Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go

”Housekeeper Ye, you don’t need to apologize to me. If the video is real, I have no way to defend myself or escape punishment either.” Xia Qingqian’s face was utterly calm. As for Beitang Yao’s decision, she accepted it without resistance. ”I’ll go pack a few changes of clothes first.”

”Miss Xia, Young Master’s intention is for you to go to the ranch just like this. You’re not allowed to take anything with you.” Ye Feng looked troubled as well. Staring at the girl in front of him, with her belly so big, yet having to live in that damp place at the ranch, he couldn’t bear it in his heart, but he didn’t dare disobey Young Master’s orders...

Xia Qingqian’s body halted, a trace of sorrowful smile spilling at the corner of her lips, suddenly looking caught off guard.

She couldn’t take anything with her...

Xia Qingqian didn’t dare go against Beitang Yao’s orders either. She could only follow behind Ye Feng, go downstairs, get in the car, and after the car arrived at the ranch, Ye Feng asked the ranch manager to free up a clean room.

The manager instead said, ”Housekeeper Ye, I’m really sorry, all the cleaner rooms have already been taken by the servants. There’s only one storeroom that hasn’t been used yet. I don’t know if that’s suitable...”

Ye Feng thought that, at the very least, Xia Qingqian had once been the woman favored by Young Master. Letting her live in a storeroom that hadn’t even been tidied up was still a bit of a grievance for her.

”Housekeeper Ye, it’s fine. I can stay in the storeroom.” Xia Qingqian forced a smile onto her face, not wanting Ye Feng to feel embarrassed.

”All right then, help Miss Xia tidy it up a bit and let her move in.” After Ye Feng finished giving instructions, his phone rang. It was Young Master calling.

After hanging up, Ye Feng said to the manager, ”Manager, I’ll leave Miss Xia in your care.” When he said this, it carried far too much meaning.

”Mm, Housekeeper Ye, I’ll make sure to take good care of Miss Xia.” The word ”care” came out of the manager’s mouth almost twisted.

As soon as Ye Feng left, the smile on the manager’s face froze. He didn’t so much as look Xia Qingqian straight in the eye, just pointed at the storeroom not far away and said, ”The place you’re living in, you clean it up yourself. You’re nothing more than the lowest of the low servants in the castle now! Once you’re under me, you’ll never get back on your feet again.”

Xia Qingqian hadn’t expected the manager to talk about her like that, but she endured it and didn’t lash out at him. Instead she smiled and nodded. ”Thank you, Manager.”

”And where do you think you’re going!” The manager saw Xia Qingqian lift her foot to leave and hurriedly called her back. ”Who said you could go? My word is law here. Without my permission, who told you you could leave first? Do you really still think you’re Young Master Yao’s woman? Pah!”

Xia Qingqian stopped in her tracks, her legs going weak. She hadn’t expected that the moment she left his villa, she would draw so many hostile, contemptuous glares...

”May I ask what instructions you have for me, Manager?” Xia Qingqian slowly turned around, looking at the manager as she asked.

”Everyone is busy working in the fields right now. Do you think you’re the only one who can slack off? Don’t forget, everyone who comes here is here to be severely punished. Don’t you dare think you can live like a Young Madam here.” The manager walked up to Xia Qingqian, arms crossed, let out a cold snort, then stretched out a hand and pointed into the distance. ”See that sheep pen over there? There’s still a lot of sheep dung that needs to be cleaned up.”

Xia Qingqian followed the direction of her finger. It was a sheep pen that could hold two hundred sheep.

”You need to have it all cleaned up before the sun goes down. The flock needs to live in a comfortable place!” The manager shoved the broom in his hand into Xia Qingqian’s grip. ”Hurry up and go. Or were you planning to wait until the sheep come back before you start cleaning?”

Looking at the broom in her hand, Xia Qingqian realized that she’d fallen to this point. All she could do was accept her fate.
