The Xiong Mansion was less crowded with fewer servants than before the treaty was dissolved.
After the Zhou family broke the treaty with the Xiong family, the majority of the Zhou butlers and maids serving in the Xiong's main mansion pledged their loyalty and stayed behind. However, there were still at least ten people who left and pursued their dreams and passion, mainly the younger ones.
Even with the empty positions in the mansion, the Xiong family did not hire outsiders and just distributed the work with the remaining Zhou butlers and maids. They raised the pay and the benefits. The workers could not get any of these advantages in other houses. They stayed and remained loyal to the Xiong Main family, but they now also had scheduled time-offs and paid leaves.
Linfeng arrived at the East Wing and was greeted with an appetizing aroma in the reception area. He asked the servants around where his Young Miss was.
They all pointed towards the kitchen.
