Jiang Qinghuan had escaped alongside the servants.
Her hair was disheveled, and several holes had been burned through her clothes. When she saw her father slumped on the ground, her eyes instantly widened.
Terrified, she tried to approach him, but a servant beside her clung tightly to her sleeve and warned, "Miss, that isn't the master anymore. You mustn't go near him!"
