Noisy Alley was nothing like its name. The residents were all respectable folks living in imposing mansions, and at night it was so quiet you could only hear the barking of dogs—tonight, the dogs seemed especially worked up, all because two new families had moved in.
Long before the Qin and Shi families arrived, Shi Huaifeng had already arranged their accommodations. Through the Ritual Guard's maneuvering, he had managed to buy two houses on Noisy Alley—one large, nestled deep in the alley for the Shi Family, and a smaller one at the mouth of the alley for the Qin Family.
After all, Shi Huaifeng did not have quite the same guts as Qin Leyin, who had practically moved the entire clan to Yanjing, so naturally, he needed a bigger place to live.
