At the Lin Family Courtyard, the people from the Shen Family had been running around for a day or two and were almost all exhausted. They had just lain down, and most of them fell asleep right away, which showed the state of their spirits.
Despite Shen Anyun's initial clamor to head straight to the teahouse, the fact was, as soon as she lay down, she was almost asleep, with only Lin Huayu still excitedly chatting beside her.
Just as everyone from the Shen Family was in a drowsy slumber, suddenly, a burst of rapid firecracker noises erupted. The sound was so loud it was startling, with the big firecrackers mixed in, intermittently producing booming sounds. These big firecrackers weren't just loud—their explosive noise even made the room's windows and the ground tremble, setting one's heart quivering with each blast.
