?Chapter 889: 409 Breakthrough (Second Update) Chapter 889: 409 Breakthrough (Second Update) “You’re talking nonsense!” Manager Wu said sternly, “How could it possibly be broken? Are you insinuating that we dropped the inkstone and are blaming it on your Hanlin Academy?”

Ning Zhiyuan had his doubts as well, but since no one believed him, he felt so constrained that he didn’t dare to voice his questions. Now that Xiao Liulang had spoken up, he found a bit of confidence to add, “I also don’t think it was me who broke it. The floor below is wooden, and the object wasn’t placed very high. Who knows how it lightly tapped and then split in two…”

Scholar Han turned to Xiao Liulang, “Do you have any evidence?”

While he didn’t wish for Ning Zhiyuan to be guilty, he wouldn’t absolve Ning Zhiyuan by making someone else take the blame either. Princess Xinyang was not someone with a good temper, and the consequences of slandering her servants were severe.

Xiao Liulang presented the inkstone to Scholar Han, “This crack is quite old, and there are traces of fish bladder glue used to mend it. If the managers do not believe it, they are welcome to invite Doctor Nie from our Hanlin Academy and the libationer from Guozijian for a look, they would know at a glance.”

Doctor Nie is the one who is proficient in restoring antiques among the Masters of the Five Classics.

And there’s no need to mention the old libationer; not only could he authenticate antiques, he could also forge them.

Upon hearing this, Scholar Han immediately sent people to the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian to invite the experts over.

After a careful examination, the two experts confirmed Xiao Liulang’s claim was not false; the inkstone had indeed been damaged for some years.
