Uncle Zhang paused for a moment, then continued to recall:
"However, the Old Master still let Cousin Miss in, saying that he had something to discuss with her, and sent all of us away."
"I didn't think too much about it, and just left. I didn't know when the Old Master and Cousin Miss went upstairs. Probably about half an hour later,
I heard Cousin Miss's cry for help outside and realized that something had happened to the Old Master."
As he spoke of this, a look of regret still filled Uncle Zhang's face, and he fiercely slapped himself again.
"It's all my fault. I should have stayed by the Old Master's side at that time."
Saying so, such a steadfast and unyielding man began to sob quietly.
Qiao Xu watched from the side, feeling a bit uncomfortable as well.
"Uncle Zhang, don't blame yourself. Grandpa asked you to leave, and you couldn't have disobeyed him."
