Chapter 65, Jade Pendant_1

```

Yan Zhigao hurried to the post station, his heart filled with anxiety. First, he worried that his children were being bullied, and second, he feared someone would take the opportunity to undermine him, causing him to lose his position as County Magistrate.

He wasn't naive, having served as County Magistrate in Zhongzhou Province for nine years. Although he hadn't built many connections, he would still catch wind of certain developments. His lack of promotion these years had been due to someone above suppressing him.

He didn't know what exactly had happened at the station, but he believed in the son he had raised.

Ever since his eldest son had become a Scholar, whenever there was time, Yan Zhigao would explain the intricacies of officialdom to him, as well as analyze the future prospects of the Yan Family.
