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

That's all Aunt Zhong knows; she can't say anything more.

"However..." Aunt Zhong hesitated and said, "A few days ago, Old Man Yu said that his son and daughter-in-law were deceived by Old Man Huang?"

Zhong Mengze, who was playing on his phone, couldn't help but interject when he heard Aunt Zhong's words: "Mom, Old Huang isn't that kind of person!"

Aunt Zhong grumbled, "I never said Old Huang was that kind of person! Isn't this what the Yu family said? You get all worked up just mentioning Old Huang. I've never seen you defend your own mother like this before!"

Zhong Mengze: "Oh my god, you don't know the situation..."

Aunt Zhong: "What do you think you know if I don't? You were still in junior high school in the county when the Yu family disappeared. What do you know?"

Zhong Mengze: "That's not what I meant. Oh dear, I really... can't explain it to you!"

Aunt Zhong wanted to say something, but before she could speak, she heard a chaotic argument outside.

The argument was punctuated by Uncle Zhong's angry roar.

What are you doing here?!

"Are you completely lawless? We all live in the same village, we see each other all the time, what do you mean by this?!"

"Who could be suspicious in our house? Tourists! Tourists!"

"Oh no!" Aunt Zhong exclaimed in alarm, and quickly stood up from her chair.

"Miss Shen, Miss Shentu, please have a seat. I'll go out and check the situation. Xiaoze, you stay with Miss Shen!" she hurriedly instructed before rushing outside to check the situation.

Shen Tu Rong was a little scared and unconsciously moved closer to Shen Sixi, hugging Shen Sixi's arm.

"Sister Xi, what happened?"

Shen Sixi peeked out the window but couldn't see anything.

She patted Shen Tu Rong's arm and comforted her, "Don't worry."

Zhong Mengze has stopped playing games.

He put away his phone and said, "Don't worry, my parents are here, everything will be fine."

However, the situation outside is getting worse.

More than ten minutes passed, and the noise did not subside.

Shen Tu Rong had already realized that the people outside were coming for her and Shen Sixi. She turned pale with fright and clung tightly to Shen Sixi's arm.

She wouldn't be so scared in another place, but this village is too remote, surrounded by mountains. She worries that even if she dies here, no one will know.

Shen Sixi listened intently for a while, then calmly stood up.

“I’m going out to take a look,” she said.

Seeing this, Shen Tu Rong panicked even more and suddenly stood up: "Sister Xi!"

Zhong Mengze: "Sister, you'd better not go. You guys just wait here. I'll go out and take a look. It might not be your business at all. Maybe someone is causing trouble for my family. Sigh, living in the same village, there are always a lot of conflicts."

He finished speaking in a seemingly casual manner, then got up and left.

Shen Tu Rong tugged at Shen Sixi's arm: "Sister Xi, shall we wait for them here?"

"No." Shen Sixi shook her head.

Shen Sixi: "This morning you asked me how to save Old Huang, and I said wait. What we need to wait for is now."

Shen Tu Rong stared blankly at Shen Sixi.

Shen Sixi instructed, "If you're scared, wait for me here."

Shen Tu Rong took a deep breath.

"I'm not afraid, Sister Xi, let's go together."

Shen Sixi nodded and took the lead in walking out.

Many villagers came to the Zhong family's house.

Standing at the very front were the Yu family and the Ning family.

Uncle Yu came from the Yu family, and the entire Ning family came, including Old Madam Ning.

Ning Xiaochuan's expression changed when he saw Shen Sixi, and he looked away.

Shen Sixi didn't notice Ning Xiaochuan's expression.

Her gaze swept over the Yu and Ning families, her expression calm.

It was Uncle Yu who spoke first.

Uncle Yu pointed at Shen Sixi and said angrily, "I told you she was here, but you wouldn't admit it! What else is there to say now! Huh?"

Uncle Yu was speaking to the Zhong family.

The Zhong family members' expressions were not very pleasant after hearing Uncle Yu's words.

After questioning the Zhong family, Uncle Yu pointed to Shen Sixi and Shen Tu Rong, and said to the villagers behind him, "It's them! They are Old Huang's friends. There are two other people, but we don't know where they've gone!"

"I knew I wasn't mistaken! This morning, I saw the Zhong family boy leading this person around the village! I wonder what their purpose is!"

The villagers were talking a lot.

Aunt Zhong retorted, "Purpose? What purpose could there be? When outsiders come to our village and stay at my house, it's perfectly normal for me to have my son Xiaoze show them around."

Zhong Mengze also said, "That's right, we can't even take a walk? Is our village some kind of secret base? Are outsiders not allowed to walk around in the village?"

Uncle Yu: "Are they just ordinary outsiders? They're Old Huang's friends! Don't you even realize that we live in a poor, remote area? Where would we get tourists from?"

Uncle Zhong: "We don't care whose friends they are. Since they've come and paid, we're going to treat them well!"

Uncle Yu: "Is money all you care about? You'll bring anyone home as long as you pay?"

Aunt Zhong: "We're taking them into our own home, it's none of your business!"

Uncle Yu: "You!"

At this moment, Shen Sixi spoke slowly and deliberately.

Shen Sixi: "Uncle Yu, you've made quite a show of force."

Uncle Yu looked at Shen Sixi coldly: "What exactly is your purpose in going to such lengths to stay here with us?"

"There's no particular purpose, it's just—"

Shen Sixi glanced at the Ning family members and said slowly, "I just want those who distort the truth to pay a price."

As soon as Shen Sixi finished speaking, someone's expression changed.

The Ning family members had remained silent until now, when they finally couldn't help but speak up.

Uncle Ning: "We know you're here to stand up for Old Huang, but it's a fact that Old Huang harmed our Ningyuan! After taking Old Huang's medicine, Ningyuan died not long after. We saw it with our own eyes."

Uncle Ning's tone wasn't as agitated as Uncle Yu's; it was slow and gentle, as if he were very sad.

Upon hearing his words, several people who were acquainted with Ning Yuan immediately had tears in their eyes.

Shen Sixi: "You say you saw it with your own eyes, so you see it with your own eyes? Do you have any evidence? You can lock people up without any proof? I could also say that I heard you say that Ning Yuan was killed by your own people, and I could lock you up then too?"

Uncle Ning and Aunt Ning's expressions changed drastically.

However, before the Ning family could say anything, a villager behind them couldn't stand it anymore.

He stepped forward and said, "You brat whoever came from who-knows-where, don't talk nonsense! The Ning family is already heartbroken because their child died, aren't you just rubbing salt into their wounds? Huh?"

Many people agreed with him.

"Exactly, how could it be like this?"

"She's quite pretty, but why is she so sarcastic?"

"As expected of Mr. Huang's friend, just like Mr. Huang, he has a bad temper and a sharp tongue."

"Tsk tsk, black-hearted."

Shen Sixi raised an eyebrow: "Wait, something's not right. Why do you all believe what the Ning family says when I say they're heartless, and tacitly agree that they imprisoned people?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

Zhong Mengze: "That's right, it's all just empty talk. How can you believe what the Ning family says? You're just playing favorites and you don't dare offend the Ning family!"

Then everyone started criticizing Zhong Mengze again.

How could Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong stand by and watch their son be scolded by the villagers? They immediately spoke up to defend him.

The two sides started arguing again.

Seeing this scene, Shen Sixi took out her phone and calmly pressed a few buttons.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. I'm telling you, I wasn't just talking nonsense. I have evidence," she said.
