"And my father, Marquis Xuanping, was born during a time of national crisis. With a pure heart, he joined the army to guard the northern border at a young age. He spent half his life in the military, enduring countless life-and-death trials, his body covered with scars, but he never complained. This was because loyalty and love for his country and its people were deeply ingrained in his blood."

"Similarly, as members of the Shen family, we received a rigorous education from a young age. The first word we learned was 'Serve the country with loyalty and devotion.' These four words are like a brand, deeply engraved in our souls and regarded as a family motto passed down from generation to generation.

The sons of the Shen family begin training in martial arts at the age of three. At the age of twelve, they follow their father into the military camp, undergoing even more arduous training. At the age of fifteen, they must go to the battlefield alone, charging into battle, and no one is spared.

"My father and brothers have been steadfast at the border fortresses for decades, day after day, year after year, willingly sacrificing their lives to protect the peace of our homeland.

Every inch of land along the border is soaked with their sweat, bearing witness to their bravery and unyielding steadfastness. It is precisely because of their selfless dedication that the Beiling Dynasty enjoys prosperity and lasting peace.

The more Shen Qingge spoke, the more earnest her words became. She wasn't seeking to clear her father and brother's name, she just wanted to show these servile people what a real man is, who is the true hero who stands tall and proud!

So she led everyone to recall the past stories of the Zhenbei Army.

"I still remember the thrilling Battle of Mohe three years ago, when the Zhenbei Army and the Beirong Tribe engaged in a life-and-death struggle. At that time, the main force of the Zhenbei Army was surrounded, attacked from both sides, suffered heavy losses, and was in danger of being annihilated.

Did any of our Zhenbei Army soldiers desert the battlefield? Of course not! They knew that if they chose to retreat, the border would fall, and the innocent people living in the border areas would be plunged into dire straits!

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with the sound of killing, and blood flowed freely like rivers. Countless brave and fearless soldiers of the Zhenbei Army fought bravely, risking their lives to protect the unarmed civilians behind them, and to protect them from the ravages of war.

At this critical moment, thanks to the eldest brother Shen Feng leading a team of elite light cavalry, they risked their lives to launch a surprise attack deep into the enemy's rear, which gave the main force of the Zhenbei Army a fighting chance. Otherwise, the Zhenbei Army would have been completely defeated, the Beirong would have advanced straight into the country, and the country would have been destroyed.

If that were the case, how would you have the opportunity to live a peaceful life of luxury and show off your power in the court and provoke national heroes? "

As she spoke, the expressions of the prisoners gradually became complicated. Some of them even lowered their heads in shame. No one answered her questions.

She also used this opportunity to raise a soul-searching question:

"How could a father who single-handedly trained such an indestructible, loyal, and courageous warrior betray his own country? Furthermore, my father's military exploits were illustrious, and he had long been made a marquis and prime minister, a high-ranking official. The entire Shen family enjoyed the highest honor, so how could he betray his master for personal gain? What was he after? To have his entire family annihilated and his body destroyed?"

Shen Qingge seemed to be asking questions, but in fact he was talking to himself. His tone was firm and powerful, and everyone in the Shen family had tears in their eyes.

The officers were speechless, a few even showing a flicker of sadness in their eyes. Martial artists, to some degree, harbored a deep patriotism, and who didn't idolize General Shen? Now, the Shen family had suffered such a tragedy, and they couldn't help but feel a pity.

"Once wronged, the Shen family's achievements are completely wiped out! You people enjoy the prosperity and peace that my father and brother fought for with their lives, but you turn the knife on their family. You have never done anything in your life, but you only have the ability to talk nonsense and help the evil. You are a dog with a broken spine, and you dare to bark in front of the Shen family! Don't you know that the way of heaven is clear? People can be deceived, but the heart cannot be deceived; cause and effect are clear, and heaven and earth will not deceive! When the time comes, you who take advantage of others' misfortune will be the ones to suffer!"

Shen Qingge's words were awe-inspiring and his voice was like a loud bell, reaching people's hearts. In the end, some people in the crowd could not bear it.

First up was Madam Liu of the Liu family. Her eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down her face, and shame washed over her. In reality, she had always held deep respect for Marquis Shen, but had been deceived and misled by someone with ulterior motives.

However, ever since they had received the Shen family's kindness during their exile, the Liu family had long since gotten over their grudges and were grateful to the Shen family. At this moment, she resolutely chose to stand firmly on the Shen family's side.

As for the other noble families, their faces turned red with anger, but no one dared to refute them.

As for Wu Yujie, who was held in Shen Qingge's arms, she was now even more terrified, her body shaking violently and uncontrollably. She was terrified, fearing that if she wasn't careful, Shen Qingge would mercilessly break her neck.

At this moment, Shen Qingge suddenly turned around, staring intently at Wu Yujie with a pair of eyes that were icy cold. He said slowly, "So, do you know who you've offended so badly? I don't want to be associated with you, and I've tolerated you time and time again, but you actually dared to hurt my blood relatives of the Shen family! This is intolerable!"

After saying that, she threw Wu Yujie out heavily, causing her to spit out blood.

The Wu family was completely panicked. The head of the Wu family, Wu Qing, quickly stepped forward and apologized profusely, "Miss Shen, my daughter's mistake was unintentional. Please forgive me. I'm here to apologize to you and the Shen family!"

Don't say Shen Qingge won't forgive. Her sister-in-law Wang Lan was the first to speak up: "Oh, it's an unintentional mistake, that's easy to say. But your precious daughter has been causing trouble time and time again. I think she's a vicious person, rotten to the core! I don't believe she will repent!"

Wu Qing had no choice but to flatter the officials and ask for help.

The officials had different expressions. Some were still immersed in Shen Qingge's passionate speech, especially Li Tian, ​​whose attitude towards the Shen family was obviously compromised; some were gloomy and had sinister eyes. Her words touched the dark corners of their hearts and made them feel resentful.

But they all remained in place, waiting for orders from the captain Wang Gui.

To be honest, there was a moment when Wang Gui was touched by Shen Qingge's words and was shocked by her powerful aura, but his expression was still unfriendly.

After decades of hard work, his heart has long been as hard as iron. What righteousness of the country, national sentiment, bah! I only believe that if you don't work for yourself, heaven will punish you and earth will destroy you. Whoever is in power will be eliminated!

However, his expression changed drastically, and he tried to make a small matter out of a big deal, for no other reason than that he seemed to have noticed a clue.
