Carry out your other business during the day around Vernworth until the sun sets and then return to the fountain. Eventually Albert the beggar will leave his post and walk away. This is the time when you should follow him. Timing is the key word here. If you’re late, he’s already left.
He goes into the slums and visits Walters Tavern. Stay with him as he will eventually leave and go to his home in the city Vernworth Community District. (This is around the corner from the house you can buy from Mildred in the ‘A Place To Call Home’ quest.)

When he enters his house, wait outside for him to emerge in a different, much fancier outfit. As soon as he leaves, go to his house and pick up his clothes Beggar’s garb. With the clothes in hand, two quest markers should appear on your map. One leads to a house in the Noble Quarter, while the other is back at Walter’s Tavern.

Go back to Walter’s Tavern and you will find Celina, Albert’s wife. You have the option to give her the beggar’s robe, but that’s not necessary yet. You know Albert is up to no good, but you don’t know exactly what.

Now the decision is yours as you have three options. You can return the beggar’s robe to Albert and let him continue as he is.
