Cao Yongchang had been beaten by Li Yan till his skin split and flesh burst open, and now he couldn't even get out of bed. It wasn't that Li Yan was taking his private revenge through public affairs; the matter concerned the reputation of a woman. Being whipped was enough to settle the issue, and Li Yan had showed his face in the matter. Besides, Cao Yongchang really had been too brash, and no one else could be blamed for that.
"I'm saying, do you have a thing for that girl? Why were you so relentlessly pestering her?"
Cha Xiaodao was applying golden sore medicine to Cao Yongchang.
Cao Yongchang didn't dare to move, and said with a pitiful expression, "I don't have that kind of interest. She brought me soup in confinement to show her apology, so I had to show some decency! I was out of my mind at the time, that's why I forgot to call out. So, I got what I deserved! These past few days, I felt confused, like I lost my soul."
