The moment they stepped through the front doors, Guiying understood why there had been so many people waiting outside.
The mansion was surprisingly lively. Employees moved through the hallways with practiced efficiency while others stood ready to assist whenever needed. The place felt less like a private residence and more like a small community operating under one roof.
Guiying had barely taken a few steps when a maid approached him with a respectful smile.
"Young Master Guiying, may I carry your things?"
Before he could answer, another employee stepped forward.
"If Young Master Guiying would like, I can show you to your room."
A third employee appeared almost immediately.
"Would Young Master Guiying like tea or refreshments prepared?"
Guiying froze.
Then he looked at the employees.
Then he looked at Liuxian.
Then he looked back at the employees again.
The entire situation felt slightly overwhelming.
