Qi family? Which Qi family?\" Yan Zhenming was momentarily unsure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard, perhaps emboldened by working with Chu Heng, nodded knowingly, dispelling Yan Zhenming’s hope of avoiding serious trouble: \"It’s the Minister Qi’s family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Young Master Qi Second Son, Qi Zhen, is the second son of the second household; his elder brother Qi Yuan is the scholar who criticized the novel ’The Imperial Examination Path’ some time ago, known as Young Master Qi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zhenming’s hand trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long known that, having entered the Official Gazette Office, future ambitions might increasingly infringe upon the interests of those in power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he intended to focus his efforts on the commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the office running smoothly these days, the regular reports would be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in high positions should also restrain themselves, absolutely unwilling to hand evidence over to the official newspaper, so he only needed to care for the commoners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, he considered it as benefiting the people.\u003C\u002Fp>",607,"2026-06-05T23:54:43.404Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d22590e4474c76b88671653cb236f4c8db563c35f456d58c25f72391f8160de","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-2178","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-2176",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
