Published at 6th of July 2023 02:21:52 PM

These days she could only live on the street as a beggar, this kind of life was really miserable, only when someone gives porridge like today that life could be called good but most of the time, she could only beg everywhere and even eat other people's garbage… she have never been in such a sorry state in her life!

At present, hearing people praising Qin Jiu's good life and her coming of age ceremony, Zhao Aman felt annoyed, hatred and regret: it was Qin Jiu who ruined their family, she should have strangled Qin Jiu, this white-eyed wolf!

She really wanted to tell everyone that all that glory should have belonged to her daughter Qin Xin, but now, it was all taken away from her by Qin Jiu.

“Hey, what are you doing? If you don't want porridge, hurry up and leave!” Someone behind Zhao Aman roughly pushed her, urging her angrily.

Only then did Zhao Aman come back to her senses, realizing that it was her turn to receive porridge.

“I want it.” Zhao Aman hurriedly went forward, took the porridge and steamed buns from the old ladies who were distributing the food and timidly thanked them. She then hid in the nearest alley with the porridge and steamed buns in her hands.

Zhao Aman had been hungry all day and impatiently took a bite of the cold and coarse bun, but swallowed it anyway as she slightly frowned, thinking about what to do next.

After hiding for so long, the wind should have passed.

These days of begging were just too hard, she should go to her daughter.

During this period, while avoiding soldiers, Zhao Amman has been constantly searching for information from other beggars, and because of this she was aware of many major events that have occurred in the capital recently, including the Second Prince's expedition.

When the second prince returns victorious, it would be a great achievement. And surely after this, the second prince would definitely become the crown prince, and if he ascends to the throne in the future, his daughter would be the empress.

The good days were still coming, Zhao Aman said to herself. Her daughter has a plan and would definitely be able to settle her in a good place.

She doesn't want to live this miserable life anymore!

After eating that cold steamed bun and porridge, Zhao Aman went to the second prince's residence in a feverishly fast.

However, she should not let others know her identity, after all, she was a murderer and could be arrested by the soldiers, so she did not dare to take the initiative to knock on the gate of the second prince's mansion and could only choose to wait in front of the gate.

The servants of the Second Prince's Mansion walked in and out, and naturally noticed Zhao Aman. They thought she was a beggar who came to beg and drove her away, cursing.

Zhao Aman was driven out, so she could only run away first and planned to returned later. She waited around the Second Prince's Mansion for about ten days, allowing the wind, rain, and sun to beat her, but she remained steadfast.

In the afternoon of that day, she finally saw a luxurious black lacquered carriage with a gold-painted flat top coming out of the corner gate on the side of the prince's mansion.

This carriage has an extremely imposing aura, obviously it was not a servant sitting inside. Knowing that the second prince was not around, one could imagine who was actually sitting inside this carriage.

Immediately, Zhao Aman's eyes lit up and excitedly rushed over as she shouted on the top of her lungs, “Master, madam, have pity on me!”

The woman accompanying the carriage changed her face and pushed Zhao Aman, “Where did this beggar come from, get lost, go away!”

Zhao Aman staggered back several steps but still continued to shout at the carriage, “Have mercy.”

Her hoarse voice could be heard clearly in the carriage, Qin Xin whose eyes were originally closed suddenly opened, she immediately recognized that it was her mother's voice, Zhao Aman.

Her mother has been missing for so long, and Qin Xin has always been worried about her safety, she was not only afraid that she would be caught by the soldiers, and she was also afraid that something unexpected would happen to her alone.

Qin Xin hurriedly opened the corner of the curtain, and heard her mother shouts again, her gaze precisely fixed on the gray-clad woman who was ten steps away.

It was really her mother! Qin Xin subconsciously clenched the curtain in her hand as her heart wildly beating.

Father was arrested for murder, and he was still locked up in the magistrate's prison. She has been worried about her mother, and now she finally saw her.

Qin Xin stared unblinkingly at Zhao Aman.

Compared to three months ago, Zhao Aman has lost a lot of weight, her hair was dirty and messy, her face was even dirtier and her clothes were ragged, which reminds Qin Xin of the difficult times in her previous life.

Seeing her made Qin Xin extremely distressed but she pretended to be indifferent and deliberately asked, “What's the matter?” As she said this, she also secretly gave a wink to Zhao Aman.

Zhao Aman was ecstatic when she saw her daughter's signal, but on the surface, she said pitifully, “This madam, please pity me. I am a refugee from Huizhou, I have not eaten for two days and is really hungry, pleading the madam to give me a bite to eat.”

Zhao Aman said pitifully, but the servant who was driving her away, remained unmoved, thinking just because she said she needed help, doesn't mean that they would help those beggars in the capital.

“Really pitiful.” Qin Xin sighed sorrowfully, and with a compassionate look she added, “It just so happens that I'm still short of a sweeper in my courtyard.”

The servant who chased Zhao Aman slightly frowned and thought to herself, how could the madam let a person of unknown origin be brought into the second prince's mansion but before she could even voice this out, Qin Xin's personal maidservant, Shuxiang, had already echoed, “Madam is kind-hearted, then this servant will bring her inside first to settle down.”

As Shuxiang said this, she also immediately got out of the carriage and smiled kindly at Zhao Aman.

Zhao Aman settled down her heart and exchanged a tacit look with Qin Xin, showing an expression of endless gratitude as she said repeatedly, “Thank you, madam, thank you.”

Shuxiang then brought Zhao Aman into the second prince's mansion. Qin Xin lowered the curtains and the coachman continued on his way again.

The carriage headed west along the streets outside the mansion and went straight to the Marquis mansion.

Qin Xin was going to see Qin Zhun, she received a letter from Gu Jing yesterday, saying that he needed more money.

Gu Jing's letter was written concisely and didn't say why he wanted more money, and since it would take some time to travel from the capital to Jinzhou just to send the letter, Qin Xin couldn't ask Gu Jing what would he do with the money. But since he asked for it, surely it must be of great use. There was no money in the mansion, so she could only go to Qin Zhun again.

It took Qin Xin an hour to come out after entering the Marquis' mansion. Not after she came out, Qin Zhun also came out, and visited Qin Jiu in her mansion, again.
