"But still.." Han Jie did not trust the officials or the rich. One must have to know that her father travelled thousands of miles from the prosperous capital to come to this rotten place. He was transferred to this place because the emperor wanted Han Ju to make a change.
However, the Old Madam Lai! She caused her father's life to become desolate. Her father was filled with dreams and ambitions when he arrived in this city but the second he lost his leg, all the dreams that he had shattered into pieces!
And it was all because of that darned Lai family. More importantly, the Lai family was so deeply involved with the officials that despite them looking for justice for their father, the officials never helped them. They even told them that they should forget what happened and move on, only Yun Zhao was willing to show a bit of sympathy to their family.
If he hadn't helped them get the retirement funds, Han Jie was sure that their family was done for.
