I arranged a marriage for you, not made you invincible under a disguise.

Shen Sixi: "Let's forget it, let's just stay at the Zhong family's place. If it really doesn't work out, we can go to your place."

Old Huang: "Alright."

Old Huang wrote down his home address for Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi put away the note and prepared to leave. Old Huang said, "However, you need to be careful after you move in."

He looked embarrassed and said, "My reputation isn't very good right now, and I'm afraid they'll take their anger out on you. Sigh."

Old Huang was mortified; he never imagined he'd end up like this in his own hometown.

Shen Sixi nodded without changing her expression: "I know. That's why we didn't tell the Zhong family that we were your friends after we moved in."

Old Huang opened his mouth as if to say something.

In the end, he said nothing and silently covered his face.

Shen Sixi patted his shoulder perfunctorily again and left.

This time, she left through the window.

She jumped out of the window and over the wall, returning to Zhong Mengze's side.

Zhong Mengze had been waiting for her for so long but wasn't sleepy at all; he was leaning against the outside playing mobile games.

He caught a glimpse of Shen Sixi jumping out out of the corner of his eye, and he even forgot to play the game.

"Wow!" he exclaimed, holding his phone in both hands. "Sister, what kind of goddess are you!"

Shen Sixi glanced at his phone screen and said calmly, "You're about to die."

"He's about to die?" Zhong Mengze exclaimed in shock.

"Sister, what's wrong with me? I'm suddenly sick? What disease do I have? A terminal illness? Why am I dying so fast?" Zhong Mengze was terrified, her face turned pale.

Shen Sixi sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead.

Shen Sixi: "I'm talking about the character you control in the game!"

The next second, the sound effect of a character dying came from Zhong Mengze's phone.

Zhong Mengze held his phone and sighed deeply.

Shen Sixi shook her head and took the lead in leaving.

Zhong Mengze put away his phone and hurriedly chased after her: "Sister, you can play games?"

Shen Sixi didn't turn her head: "I know a little."

"A little bit? How can you say 'a little bit'? Sister, I think you're too modest. If I knew everything like you, I'd be ecstatic by now. That wall was so high, and you jumped over it in one go! I was completely dumbfounded." Zhong Mengze's tone was incredibly exaggerated.

Shen Sixi said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal?"

Zhong Mengze: "Sister, you really are... a master! Yes! A master!"

Shen Sixi didn't say anything.

She genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Zhong Mengze sighed to himself for a while, then shamelessly asked Shen Sixi, "Sister, why don't you teach me too? I want to learn that lightness skill. Do you think I can learn it?"

"What lightness skill? That's not lightness skill, it's just a trivial skill," Shen Sixi retorted.

Zhong Mengze: "Okay, okay, it's not light-body skill. Whether it's light-body skill or not, sister, I want to learn!"

Shen Sixi turned her head and looked Zhong Mengze up and down.

"Want to learn?"

Zhong Mengze straightened his back: "I want to learn!"

Shen Sixi: "Too late, ten years earlier would have been more appropriate."

"Huh? Okay." Zhong Mengze's face immediately fell.

However, he didn't dwell on this matter for long and quickly thought of something else.

Zhong Mengze: "Sister, you've been inside for so long? Did you see Old Huang?"

Zhong Mengze didn't think Shen Sixi would be able to meet Elder Huang.

The Ning family home is so big, with so many rooms, how are we supposed to find it?

Moreover, if the Ning family intentionally imprisoned someone, why would they imprison them in an easily accessible place?

But—he still remembered how Shen Sixi had slapped him in the face not long ago.

At that moment, he had just said that the wall was too high to get through when Shen Sixi easily jumped over it.

Perhaps Shen Sixi really can find Elder Huang at the Ning family.

Sure enough, Shen Sixi nodded: "Found it."

Zhong Mengze was prepared for this and was not surprised.

He's just curious.

Zhong Mengze: "Where did you find him? In the basement? In the cellar? How is Old Huang now? Is he tied up and hasn't eaten for days? Oh dear, we should have brought him some food before we came."

Shen Sixi: "It's not that exaggerated."

She said truthfully, "Old Huang was locked in a room, not tied up, and he didn't look like he had ever been hungry."

"I see. Then the Ning family isn't particularly unreasonable," Zhong Mengze said casually.

Shen Sixi did not express her opinion.

The Ning family accused Huang of murder without any evidence, locked him in their home, and refused to have an autopsy performed...

Shen Sixi felt that the Ning family's behavior was very unreasonable, and that they shouldn't be considered good just because they didn't tie up Old Huang.

As Zhong Mengze spoke, he seemed to remember something else.

He wondered, "If Old Huang wasn't tied up, why isn't he coming out? Is the door locked? No way, if the door is locked, how could you get in?"

Shen Sixi: "It wasn't locked; it's just that Old Huang himself didn't want to leave."

"Huh? Old Master Huang doesn't want to leave? Why?" Zhong Mengze couldn't understand.

If it were him, he would have run away long ago if he could.

Shen Sixi: "Old Huang said that if he runs away, his crime will be proven. He wants to stay there until he is cleared of his name."

Zhong Mengze listened and remained silent for a long time.

After a long silence, he exclaimed, "Old Huang truly lives up to his reputation."

"I knew it! Old Huang is definitely innocent!"

Shen Sixi nodded in agreement.

Zhong Mengze: "But how can we clear our name? Ning Yuan's body has already been cremated."

Shen Sixi: "There will always be a way."

"Sister, do you have a way? Do you want to save Elder Huang? I'll go with you!" Zhong Mengze said eagerly.

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow: "What, aren't you afraid of implicating Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong?"

Zhong Mengze scratched his head and stammered, "I...I want to do the right thing."

"As for my parents, they will understand me once Old Huang's injustice is cleared. Even if I am targeted by the villagers in the future, my parents will not blame me."

"Sister, don't let my mom's greed and my dad's paranoia fool you. They're not bad people at all; they're very nice," Zhong Mengze said, unusually serious.

Shen Sixi nodded: "I know."

Aunt Zhong is not the kind of person who only cares about profit or loves to take advantage of others.

Otherwise, after hearing Shen Sixi's conditions for giving the medicine, they wouldn't have been so eager to offer anything else.

Zhong Mengze asked again, "Sister, is it alright? Can I come with you? I'm from this village, and there are some things I can do more easily than you can!"

Shen Sixi pondered for a moment and then agreed.

"can."

Zhong Mengze cheered, overjoyed.

……

Although she had decided to save Elder Huang, Shen Sixi had not yet figured out how to do it.

The next day, she got up, ate the breakfast that Aunt Zhong had made, and decided to take a walk around the village first.

Shen Tu Rong was still asleep when Xiao Hua and Hong Yu saw that Shen Sixi was about to go out and hurriedly wanted to follow.

Zhong Mengze also wants to join.

Shen Sixi glanced at the people standing in front of her and said, "Xiao Hua Hongyu, you guys rest first. I'm just taking a walk in the village. Too many people will only make me stand out."

Seeing that Shen Sixi hadn't called his name, Zhong Mengze quickly raised his hand and volunteered, "Me! Sister, take me with you! I grew up in the village, I know the way well!"

Aunt Zhong happened to be passing by and overheard this, and chimed in, "Yes, Miss Shen, my son Xiaoze knows the way well. If you want to go out and play, just have him take you!"

He then instructed Zhong Mengze: "Xiaoze, take good care of the guests."

Zhong Mengze responded crisply, "Oh, is that even a question? Don't worry!"

Since Aunt Zhong and Zhong Mengze had already put their words to this point, Shen Sixi had no objections.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." She said to Zhong Mengze.
