Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Infiltrating the Island Master Mansion

And also, what is the truth of the matter.

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, thank you!" Madam Su and the others hurriedly kowtowed to Han Jing and the others in gratitude. At this point, there really is no other way.

These months, not only them, but even the people on Xia Gui Island have had a very hard time.

As for those who died, how could they not feel sympathy and guilt towards them? But they genuinely don’t know what happened. In any case, they wouldn’t believe that it was their Huan’er who angrily caused the death of the Miss. That is absolutely impossible.

Han Jing waved her hand: "Enough, stop kneeling. Those innocent who died were also pitiable. Burn more paper money for them. Also, we currently have no place to stay. Could we temporarily reside here for a few days? Once our task is done, we will naturally leave."

To investigate the matters at Xia Gui Island, she and Su Yu can go. It’s still more prudent for others to stay here since they haven’t figured out what exactly happened at the Island Master Mansion.

Madam Su and the others naturally had no objections.

It was confirmed that Han Jing and the others were humans, not ghosts, and might even help them. Even the little ghost in the mansion was driven away, so Madam Su and the others breathed a huge sigh of relief, no longer as frightened. With spirits relaxed, they naturally wouldn’t be as nervous and scared as before.

The Su Family, although not an illustrious family, had been in the silk trade on Xia Gui Island for generations, hence they were also wealthy. It’s just a pity that such a disaster struck, turning the once bustling mansion into a ghostly domicile.

Madam Su and the others first freshened up together, then looked at the people in the mirror, barely recognizing themselves.

Each was as thin as a bag of bones, eyes sunken, looking aged by a decade.

These days, their lives haven’t been fit for humans.

Fortunately, there is finally a glimmer of hope now.

That’s human nature; when there’s hope, there’s courage, and not as much fear.

After tidying up, Madam Su ordered the remaining two maids and one family servant to arrange guest rooms for Han Jing and the others and personally cooked lunch for them. Though not sumptuous, it was at least an expression of her genuine hope.

Han Jing and the others didn’t mind that the lunch was simple. After eating and settling down, Han Jing pulled Su Yu, letting others remain here while the two of them stealthily went to the Island Master Mansion.

Xia Gui Island’s Island Master Mansion was large and spacious, with a heavy atmosphere.

With Han Jing and Su Yu’s skills, even sneaking into the Island Master Mansion in broad daylight was hardly noticeable.

So, they first went to Xia Wu’s courtyard, but before reaching their destination, they heard things being smashed and people being beaten and scolded from afar.

Han Jing and Su Yu exchanged glances; they almost didn’t need to guess to know it must be Xia Wu.

However, this was really strange. Xia Wu had been the Island Master for hundreds of years, possessing power and intelligence, both emotional and cognitive. Even if she’s grief-stricken over losing her beloved daughter, why would she become like this? Xia Gui Island is in turmoil now, yet she doesn’t care and is busy venting her anger here?
