After obtaining enough information from the Netherworld Wine House, Dugu Yifeng said goodbye to Li Qing and left with Yu Ling'er.

He had wanted to ask others for some information, but he hadn't thought that the source of this news would be a friend that he used to know. Dugu Yifeng didn't think too much about it. In short, it was enough to understand this information!

After leaving the house, Dugu Yifeng stopped and turned to look at Yu Ling'er.

Until now, Yu Ling'er had not spoken. She was very obedient, and Dugu Yifeng did not question her either.

"Where to?"

Yu Ling'er looked at Dugu Yifeng. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and said, "Follow me!"

At this time, the young girl returned to her lively appearance and turned into the street without looking back.

Dugu Yifeng followed closely behind. After passing through a few streets, they arrived at a street filled with mud houses.

As soon as he entered the street, a few beggars came over.

At this moment, Yu Ling'er took a step forward, took out a few copper coins, and handed them over.

Dugu Yifeng was stunned as he glanced at Yu Ling'er and the beggars in surprise.

What surprised him was not the copper coins that Yu Ling'er was giving to these beggars, but rather her actions.

Usually, when the ladies of large clans saw the beggar, their first action would be to retreat, in order to avoid the beggars from dirtying their clothes. However, Yu Ling'er was the complete opposite. Not only did she not retreat, she took the initiative to move forward.

After the little beggars received the money, they couldn't help but to thank Yu Ling'er.

At this moment, Dugu Yifeng finally noticed that there were beggars everywhere on this ancient street, begging for money.

The dirty old streets, the dilapidated houses, and the numerous beggars left Dugu Yifeng puzzled. Why would such a place appear in the Eastern Imperial City?

Seemingly having sensed Dugu Yifeng's confusion, Yu Ling'er walked in front and said as she walked, "This place is the slums of the Eastern Imperial City. No beggars are allowed on the streets of the Eastern Imperial City, so all the beggars in the entire Eastern Imperial City are rushing here."

"Among these beggars, most of them are old, weak, and handicapped, not adults!"

As Dugu Yifeng listened, he observed that the beggars all around him were mostly children and women. As they walked, there were beggars that came up to beg for them. Yu Ling'er also took out a copper coin and gave them one by one.

However, it wasn't that every beggar, Yu Ling'er, gave them alms. Normally, if a child or woman came over to beg, Yu Ling'er would give it to them. However, for some men, Yu Ling'er completely ignored them.

Dugu Yifeng also noticed that every time these beggars received the copper coin, they would say with gratitude, "Thank you, Miss Ling'er!"

"Do you come here often?" Dugu Yifeng asked.

Yu Ling'er nodded and continued walking into one of the courtyards.

As he approached, Dugu Yifeng noticed that this courtyard had quite a bit of scale. At least, in this kind of mud house, it could be considered a very tall place.

Pushing the door open, Dugu Yifeng could hear the laughter of many children and the shouts of the women.

"Big Sister Ling'er is here."

"Quickly, look! Big Sister Ling'er is here!"

"Big Sister Ling'er! Big Sister Ling'er!"

"..."

As soon as he opened the door, Dugu Yifeng discovered that he and Yu Ling'er had been completely surrounded by a group of children.

Judging from the situation, it was clear that Yu Ling'er was familiar with them.

Yu Ling'er greeted them one by one. Dugu Yifeng also squatted down and chatted with these children in a friendly manner.

Soon, a housekeeper arrived.

"You kids can all go play first, let auntie and elder sister Ling'er have a chat."

"Hehe, alright. Auntie, let's go play."

"Understood, Auntie."

These children were all very well-behaved, and soon, they all left. The woman quickly walked up to Yu Ling'er and bowed. "Greetings, Miss Ling'er."

Yu Ling'er hurriedly helped the woman up and said, "Auntie, there is no need to be so courteous. Ling'er is only here to take a look today."

Dugu Yifeng, who was standing to the side, could not interrupt him at all. He did not say anything further and carefully observed the courtyard.

The courtyard wasn't very large, but there were many rooms crowded together, occupying most of the space within the courtyard. It was obvious that most of the houses had been rebuilt and added to it. It seemed like the purpose was to increase the number of houses that could be used for living, but there was no other use.

The woman beside him looked at Dugu Yifeng with some doubt. "Miss, this is ?"

"Oh, this is my cousin. Accompany me to come take a look today." Yu Ling'er explained with a smile.

When the woman heard that Dugu Yifeng was Yu Ling'er's cousin, she immediately became enthusiastic. Oh, it's young master. Oh, by the way, young master and young lady, please come in immediately. The old woman was truly confused, leaving the young master and young miss outside to talk. Come on, come on, come on in. "

After entering the room, Dugu Yifeng and Yu Ling'er sat down. The woman poured the two of them some water, but there was no tea.

"Without waiting for the woman to speak, Yu Ling'er immediately took out a cloth bag from her waist." Aunt, here is the living expenses for these children for the next three months.

Dugu Yifeng took a look at the cloth bag and a faint golden light shone out of it. Needless to say, they were all gold coins. Looking at the large sack, it had to be at least several hundred gold coins.

"This old woman thanks Miss on behalf of the children and women here. Miss is kind and will repay the kindness in the future!" The woman didn't refuse and directly put away the cloth bag.

Dugu Yifeng watched quietly from the side, not saying a word. Before understanding the situation clearly, Dugu Yifeng had no say in the matter.

What followed next was a very common scene. The woman wanted to keep Yu Ling'er and Dugu Yifeng to eat, but they politely rejected her.

After finishing her business, Yu Ling'er returned to the manor with Dugu Yifeng.

On the way, Yu Ling'er remained silent. She only stopped when she was about to reach the Jade Mansion.

Dugu Yi Feng also quietly stood there. He knew that Yu Ling'er would definitely have something to say to him today.

"When I was very young, I used to get sick and get cold all over. I remember that feeling. It was very, very cold. "

"But when I was sick, my mother held me in her arms and sobbed softly. "Meanwhile, my father grabbed my hands and continuously channeled his inner strength into my body."

Originally, I had been feeling very cold. However, after staying in my mother's embrace and feeling my father's internal energy enter my body, I suddenly felt that I was no longer cold.

"Later, my father brought me half a piece of jade. It was a very strange piece of jade. However, ever since this piece of jade was hung on my body, I suddenly no longer feel cold, nor am I ever cold again. "

"Mother said that I was a virtuous person, so I obtained this half piece of jade. She told me to do more good, to do good. "

"Later on, I adopted all the orphans in the Eastern Imperial City and got a few widows to look after them. They don't have the warmth of their parents' arms, but I will do my best to give them some warmth. "

"I know, you came to my Jade Mansion for this half piece of jade."

At this point, Yu Ling'er suddenly stopped. Dugu Yifeng also lowered his head. His brows were tightly knitted together as he remained silent.

Yu Ling'er suddenly turned around and looked at Dugu Yifeng. The young girl suddenly smiled and said:

"If you ever decide to take my warmth away, come to me."

He turned around and left without a trace of hesitation. Dugu Yifeng raised his head and looked at the young girl. He could not help but sigh with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
