. Lin Qingxu originally planned to see if the matter could be suppressed, but it seemed that it was no longer possible.

So, she quickly followed the crowd in.

"There are two people inside, please pour water to save them."

Someone in the crowd shouted.

Li Xi, the prince of Zhenguo Mansion, looked a little ugly and looked at the attendants beside him, "This is the imperial concubine's yard, how can there be water leakage?"

Jiang Ruanxi lowered his eyes slightly and saw that the hands of the two Jiang brothers had been clenched into fists. They obviously wanted to rush in, but they stopped looking at such a big fire.

Jiang Ruanxi sneered at the corner of his mouth.

I thought they had deep feelings for Jiang Xuerou, but it turned out that compared with their own lives, they were nothing more than that.

"It seems like someone came out inside."

After a while, a tall figure rushed out from the thick smoke and fire.

"Isn't this Dingninghou?"

Jiang Ruanxi's eyes flashed when he saw this, and he took the bucket in Hongye's hand and poured it directly.

The fire on Lin Ningkun's clothes was extinguished instantly, and the fire behind him was also brought under control. The thick smoke disappeared, and Jiang Ruan Xi could clearly see the person in front of him.

She was soaked all over, her clothes and face were pitch black, and she could smell a faint burning smell.

After the thick smoke dissipated, Jiang Ruanxi discovered that more than half of Lin Ningkun's hair had been burned off, and even several places on his scalp were burnt.

I'm just afraid that after the wound heals, I'll be bald again...

In such a miserable state, how can he still look handsome like Feng Shen?
Jiang Ruanxi blinked, his eyes a little strange.

The only skin filter he had in his previous life was shattered to pieces in an instant.

I didn’t expect that this fire would have such a big harvest.

She wanted to see if Jiang Xuerou would love him so much when she saw him like this?

She was looking forward to what would happen next.

It wouldn't be in vain for her to set up the game for so long.

"Jiang Ruanxi, what on earth are you doing?"

The loud voice, mixed with a bit of anger, brought Jiang Ruan Xi's thoughts back.

She suppressed the disgust in her heart and said innocently, "Master Hou, I didn't expect it to be you. The person who came out was on fire. In order not to harm innocent people, I poured cold water on it out of desperation."

As if remembering something, Jiang Ruanxi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Master Marquis, this is the imperial concubine's courtyard. Why are you in there? And this room is on fire?"

Hearing this, Lin Ningkun's heart trembled. Seeing so many people, he quickly explained, "I just passed by here and found it was on fire. I thought there was someone inside. I was afraid of causing death, so I went in to save people regardless of my own safety."

If the previous generation hadn't seen his hypocrisy clearly, Jiang Ruan Xi would really believe his words.

Jiang Ruanxi felt so sick that she wanted to vomit.

"I didn't expect Marquis Dingning to be such a caring person. Is it really rare these days?"

"Yes. Lord Dingning has always been upright and upright, sacrificing himself to save others. Not everyone has this quality."

"..."

There were all kinds of compliments for Lin Ningkun.

Lin Ningkun was so praised that he no longer felt any pain from the burning pain in his body.

But how could Jiang Ruan Xi let him get his wish?

"This is the imperial concubine's courtyard. Did the Marquis see the imperial concubine in there?"

Jiang Ruan Xi's words made the person who praised Lin Ningkun react and change his subject.

"It is true that Lord Dingning saved people, but there are differences between men and women. It must be bad for him to go in so rashly, right?"

Many people agreed.

Soon, the people who had praised him just now were accusing him and beating him up. The feeling of disparity made Lin Ningkun glare at Jiang Ruanxi fiercely.

He turned to look at the people discussing with an angry look on his face.

"At this critical moment when human life is at stake, I don't think that much. Is it possible that in your hearts, human life is more important than reputation?"

Originally, Lin Ningkun had a handsome appearance, and the woman would usually be very kind to him, but now his hair was burned by fire and his face was pitch black, making him look extremely ferocious.

Naturally, everyone no longer tolerates him.

"I don't agree with this. A tree has its own skin, and a human has its face. Lord Dingning, you clearly know that you are different from the Crown Princess of Zhenguo Mansion, but you still insist on going in to save her, you know. People think you are caring, but people who don't know think you are having an affair. After all, the Crown Princess is now a widow."
