Chapter 143 News about Nangong Yi's Wedding

On the bustling streets of the imperial city, the good news spread quickly like a spring breeze. Nangong Yi, the young master of the Nangong family, was about to marry Zhao Wan'er, the daughter of the Zhao family. People were talking about it in the streets and alleys, and they were all excited about this grand marriage. However, in this festive atmosphere, there was one person who felt deeply painful and betrayed, and that was Lin Ruoxue.

Lin Ruoxue was sitting in her exquisite boudoir, embroidering a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. Her craftsmanship was exquisite, and every stitch and thread revealed her longing for a better life in the future. However, a quick knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Ruoxue, Ruoxue, have you heard? Nangong Yi is getting married!" Her personal maid Xiaotao ran in breathlessly with an excited smile on her face.

Lin Ruoxue's hand trembled, and the embroidery needle accidentally pierced her fingertips. A drop of bright red blood was particularly dazzling on the white silk. An inexplicable panic surged in her heart, "What did you say? Nangong Yi is getting married?"

Xiao Tao didn't notice Lin Ruoxue's strangeness and continued to speak excitedly, "Yes, I heard that the bride is the daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Wan'er. Their wedding will be the grandest celebration in the imperial city!"

Lin Ruoxue's heart was blank, and she felt that her world had collapsed in an instant. Nangong Yi, the man who had once made a vow to her, was actually going to marry someone else.

"No, this is impossible." Lin Ruoxue murmured to herself, "He said he would be with me forever, how could he break his oath?"

Xiao Tao then realized that something was wrong with Lin Ruoxue, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You and the Third Prince..."

Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "Xiao Tao, please go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

Xiao Tao looked at Lin Ruoxue worriedly and retreated silently. Lin Ruoxue looked at the glaring blood drop, her heart filled with pain and confusion. She recalled every bit of her time with Nangong Yi, those sweet vows, those beautiful memories, now all shattered.

Lin Ruoxue locked herself in the room. She didn't want to believe it was true. Nangong Yi's figure, his smile, his gentleness, and his promise kept appearing in her mind. She didn't understand why Nangong Yi would betray her.

"Why? Why do you do this to me?" Lin Ruoxue's eyes were blurred by tears, and her voice was choked with sobs.

She felt deeply betrayed, her heart was cut by a sharp knife, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe. She once thought that Nangong Yi was her destined partner and their love would last forever, but reality dealt her a heavy blow.

"Is our love so fragile? Are all the oaths he made to me false?" Lin Ruoxue's heart was filled with despair and anger.

She stood up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling scene outside, but her heart was filled with sadness. She thought of the streets they had walked on together, the scenery they had seen together, and the promises they had made together. Now, all of this had become so distant and so strange.

As night fell, the entire imperial city was immersed in a festive atmosphere, but Lin Ruoxue's room seemed particularly deserted. She sat alone in front of the window, looking at the stars in the night sky, her heart filled with despair.

"Ruoxue, are you okay?" Xiaotao looked at Lin Ruoxue worriedly, her eyes full of concern.

Lin Ruoxue did not answer, her tears flowed silently, she felt abandoned by the whole world. She once thought that her love with Nangong Yi would overcome everything, but now, she was left with endless pain and loneliness.

"Ruoxue, you can't torture yourself like this." Xiao Tao walked to Lin Ruoxue and hugged her gently, "You still have me and your family. We will always be with you."

Lin Ruoxue felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that Xiaotao's words were sincere. She held Xiaotao's hand tightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes, "Thank you, Xiaotao. I will be strong."

"But, Miss, can you really let go of Young Master Nangong?" Xiao Tao asked cautiously.

Lin Ruoxue was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I don't know, but I know I can't go on like this. I want to live for myself and can't let his betrayal ruin my life."

Xiao Tao nodded, "Miss, you are right. You are so good, you will definitely meet someone better."

Lin Ruoxue wiped the tears from her face and looked at the stars in the night sky, her heart filled with confusion and fear about the future. She didn't know how she should face this world without Nangong Yi, but she knew that she had to be strong, for herself and for those who cared about her.
