Bai Wutong went to the textile factory to check on the spindleless textile machine. Jin Linglong said eagerly, “Consort, this is the textile machine that my husband and I have modified.”
Jin Linglong and Zhang Jing both thought that Lin Siyu had accepted her fate, so they really treated the spindleless textile machine as their own invention.
They spoke so openly that Bai Wutong could not tell anything amiss.
The spindleless textile machine already had some similarities to modern textile machines. Jin Linglong skillfully operated and demonstrated, and soon weaved a section of white cotton cloth.
Bai Wutong looked at the excited Zhang Jing and was about to praise him when a female voice suddenly broke the harmonious atmosphere.
“Greetings, Consort!”
When Jin Linglong heard Lin Siyu’s voice, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously wanted to drag Lin Siyu away.
…..
Lin Siyu’s gaze was firm as she stood still. Jin Linglong secretly threatened,
“The Consort won’t believe you. If you don’t want to be thrown out, get lost!’
Zhang Jing’s heart skipped a beat. He secretly observed Bai Wutong’s expression and his mind spun quickly to think of a countermeasure.
Lin Siyu had carefully asked around about Zhao Sheng’s character. He would definitely not ruin his reputation for a little money.
Therefore, what Zhang Jing said could not be true.
Right from the beginning, only Zhang Jing and his wife wanted to claim the machine for themselves.
Now that she and Jiang Cong had created a sewing machine, she would definitely be able to convince the Consort that she had thought of the spindleless sewing machine.
After Bai Wutong practiced martial arts, her ears were sharp. She heard all of Jin Linglong’s threats to Lin Siyu.
Bai Wutong looked at Lin Siyu, who had mustered her courage. “What’s the matter?”
When Bai Wutong asked, the dark guard immediately pushed Jin Linglong away from Lin Siyu.
Everyone’s gazes landed on Lin Siyu. Lin Siyu was a little nervous. Thinking that her success or failure depended on this, she said respectfully, “Consort, I’m here to expose Zhang Jing and Jin Linglong! I actually came up with the spindleless sewing machine and ask Factory Head Zhao to draw a blueprint for
As soon as she said this, Zheng Guo, who was the in charge of the project, had a change in his expression.
He had failed to check carefully and the matter was even revealed directly to the Consort.
Zheng Guo was even more anxious than Zhang Jing. ‘Why didn’t you speak up before?”
Lin Siyu hurriedly said, “It’s not that I don’t want to speak up, but Zhang Jing threatened and lied to me. He said that it was Factory Manager Zhao’s idea. If I get in the way of Factory Manager Zhao and his money, he will ask his buddies from the quarry to teach my son a lesson!”
“My status is low. I was afraid that my son would be retaliated, so I didn’t dare to raise up to the Consort.”
“They even wanted to give me 50 taels of silver to shut me up. My original intention in creating the spindleless sewing machine was to regain my son’s freedom. They claimed my idea, and I was so angry that I couldn’t bear it and didn’t take a single cent. If the Consort has any doubts, you can ask Factory Head Zhao.”
When Zheng Guo heard this, his face froze.
If it wasn’t true, how could Lin Siyu dare to confront them directly?
He had been careless. He did not expect someone to really have the guts to deceive the government and snatch other people’s hard work.
Jin Linglong’s legs went weak. She was about to say, “Consort, please forgive me!”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhang Jing, who was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, shouted, “She’s spouting nonsense. My wife unintentionally told her about the spindleless sewing machine. She had crooked thoughts and deliberately went to Factory Manager Zhao to ask him to draw the blueprint. From the beginning, she was the one who wanted to steal our idea!”
When Jin Linglong heard Zhang Jing’s words, she suddenly reacted and immediately played the blame game. She pointed at Lin Siyu and scolded,
“She’s shameless. I did not argue with her, but she even ran to Factory Manager
Zhao to draw a blueprint to confuse the public and went so far to frame us!”
She said pitifully to Bai Wutong, “Consort, it’s all her fault. She can’t bear to see us doing well. Factory Manager Zhao didn’t know, so she thought that she could replace us. I really misjudged her and even treated her as a close sister.
Boohoo
This time, it was really a little difficult to explain. After all, Jin Linglong and Lin Siyu were really from the same workshop, and they usually had contact.
Jin Linglong’s words also had a certain credibility.
Lin Siyu was also a little surprised that Jin Linglong would say that.
Just as she was about to explain, Zhao Sheng was hurriedly called over by the dark guard.
For the past few days, he had been so busy studying wood-plank machinery with the blacksmiths that his feet had not touched the ground.
Bai Wutong suddenly sent someone to call him over, so he still had a head full of sawdust.
Bai Wutong asked, “This female worker said that you helped her draw the blueprint for the spindleless sewing machine. Is that true?’
Zhao Sheng had a deep impression of Lin Siyu and immediately nodded. “Yes.” He still did not know that Zhang Jing had applied for a patent using Lin Siyu’s machine.
Bai Wutong asked again, “Were you the one who asked Zhang Jing to make the sewing machine from the beginning?”
Zhao Sheng said without hesitation, “Yes I did.”
Zhang Jing hurriedly interrupted, “Although it was instructed by Factory Manager Zhao, I was already working on the sewing machine at that time. I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted to give my wife a surprise!”
‘Who knew that after we gave her a chance, she would turn around and backstab us!’
Zhao Sheng was a little confused.
Lin Siyu hurriedly shouted, “Consort, they’re talking nonsense. I’ve never said a word to Jin Linglong in the workshop!”
“Moreover, if this was their idea from the beginning, why didn’t they get angry when I asked Factory Manager Zhao to draw the blueprint? They even let me pay for the customisation of the spindleless sewing machine!’
Zhang Jing hurriedly said, “She was the one who begged us, so we softened our hearts and let her go. Moreover, we already needed to spend money to customize the spindleless sewing machine. She helped us pay the silver because she promised to compensate us!’
The three of them went back and forth. Who exactly made the spindleless sewing machine? For a moment, it became confusing.
Zheng Guo was more inclined to the spindleless textile machine being designed by Zhang Jing and Jin Linglong. Firstly, he would not be held accountable. Secondly, Zhang Jing was a blacksmith and Jin Linglong was an official worker in the textile factory. The possibility of building a spindleless sewing machine was indeed higher.
When Zhao Sheng heard everyone’s discussion, he finally understood what had happened. He frowned and leaned more towards Lin Siyu because when he instructed Zhang Jing to help Lin Siyu make the sewing machine, Zhang Jing took the blueprint and was not surprised at all.
Just as everyone was discussing how Bai Wutong would judge the case, Bai Wutong suddenly asked Jin Linglong and Lin Siyu, “Since you all say that it’s your own idea, what’s the principle behind the operation of the machine?”
As soon as these words were spoken, Jin Linglong was stunned.
How would she know what the principle of the spindleless textile machine was!
Zhang Jing was also a little anxious. He wanted to explain the operation of the machine on behalf of Jin Linglong, but he was stopped by Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong said, “Since it’s her idea, she shouldn’t be unable to answer the basic principle. ‘
Jin Linglong’s face darkened. Lin Siyu took a step forward and said confidently, “Consort, the principle of the spindleless textile machine is to use cylinders to store the threads. It enters the fuse structure through the wire storage device, causing the machine to reduce the frequent rewiring movements and thereby increase the speed of the sewing machine.”
