Chapter 1018: Suspicious Death

Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Suspicious Death

An observing middle-aged man also spoke up, his voice tinged with sorrow: "Our Huan’er really is a good child! Mild-mannered, filial to his parents, loving to neighbors, he would never do such a thing!"

On the other side, a little maid also crawled forward a few steps and kowtowed to Han Jing: "Please, please save our young master!"

Several people couldn’t help but start crying again.

Han Jing frowned. According to them, Su... Huan? really liked Miss Xia and would never harm her. It’s unlikely that knowing about her heart condition, he would stimulate her. Han Jing remembered a detail, which was that when that uncle narrated the incident, he mentioned that while on the road, it was originally Miss Xia who tried to persuade them, but Young Master Su stopped her and sent her back, for fear her heart condition might accidentally flare up.

Then how could Young Master Su, who even onlookers’ quarrels feared would hurt his beloved, lose control arguing with his beloved, causing her to die of an illness episode?

This indeed is... somewhat baffling.

Since he had already decided to get to the bottom of this matter, Han Jing naturally would not give up halfway.

"You better explain the whole sequence of events, including what kind of person Young Master Su is, how he normally interacted with Miss Xia. If Young Master Su is indeed innocent, there must be something wrong. So many innocent people have been implicated, you must be aware of this by now, so you best answer me honestly. Otherwise, we can’t help you, and you’ll be stuck here waiting for those ghosts to continue haunting you!" Han Jing said, half promising, half threatening.

"Yes, yes," several people nodded hurriedly, having talked for a while, already believing Han Jing and the others were humans, not ghosts, coupled with Ning Shiqi using the silver needle to calm their emotions, had emboldened them a bit. So, as they started speaking, they gradually became more coherent.

Han Jing finally understood the matter concerning Su Huan.

Su Huan was of normal birth, and his cultivation was ordinary, but he was handsome, well-read, gentle in temperament, in an era where spirit cultivators were everywhere and strong ruled, he should be considered an anomaly, indeed unlikely to attract the favor of those in high places.

If placed in Hanjing City, however, he might be quite attractive to the ladies.

Miss Xia was raised delicately from a young age, quite young, and having a heart condition, she must have been carefully nurtured growing up. Hence, her liking Su Huan, a youth as handsome as a noble master, is understandable.

The two often discussed poetry and paintings when together, seemingly well-matched. After all, with a heart condition, cultivation was difficult, Miss Xia, being idle, likely read a lot of books and naturally admired those with literary talent.

Judging from Miss Xia’s behavior and everyone’s evaluation of her, she should also be extremely gentle.

So, these two people together, almost unlikely ever to have any dispute. If seen this way, Miss Xia’s death is really suspicious.

"What kind of person is your Lady Xia?" Han Jing suddenly asked.

The Su Family members asked were stunned for a long time, not quite understanding why Han Jing would ask this, what kind of person the Island Master is... they don’t know?
