The Legend of the Medical Concubine

Chapter 203 Witness

Bai Zixuan looked at Yao Yao, whose face was pale, and the anger in his heart had not completely dissipated. He knew that it was not enough to just get the maid to confess, and there must be more solid evidence to thoroughly prove Lin Ruoxue's innocence.

He looked around, the crowd at the temple fair was still whispering, and those suspicious eyes made Bai Zixuan more determined to clear Lin Ruoxue's grievances. He carefully observed the gold hairpin again, and suddenly thought that such an exquisite gold hairpin must not be worn casually. Yao Yao must have been followed by many servants when she went out, and perhaps someone saw the maid's little action.

Bai Zixuan immediately ordered his confidants to ask the servants that Yao Yao had brought with her. Some servants began to waver under Bai Zixuan's majesty. One of the timid servants secretly glanced at Yao Yao, then at Bai Zixuan, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Sir, I did see the young lady's maid sneaking around this girl, but I wasn't sure what she was doing at the time."

Bai Zixuan's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" The servant nodded quickly: "I am sure. I was wondering why the maid acted like that at the time, but now I think she must be framing the girl."

With the servant's testimony, Bai Zixuan was more confident. He faced the crowd again, held up the gold hairpin and the servant's testimony, and said loudly: "Everyone, now the evidence is irrefutable. It was Yao Yao who deliberately framed Ruoxue. Ruoxue is innocent. She has never stolen this gold hairpin."

Some people in the crowd began to speak up for Lin Ruoxue and accused Yao Yao of her bad behavior. Bai Zixuan turned to look at Lin Ruoxue, his eyes full of tenderness and relief. He gently held Lin Ruoxue's hand and said, "Ruoxue, look, the truth has come out, you don't need to suffer any more injustice."

Tears flashed in Lin Ruoxue's eyes. She was moved by everything Bai Zixuan had done for her. She held Bai Zixuan's hand tightly, her heart filled with warmth and strength.

At this moment, Yao Yao was ashamed by the accusations of the crowd. She knew that her plot had completely failed and she could no longer save the situation. She could only lower her head and silently bear the bitter fruit of her own actions.

Bai Zixuan tightly protected Lin Ruoxue behind him, and his eyes swept across everyone, especially Yao Yao. His voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the air.

"Everyone, listen to me. I know Ruoxue very well. She is gentle and kind, and would never steal. Besides, look at the jewelry on Ruoxue, which one is not more valuable than this gold hairpin? If she really wanted to steal, she would steal something more valuable, why would she steal this small gold hairpin?"

Bai Zixuan pointed at the jewelry on Lin Ruoxue, which sparkled brightly in the sun. A pearl necklace, each pearl was round and full, exuding a soft luster; a pair of jade earrings, with a warm texture and exquisite carvings; and a gem bracelet on her hand, colorful and radiant.

"Yao Yao, you used all means to frame Ruoxue for your own selfish desires, which is really despicable. Your behavior not only hurt Ruoxue, but also put yourself in an unjust situation. Everyone saw what happened today clearly, what else do you have to say?" Bai Zixuan glared at Yao Yao, the anger in his eyes seemed to burn her to death.

Lin Ruoxue's heart was filled with an indescribable warmth and emotion. She looked at Bai Zixuan's determined back, as if she saw a mountain she could rely on.

"Zixuan, why are you so good to me? When everyone doubted me, you were the only one who stood by me without hesitation." Lin Ruoxue asked silently in her heart. She felt that she was so lucky to meet such an affectionate and brave man like Bai Zixuan.

She held Bai Zixuan's hand tightly, feeling his warmth and strength. At that moment, she seemed to hold the whole world. She knew that no matter how many difficulties and challenges she would encounter in the future, as long as Bai Zixuan was by her side, she would not be afraid of anything.

"I must cherish this relationship and not let Zixuan down." Lin Ruoxue secretly made up her mind. She decided that from now on, she would face everything in life more bravely and not be easily defeated by difficulties.

She looked at Bai Zixuan with eyes full of gratitude and love. She knew that this love would become the most precious wealth in her life and accompany her through every stage of her life.

The crowd around them also began to talk, and the noisy voices filled the air like a buzzing bee. Their eyes were fixed on Lin Ruoxue and Yao Yao, with all kinds of complicated expressions on their faces.

A middle-aged man in coarse cloth looked at the jewelry on Lin Ruoxue, then at the gold hairpin, frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Yes, the jewelry on this girl is obviously not ordinary. The gems are sparkling, and the workmanship of the gold and silver is extremely fine. How could she steal a gold hairpin when she wears such precious jewelry? This is totally unreasonable."

A woman holding a basket of vegetables beside her also nodded and agreed, "That's right. This rich girl must be jealous of others, so she came up with such a vicious plan. This girl is so pretty and has clear eyes. How can she be a thief? This rich girl is too much. Can she bully others at will just because she has a little money?"

A young man who looked like a scholar couldn't help but speak up: "It's hard to tell what's true and what's false in this world. But anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened today. This girl must have been wronged. The behavior of this rich girl is really despicable."

An old man stroked his beard and sighed, "In today's world, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. This girl was framed for no reason, which is really pitiful. I hope this gentleman can seek justice for her and not let such a kind person suffer injustice."

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another. Their words were full of sympathy for Lin Ruoxue and accusations against Yao Yao, which made Yao Yao look even uglier. Lin Ruoxue stood beside Bai Zixuan, listening to everyone's discussion, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that she was not alone, and in this strange world, there were still many kind people willing to believe in her.
