Tang Li had been dealing with Lai Wenyan all her life, so she was well aware of his nature.
— Suspicious, and sometimes even moody.
Especially when Tang Shen or Tang Yin were mentioned, Lai Wenyan's nerves became extraordinarily sensitive.
In her previous life, she feared this father of hers largely because of Lai Wenyan's temperament, once believing that people who mingled in officialdom were all so 'profound'. In this life, after learning the ins and outs of Lai Wenyan's achievements, she finally understood that his unpredictable moods were merely the aftereffects of having engaged in too many guilty deeds.
Back then, Lai Wenyan killed surrendering soldiers and claimed false credit. Even though the truth was covered up, the fact that he got promoted because of it meant he was forever bound to this deed.
Moreover, it's not as if no one knew the truth back then.
Ren Zhengxiong was still alive and well, serving as a department head in Shangbu.
