In front of the seventeenth prince, Xia Boran was so speechless that he could endure even being assigned such an idle official position.
It was precisely because Xia Boran knew that he was not completely desperate with the Seventeenth Prince.
As long as Mrs. Ru is there and waits until the right time, Mrs. Ru can say one or two kind words to him, which will be more useful than a few things he can do.
However, Xia Boran didn't want to use Mrs. Ru's chess piece so early unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, Xia Boran also discovered that after Mrs. Ru gained favor, she forgot who her benefactor was.
For this reason, Xia Boran also wanted to seize the opportunity and make good use of the favor that Mrs. Ru owed him.
Xia Boran had no idea that instead of getting back the favor Mrs. Ru had given him, he had sold Mrs. Ru another favor.
The news that Xia Chiwan was pregnant with the "heir" of the seventeenth prince was not revealed to Mrs. Ru by Xia Boran.
Of course, Xia Boran knew very well who the child in Xia Chiwan's belly belonged to.
However, if Madam is not clear about it, that is enough.
To this end, Xia Boran just used a clever trick and casually said something vaguely in front of Mrs. Ru, such as the Seventeenth Prince was very concerned about a woman with a big belly and the child in that woman's belly, and the Seventeenth Prince seemed very nervous, and so on.
This made Mrs. Ru completely misunderstood.
As for the subsequent development of the matter, Xia Boran would say that it is beyond his control.
Afterwards, Xia Boran returned to his Zhou Mansion, waiting for the good news from Mrs. Ru.
Who would have thought that Princess Xia Chiwan of Changping was always fine, but the only one in trouble was the seventeenth prince.
The seventeenth prince didn't know why, but he suddenly fell seriously ill, which made him increasingly unable to get close to the seventeenth prince, or even to explain the map.
"It seems that women are not reliable when doing things."
Xia Boran said with some complaint as Wu Zhilan waited on her.
"Master, which woman offended you again?"
As soon as she heard the word "woman" from Xia Boran's mouth, Wu Zhilan became nervous.
"There are many women who have offended me, and you are one of them."
Naturally, it was impossible for Xia Boran to mention Mrs. Ru's matter in front of Wu Zhilan.
If the Madam was sent to the Seventeenth Prince by Xia Boran, how could one know that the Wu sisters were not sent to Xia Boran by the Seventeenth Prince.
Xia Boran has always been a person who likes to judge others by his own heart.
Although Xia Boran doted on the Wu sisters, it was only because Xia Boran had no hope for the two remaining sons of the Great Zhou Kingdom and hoped that the Wu sisters would find another branch for him.
For this reason, Xia Boran has not thought about finding another woman in recent times. It would be better to sow the seeds in the Wu sisters' bellies first.
"Master, what did I do to you?"
As soon as she heard Xia Boran's words, Wu Zhilan knew that they were not true.
But after following Xia Boran for a while, Wu Zhilan also knew that her husband was a bit old despite his age.
But her husband is definitely not an ordinary middle-aged man who is easily seduced by women.
This man in their family is very tight-lipped in front of the two sisters.
"Why, didn't you offend me enough last night?"
As he spoke, Xia Boran even stretched out his big palm and squeezed Wu Zhilan's delicate butt twice.
