After a girl in the crowd heard this, her eyes turned red with hatred.

She didn't hesitate anymore and quickly ran towards a yard.

At this time, a woman was lying half on the imperial concubine's couch, her face still covered with a layer of white gauze, so her true appearance could not be seen clearly.

"Aunt, can you still sleep peacefully? Cousin Sheng has emptied the palace for that bitch, and you don't care!" The girl shook her arm vigorously with an angry look on her face.

The woman opened her eyes suddenly, and a hint of impatience flashed deep in her narrow eyes.

She frowned and scolded: "Jin'er, do you still have any rules?"

Pei Jin bit her lip hard, tears welling up in her eyes.

The old lady next to her couldn't stand it anymore and quickly comforted her: "Old madam, don't blame Miss Jin. It was really the fuss at the homecoming ceremony at the Prince Regent's Mansion that even the people were talking about. That daughter of the Lin family, if not Relying on Mr. Fang’s kindness in taking care of the regent, how can he become the most noble regent in the current dynasty?”

Boredom flashed through the eyes of the old lady. She reached out and picked up the tea cup in front of her. As soon as she took a sip, she couldn't help but frown and spit out: "Bah, bah, bah, what kind of tea are you making for me?"

The old mama replied guiltily: "Isn't this the Yuqian Longjing that the old lady wants to drink?"

The old lady scolded coldly: "Nonsense, what is the taste of Longjing before the rain? You are bullying me and I can't taste it? Aunt Qian, you dare to fool me, it seems you want to get slapped!"

Mother Qian was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Old madam, please calm down!"

Pei Jin quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Aunt, why did you hit her? There are some things she didn't dare to tell you. Jin'er tells you that now our house can't even get five taels of silver out, and we can't afford rain at all. In Qian Longjing, even this little tea was bought by Grandma Qian in exchange for her silver hairpin!"

The old lady's face darkened, and sure enough she didn't see the silver hairpin that Grandma Qian usually wore.

Now it's only held by a wooden hairpin!

She chuckled wildly: "I have made you feel wronged by coming to the capital with me. Let's all go and make a living for ourselves!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly into the house, even closing the door tightly.

Pei Jin was immediately frightened and aggrieved. She stamped her feet and choked with sobs: "Why is my aunt so stubborn? It's obvious that the person in the high position is her biological son, the flesh that fell from her body. Even if she didn't have the kindness to raise her, , I also have feelings for him!"

Aunt Qian advised: "Miss Cousin, please stop talking. What happened back then has always been a thorn in the old lady's heart. Please don't irritate her anymore!"

Pei Jin said angrily: "Then we will die in poverty. We have to eat one meal but not another. What hardships are more important than having a full meal?"

As the voice faded away, a complex look flashed across the face of the old lady who was leaning against the door frame.

She murmured in a low voice: "A Sheng, it's true that my mother gave birth to you, but she cruelly threw you into that prison where you were killed without blood. You will definitely not forgive me, right? Instead of being hated by you, I would rather It’s better to stay away from you!”

She gritted her teeth, a flash of determination flashing in her eyes.

Now that A Jin is thinking of recognizing his relatives, he can't stay in the capital.

She immediately opened the door and said, "Mother Qian, hurry up and pack your things!"

Mother Qian was stunned. She asked anxiously: "Old madam, why do you want to leave so suddenly?"

The old lady sighed helplessly: "Do you think I can still live in this place? I have been away for so many years, and as long as I know that he is good, I will die without regrets!"

Nanny Qian's eyes immediately turned red. She understood the pain in the old lady's heart.

She said worriedly: "But Miss Cousin ran out, and there was no maid following her. I'm worried that she won't be able to come back for a while!"

The old lady shook her head: "Don't worry about her, pack your things first. When she comes back, we will leave Beijing immediately!"

Pei Jin angrily ran out of the dark alley and stepped into a puddle of dirty water, which immediately wet her shoes and splashed mud all over her body.

She immediately burst into tears and couldn't help whimpering angrily: "I've had enough of living in this wretched place. There are untouchables everywhere. Everyone stinks so much that you can smell it from a distance!"

Thinking of the luxurious homecoming gift from the Prince Regent's Palace, her eyes turned scarlet with jealousy.

She didn't hesitate anymore and quickly ran in the direction of the Minister of War's Mansion.

But when she was walking on the road, she heard someone pointing: "Look at that little girl, she looks like a little beggar. She is still wearing such a dirty skirt and shoes. It's really disgusting!"

Pei Jin lowered her head and saw that the outfit she was wearing was really unattractive.

In order to avoid being looked down upon by people in Fang Mansion, she decided to go to a clothing store to buy clothes.

She came to the shop with an uneasy look on her face, and saw a boy coming to greet her warmly.

He asked: "Miss? Do you want to buy clothes?"

Pei Jin clenched her fingers vigorously, and then stammered: "Yes, I want to buy the most beautiful clothes!"

The boy looked her up and down and said, "Young lady, you are joking. There are no unsightly clothes in our shop. It depends on how much you buy them!"

A flash of struggle flashed in Pei Jin's eyes, and her face was instantly filled with courage.

She said to herself, I am the cousin of the current regent. Being able to wear the clothes in their shop is to make them look good.

She didn't hesitate anymore and quickly urged: "Bring me two sets of the most exquisite clothes in your shop. I want to try them on!"

Seeing her being so proud, the waiter thought she was a big customer.

Although he looks unfamiliar, he is not a relative of any noble family.

After all, under the emperor's feet, any person who comes out of the alley may be related to the family.

He quickly went to get the clothes and even gave them exquisite embroidered shoes.

After Pei Jin put on a pink dress, she suddenly seemed like a different person, charming and charming, especially her crescent-like eyes, which were even more breathtaking.

The boy couldn't help but praise: "The young lady looks like a fairy descending to earth. If she goes out, the noble lords in the capital will look back at her!"

Pei Jin raised her chin proudly: "How can they be worthy of me? Besides, I was engaged since I was born, so don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation!"

The boy quickly covered his head and apologized: "I'm too talkative. Are you satisfied with these clothes?"

Pei Jin nodded: "I'm very satisfied, the shoes also fit my feet. I'll just wear them when I go out, and I won't have to change them out again!"

The boy was so happy that he couldn't see anything: "Okay, I'll wrap up the old and new ones for you. Please go to the counter to pay the bill, a total of 30 taels of silver!"

Pei Jin almost slipped and fell to the ground. Why are these clothes so expensive?

The boy quickly explained: "This is a new silk from Jiangnan. There are only a few pieces in the store. It was originally ordered by others. If it hadn't been for your dress, I wouldn't have dared to sell it to you!"
