One month and one week
The matter ended up in a standstill. They have to perform another trial, but the re-trial would include the masters and head butlers from the second branches of the Xiong and Zhou families.
Aside from the Head Master of the branch, the second branch of the Xiong family have several masters, they were the children of the Branch Head Master.
Each master have their own respective mansions once they formed their own families, becoming the head masters of their own mansion. Thus, there were also several head butlers from the Zhou family serving in the second branch. Each mansion would have its own head butler, serving the mansion's head master directly.
The re-trial would have a bigger voting scale. A lot of preparation would be needed, thus, this matter would be dragged on longer.
Old Xiong harrumphed. "Zhou Min, how many days would it take for the re-trial?"
