The Meng Family!
Although the current Family Head Meng Wu, who also serves as Shangjiangjun, does not command the same prestige as Wang Jian.
Yet within Qin, compared to the Wang Family's more entrenched roots and greater reputation, the Meng Family stands taller.
For the Meng Family has served Qin through three generations, unwaveringly loyal to royal authority—a military house devoted to the crown. Though Meng Wu's standing falls short of Wang Jian, the Meng Family still has a retired elder, Meng Ao.
Once a Great Qin General, he was the right-hand man of Lord Wu'an Bai Qi in former days.
The Meng Family, though old nobility, abstained from factional clashes with the new aristocracy; hence, neither side in the court dares offend them.
