Chapter 466 Lady Jin’s Arrival and Confrontation (4)_1
Lin Ershuan didn’t expect Jin Lingling to turn the tables on him again, and he quickly retorted, "No, no, this isn’t my handiwork. Miss, if you don’t believe me, you are fully welcome to come and see for yourself. This, and this, the wooden pegs of these two wheels are completely different. You can tell at a glance which was made by me and which was not."
It’s the same with carpenters, as it is with anyone else who works with their hands; they can recognize their own work no matter how much time has passed. The Jin family runs a vinegar brewery and couldn’t possibly fail to recognize their own vinegar if they tasted it elsewhere. What Lin Ershuan explained was precisely this concept.
Lin Yuan looked at Jin Lingling with cold eyes, her voice full of discontent, "Second Miss Jin, how can you be so certain that this wheelchair was tampered with by my brother? May I ask, he’s never even met Old Lady Jin face to face, so why would he want to harm her? Besides, if he really wanted to harm her, he most certainly wouldn’t meddle with his own work – wouldn’t that be too obvious? If even you could grasp at this, couldn’t others see it too?"
"Maybe he did it on purpose! Or perhaps, someone bought him off to do someone else’s dirty work!" Jin Lingling implied with her words, only to realize after speaking that Lin Yuan’s last sentence seemed like an insult to her.
Well, Lin Yuan, you dare to insult people in Jin Mansion, thinking just because you are from Fuman Building, you can behave so recklessly!
Before Jin Lingling could retort, Lin Yuan had already turned to Lady Jin and said, "Madam, since my brother has found the fault in this wheelchair, it proves his innocence. Furthermore, he said that the wooden peg has been replaced and not made by him – there must be a reason for that. Why not we ask Madam to visit his shop and look for a matching peg? If it can be found, we will admit our fault. However, if it cannot, I ask Madam to be fair and not accuse us of unfounded crimes."
