Chapter 303: Chapter 262: Riding the Momentum (Part 3)

When Marchioness Cheng’an hurried over, the courtyard next door had already been consumed by fiery serpents.

Desperately, she looked at the fire dragon before her and asked the servant beside her, "What about Second Young Master? Has he come out?"

"No." The servant beside her replied tremblingly.

Zhou Wangshu appeared, took a bucket brought by the servant and poured it over himself, immediately giving himself a thorough dousing. Then, he grabbed a soaked quilt, covered himself with it, and charged into the sea of fire.

"Oh my god, Mr. Zhou actually ran in to save the Second Young Master! With such a big fire, anyone would be scared. He risked his own life to save the Second Young Master. That’s truly heroic."

"Mr. Zhou is really loyal and righteous. Compared to that Second Young Master who only indulges in debauchery and causes trouble, having someone like Mr. Zhou, a legitimate eldest son, in Cheng’an Hou Mansion is truly a blessing."

Su Yaoguang said worriedly, "That fool, with such a big fire, how dare he?"

Even Marchioness Cheng’an did not expect Zhou Wangshu to rush into the fire sea to save someone. With such a big fire, even if she threatened the servants, they wouldn’t dare to rush in. Yet, he went in.

So many people witnessed his heroic moment of saving his younger brother.

The worse Xia Zhen’s reputation was, the better it was now for him.

"They’ve come out, they’ve come out..." Someone pointed towards the direction of the fire sea, watching a person carrying another, with a quilt covering that person, rushing out like that.

Su Yaoguang went to meet them.

Zhou Wangshu emerged with Xia Zhen on his back, and Xia Zhen now looked like a black char. The fire had turned his clothes to ashes and burnt him into charcoal.

"Oh my god! Is he still alive?" Someone, upon seeing Xia Zhen’s current state, stepped back in shock.

"What on earth happened?" Marquis Cheng’an was drinking with his colleagues, trying to seize this opportunity to win favor and latch onto the coattails of in-law Su Rende.

However, just as the wine had been served and they hadn’t drunk a few cups, they heard someone shouting about a fire.

Seeing the fiery serpents in mid-air, they knew this was no small matter and hurried over here.

Someone whispered a few words in Marquis Cheng’an’s ear.

When Marquis Cheng’an learned that the fire was caused by an adulterous couple, with the man being a son-in-law of Prime Minister Wang’s Mansion and the woman being the Second Madam recently favored by Duke Zhen Country Mansion, upon hearing their identities, he immediately felt the urge to swear.

Although the adulterous affair of that couple in his territory had nothing to do with him and was not something he intentionally arranged, the loss of face at Jing’an Marquis Mansion and Prime Minister Wang’s Mansion on his turf would also lead to him being blamed.

"Marquis, Marquis, please take a look at our Zhen’er. He’s been burnt to such a state, who knows if he can survive." Marchioness Cheng’an cried, pleading as she saw Marquis Cheng’an appear.

Xia Zhen was burnt like this, resembling a breathing piece of charcoal. He could even smell the aroma of meat emanating from his own body.

"My husband was also injured while rescuing someone." Su Yaoguang said, "Indeed, an imperial physician should be summoned. Both the Second Young Master and my husband need treatment from the Imperial Hospital."

"The Chief of the Imperial Hospital is at the banquet today, quickly invite him over." Marquis Cheng’an instructed the servant nearby.

The servant hurriedly invited the Chief of the Imperial Hospital from the banquet table.

The Chief of the Imperial Hospital first examined Xia Zhen’s injuries. After all, his condition looked dire, and if treatment was not timely, it was very likely he couldn’t be saved.

"How is it?" Marchioness Cheng’an asked.

"There aren’t many patches of good skin left on his body. When he was rescued, he was probably already surrounded by flames. The person who saved him was very brave, extinguished the fire on him, and brought him out. In his condition, we can only take it one step at a time. I cannot guarantee he will wake up. But at least he’s not dead now; whether he will live tomorrow depends on his will."

"No matter what, please do your best. As long as he survives, our Cheng’an Hou Mansion will support him for a lifetime. Alas, this child has never been worry-free since childhood, but he’s still my son. What father doesn’t love his child? Seeing him like this now makes me very sad."

"Imperial Physician, please take a look at my husband. When he rushed in to save someone, the fire was already severe. Even though he poured water on himself, it was very dangerous." Su Yaoguang said to the Imperial Physician.

The Imperial Physician quickly took Zhou Wangshu’s pulse, examined his body, and said, "Mr. Zhou does indeed have burns of varying degrees. I’ll prescribe him some medicine. If he applies it daily, he’ll recover faster, but burns of this degree might leave scars. Mr. Zhou needs to be mentally prepared."
