Chapter 104.1 - Day of marriage
At the same time, the Ruan residence wasn’t too peaceful.
Doctors came and went through the residence, one after another, until even the imperial doctors were asked to come by, through Ruan imperial consort.
But it was only a pity that the person that the Ruan family head wanted to heal, wasn’t getting any better.
He couldn’t do anything but go to the Lou residence again.
This time, Lou Qufeng wasn’t there so he was brought by the housekeeper to the main hall.
He sat anxiously and impatiently as the housekeeper poured him a cup of tea.
He drank cup after cup but still didn’t see Ruan Zhen.
Finally, Ruan Xiuren was angry, “Is she at the residence or not?”
Housekeeper Uncle Liu also felt uneasy.
Normally, the second madam would be respectful to the Ruan family’s head, bnutt hese few times, she’d kept him in the cold.
But this was the second madam’s orders so he couldn’t tell him that she was doing this on purpose.
He laughed comfortingly, “Second madam said she’d be here soon, very soon.”
Ruan Xiuren coldly snorted, “A good ‘very soon’, it’s already been an hour. Did she really think of herself as royalty, to be so hard to see?”
If it wasn’t for Ning’er, he wouldn’t have to suffer this type of treatment, something that he hadn’t faced for years.
But thinking of the person who was still in a coma and wasn’t waking up, Ruan Xiuren’s face pulled taut.
He forcefully pressed down on the anger burning inside him and continued to wait because he believed that Ruan Xiuren wasn’t pulling a power trip, but she had something to ask for him.
So she had to see him, not only because of Lou Lianxin’s affair, but because when he gave her the cold shoulder, she was only returning his gesture.
Ruan Xiuren guessed correctly, Ruan Zhen really had to see him.
She’d spent so much time and effort to make Ning Xi’s old sickness act up again, just for today.
So of course she was angry.
Lian’er was in trouble so she went to the Ruan family to beg him, but he actually kicked her out?
How could she take that lying down?
Even if he was the Ruan family’s head, so what?
As long as that woman’s life was held in her hands, Ruan Xiuren would continue to be used by her!
But anger aside, she knew that she couldn’t play it up too much.
After making Ruan Xiuren wait for four hours, Ruan Zhen finally slowly made her way there.
When she reached the door, she weakly pressed the handkerchief to her forehead, “Big brother, you came?”
Ruan Xiuren snorted, “You’re really hard to see.”
Ruan Zhen laughed, “Your little sister was sick so when I heard big brother came, I pushed through with my sickness and came to see you.”
With the help of her maidservant supporting her, she slowly walked to face Ruan XIuren.
The housekeeper Uncle Liu pa.s.sed her a cup of tea and after she sipped it, she pretended to not understand, “Big brother, why did you come? Did … something happen?”
Ruan Zhen’s fake act of pretending not knowing what was happening made the anger in Ruan Xiuren’s heart burn even harder.
But at this time, Ning’er was in trouble so he couldn’t help but personally come to beg her.
He reined in his anger before darkening his face, “Big brother’s ninth madam is sick, I want you to go see her.”
Ruan Zhen pressed her chest and feigned shock, “Big brother, if ninth sister-in-law is sick, you should go see a doctor. Your little sister isn’t a doctor!”
Ruan Xiuren pursed his lips, his coldly handsome face brought a few hints of humiliation and anger, did she really have to force him to say it out loud?

Ning Xi = Ning’er = Ruan Xiuren’s ninth madam
