Quan An was in such severe pain that he could only hope that Lin Yue would let him off soon. He answered every question like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, not caring whether he should reveal such information. It could have been that the pain had muddled his brain. Only after speaking did it occur to him that something might not be right. By saying such things, would it make Lin Yue even angrier and result in harsher treatment?
Listening to Quan An's words, Lin Yue also began to understand their meaning. It turned out that while Ceng Lu had his sights set on her, it was Quan An who instigated this incident. It was not Ceng Lu's doing at all, which explained why Liu Aniu's spies and bribed informants detected no abnormalities. It was all because Quan An had stirred up trouble just to curry favor with Ceng Lu. However, this showed that Quan An's audacity was quite over the top.
