Chapter 200 A conspiracy
Yao Yao stood not far away, watching Bai Zixuan and Lin Ruoxue's affectionate appearance, the jealousy in her heart burned like a flame. She rolled her eyes and came up with a plan. Yao Yao tilted her head slightly and whispered to the maid beside her: "Go, secretly put my gold hairpin on that woman." The maid nodded slightly, a hint of nervousness flashed in her eyes, but she still followed the order.
The maid quietly approached Lin Ruoxue, who was happily talking to Bai Zixuan at the time, and was completely unaware of the approaching danger. The maid took advantage of Lin Ruoxue's inattention and quickly stuffed the hairpin into her sleeve. After completing the task, the maid quickly retreated to Yao Yao's side, lowered her head slightly, and waited for the next instruction.
Yao Yao watched everything go smoothly, with a smug smile on her face. She straightened her gorgeous dress and walked to Lin Ruoxue and Bai Zixuan with her servants. Yao Yao pretended to be surprised, her eyes wide open, her finger pointed directly at Lin Ruoxue, and shouted: "You thief, how dare you steal my hairpin!"
Lin Ruoxue was bewildered. She stared with wide eyes, unable to believe her ears. She subconsciously touched her sleeves and denied: "I didn't steal your hairpin." Her heart was filled with shock and grievance. Why was she slandered as a thief? Her eyes revealed innocence and confusion, like a wounded deer.
Bai Zixuan frowned, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood in front of Lin Ruoxue, looked at Yao Yao coldly, and said in a firm tone: "Don't slander me. Ruoxue is definitely not that kind of person."
Yao Yao refused to give in. She put her hands on her hips, her eyes full of arrogance. "Humph, the evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it. Bai Zixuan, look at the woman next to you, she is a thief. Only a lady from a noble family like me is worthy of you."
People gradually gathered around and pointed at Lin Ruoxue. Their eyes were full of suspicion and accusation, as if Lin Ruoxue was really a thief. Lin Ruoxue felt very aggrieved, her eyes gradually turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes. She didn't understand why this happened. She didn't do anything, but she was slandered as a thief.
Her heart was filled with pain and struggle. She wanted to explain, but found her voice was so weak amid the accusations of the crowd. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to let the tears flow down. She felt as if she was trapped in a dark vortex and couldn't extricate herself.
Bai Zixuan held her hand tightly, giving her strength. His eyes were full of determination and trust, as if telling Lin Ruoxue that he would always stand by her side. He looked at Yao Yao, his eyes full of anger: "What evidence do you have that Ruoxue is a thief?"
Yao Yao smiled triumphantly, waved her hand, and asked the servants to search Lin Ruoxue's body. The servants immediately stepped forward and searched her body regardless of Lin Ruoxue's resistance. Sure enough, they found the gold hairpin in Lin Ruoxue's sleeve. Lin Ruoxue looked at the gold hairpin, and her heart was filled with despair. She didn't know how to explain all this, she just felt that her world collapsed at this moment.
Lin Ruoxue's mind went blank, and despair overwhelmed her like a tide. Her eyes were full of disbelief. How could this happen? Why did this golden hairpin appear in her sleeve? She tried hard to recall, but she couldn't remember how this golden hairpin got on her.
She felt extremely wronged, tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to shout out her innocence, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound. She looked at the questioning eyes around her and her heart was filled with pain. She felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world and no one would believe her.
She was filled with self-blame. Why did she let such a thing happen? She began to doubt herself, whether she had really done something wrong. She thought of Bai Zixuan, the man who had always been by her side. How would he see her now? Would he believe that she was innocent? Or would he think of her as a thief like everyone else?
Lin Ruoxue's heart was trembling. She didn't know how to face this sudden predicament. She felt that she was trapped in an endless dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of light and hope. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that someone would believe in her and help her get out of this terrible situation.
Lin Ruoxue's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, painful and suffocating. She looked helplessly at the suspicious and accusing eyes around her, as if she had been nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Why is this happening? I clearly didn't steal anything, so why is this hairpin on me?" Lin Ruoxue asked herself over and over again. She felt like a fallen leaf, struggling helplessly in the wind of fate.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She didn't want to show her weakness in front of these people, but the grievances in her heart kept hitting her defenses like surging waves.
"What should I do? Who can come and save me?" Lin Ruoxue felt unprecedented loneliness and despair. She thought of Bai Zixuan, the man who gave her warmth and strength. But at this moment, she was afraid to see his disappointed eyes, afraid that he would also think she was a thief.
She lowered her head helplessly, her hands clenched into fists. She hated her own powerlessness, hated her inability to explain all this. She felt like she was trapped in a quagmire that she couldn't escape from, and the more she struggled, the deeper she sank.
"Is my life going to be ruined like this? I can't accept this, I really can't accept this." Lin Ruoxue screamed in her heart, but no one could hear her voice. She could only bear this helplessness and grievance alone, waiting for the judgment of fate.
