He even went so far as to bow down to his eldest son and his wife.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Qin Yushen exchanged a deep look, both seeing speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Does Zhao Yu think the same way?"

“He doesn’t know.” He Meng subconsciously defended her youngest son, “I heard from Lao Zhao a while ago that he’s been training harder than before.”

"Isn't what you're doing insulting him?" Lin Xiaoxiao thought He Meng's thought process was quite bizarre. "He is a soldier, and it is his duty to protect the country. He should have had that awareness when he put on that uniform."

"But if he wants to be a deserter, then we have nothing to say."

He Meng retorted, "Xiao Yu is not a deserter. It's just that I didn't want him to go to the battlefield. Don't slander him."

Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "You really are a parent who loves their child dearly."

Qin Yushen also glanced at her, his face expressionless, but his eyes were like pebbles breaking the calm surface of a lake, revealing his inner feelings.

"Yu Shen, please help your brother just this once, just this once, okay?" He Meng looked at Qin Yu Shen with hopeful eyes.

Her pleading eyes revealed a humility she had never shown before, and all of this stemmed from a mother's most sincere worry for her son.

But not to him.

Qin Yu smiled slightly, his heart remaining completely unmoved.

“I can’t make this decision myself. You should go and discuss it with Commander Zhao.”

Lin Xiaoxiao added, "Perhaps you should ask Zhao Yu what he thinks first."

If He Meng really used her connections to transfer Zhao Yu away from the Jiangcheng Military Region, it would be equivalent to Zhao Yu deserting without his knowledge.

I really don't know what He Meng was thinking, going to such lengths to make her son a deserter.
