At the same time, the Ruan residence wasnât 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, wasnât getting any better.
He couldnât do anything but go to the Lou residence again.
This time, Lou Qufeng wasnât 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 didnât see Ruan Zhen.
Finally, Ruan Xiuren was angry, âIs she at the residence or not?â
Housekeeper Uncle Liu also felt uneasy.
Normally, the second madam would be respectful to the Ruan familyâs head, bnutt hese few times, sheâd kept him in the cold.
But this was the second madamâs orders so he couldnât tell him that she was doing this on purpose.
He laughed comfortingly, âSecond madam said sheâd be here soon, very soon.â
Ruan Xiuren coldly snorted, âA good âvery soonâ, itâs already been an hour. Did she really think of herself as royalty, to be so hard to see?â
If it wasnât for Ningâer, he wouldnât have to suffer this type of treatment, something that he hadnât faced for years.
But thinking of the person who was still in a coma and wasnât waking up, Ruan Xiurenâs face pulled taut.
He forcefully pressed down on the anger burning inside him and continued to wait because he believed that Ruan Xiuren wasnât pulling a power trip, but she had something to ask for him.
So she had to see him, not only because of Lou Lianxinâs 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.
Sheâd spent so much time and effort to make Ning Xiâs old sickness act up again, just for today.
So of course she was angry.
Lianâer 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 familyâs head, so what?
As long as that womanâs life was held in her hands, Ruan Xiuren would continue to be used by her!
But anger aside, she knew that she couldnât 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, âBig brother, you came?â
Ruan Xiuren snorted, âYouâre really hard to see.â
Ruan Zhen laughed, âYour little sister was sick so when I heard big brother came, I pushed through with my sickness and came to see you.â
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, âBig brother, why did you come? Did ⌠something happen?â
Ruan Zhenâs fake act of pretending not knowing what was happening made the anger in Ruan Xiurenâs heart burn even harder.
But at this time, Ningâer was in trouble so he couldnât help but personally come to beg her.
He reined in his anger before darkening his face, âBig brotherâs ninth madam is sick, I want you to go see her.â
Ruan Zhen pressed her chest and feigned shock, âBig brother, if ninth sister-in-law is sick, you should go see a doctor. Your little sister isnât a doctor!â
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 = Ningâer = Ruan Xiurenâs ninth madam
