"Eh? It wasn't you who sold it last time."
Ji Nianqin came to the center of the pedestrian street and found this small stall.
"That's my old man. He got mad at a buyer for not paying. He's sulking at home now and won't come out."
Ji Nianqin timidly placed a few copper coins in the old lady's hand and said, "I know this money is not enough, but I want to buy another one today."
"What? You were the one who bought it last time? You're the girl who didn't pay?"
The old woman held the copper coin tightly in her hand, holding it against her heart.
"Grandma, I didn't mean to do that. I really don't have any money, but don't worry, I will definitely pay you back in the future. As long as you let me travel back in time, I have a friend whose brother was a martial arts champion in ancient times. He has some money now, so I'll get some from him first. I won't owe you anything. If that doesn't work out, I'll give you double."
Ji Nianqin began to look for the hairpin she had bought last time on the stall, but there was no hairpin with a bell on it.
"Someone, come and help me catch her! She is the one who made me sick."
"Grandma, I've already said I'm sorry. You should at least listen to my explanation. Everything I said is true. Wait until I get back..."
"Here's the money."
The prince came and helped Ji Nianqin pay the last money. After that, the old lady quickly moved to a place where Ji Nianqin could not see her.
"Where are the people? It's all your fault. You didn't come earlier or later, and you came at the wrong time. And you're so ugly, you scared them away."
"You're being unreasonable. I saved you. Didn't you see the uniformed police patrolling over there? We'd be in trouble if we got caught. We don't have any ID, and if we're locked up as illegal immigrants, that would be terrible."
"What does it have to do with you? Aren't you going to be Xiaoxi's assistant? Why are you here with me?"
As Ji Nianqin spoke, she stood on tiptoe to continue observing the old lady's location, but the prince swayed in front of her, deliberately blocking her view.
"Get out of the way while I can still talk to you properly."
"You want that hairpin, do you want to travel back in time?"
"nonsense."
"Why don't you just ask me directly how I came to the modern world? Once you find a way, we can go back. I'm smart, right?"
"You know what I mean. What you said makes some sense. So, tell me, how did you get here?"
Ji Nianqin hugged her shoulders with her hands, looking very arrogant.
"You're begging me, just call me Master."
"Midnight snack? Believe it or not, I'll eat you up?"
"Young Master, I just heard a couple shouting this name. It's a good name, much more fashionable than the Prince's."
"Okay, Master, please tell me..."
"No."
"What? You clearly told me to call you Master, so just tell me."
"I've changed my mind. Why does it sound so nice when a girl says it, but when you say it, it sounds like a man's? So boring."
Ji Nianqin raised her fist and made cracking sounds in front of the prince, letting him know that she was being so cruel to him. Moreover, the cartilage on his face was so bad that his nose would be broken.
"Anyway, I was just playing hide-and-seek with Princess Mingyue. I hid behind the big wardrobe, and ended up here."
"You mean the most urgent thing is to find Princess Mingyue?"
"That's wrong. I mean we need to find a large wardrobe that can fit both of us."
"Put both of us in there?"
Ji Nianqin repeated the prince's words, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, thinking of a good place to go.
