After hearing Yu Yongs words, He Xi took a while to react. She held Yu Yong’s hand and said, “You mean, you want me to beg Song Yao to write a letter of understanding?”

Yu Yong nodded with difficulty. “Sister-in-law, I know this is very difficult for you. After all, you had a good relationship with Song Yao before, but Brother is definitely going to jail now. Can you bear to watch him be locked up for more than a year?”

Upon hearing this, He Xi’s eyes immediately turned red.

Of course, she couldn’t bear to. Men were her heavens. If there was no man at home, how could she continue to stay in the Yu Family Village with her three sons?

Moreover, wasn’t it just a letter of understanding from Song Yao? A kind person like Song Yao wouldn’t reject her! Even if she didn’t want to, couldn’t she just beg her?

At the thought of this, although He Xi was not confident, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed. “Then I’ll give it a try.”

At night, Song Yao was drinking the pork trotter soup Zuo Huo had sent over in her room. Baby Xuan was still crying at the side,

She had to admit that what had happened last night had impacted Baby Xuan too much. He could not forget the scene of the old woman throwing the scissors at his mother.

Song Yao’s tone was even more helpless. She forced herself to pick up Baby Xuanand said, “It’S alright.

Baby Xuan, don’t be afraid. Mommy is here.”

However, it was fine if she did not comfort him. With this comforting, Baby Xuan cried even harder.

Song Yao and Zuo Huo coaxed him for a long time. Zuo Huo bought Baby Xuan a lot of his favorite snacks and toys. Only then did Baby Xuan sniff and stop crying.

“Mom… don’t be afraid…” Baby Xuan held the toy gun and said, “I’ll protect you!”

Song Yao was so touched that she panicked. “Silly Baby Xuan, Mommy doesn’t need your protection yet. It should be Mommy protecting you now. Daddy is protecting Mommy.”

Baby Xuan tilted his head and said in a childish voice, “Daddy protects Mommy? Then I’ll protect Daddy.”

“Protect Daddy?” Zuo Huo couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. “Silly Baby Xuan, we should be the ones protecting you now.”

The family of three was having a sweet time in the ward when an uninvited guest hurriedly pushed open the door.

Zuo Huo turned around and saw He Xi entering the ward with a basket of apples.

“Yao… I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you…” After saying that, she placed the apple on the bedside table and did not forget to tease the child.

“Baby Xuan, why are you so unfamiliar with me? I’m your eldest aunt.”

He Xi smiled and wanted to hug Baby Xuan.

However, when Baby Xuan saw He Xi, he hid beside Zuo Huo as if he could not avoid her.

Zuo Huo shielded Baby Xuan behind him and said calmly, “I’m sorry, my child is still young and a little shy.”

Zuo Huo did not have a good impression of Baby Xuan’s so-called Eldest Aunt. He hated the entire Yu family because of Chen Lian, and He Xi was no exception.

Moreover, judging from the time, He Xi should already know that Chen Lian and Yu Wen were in jail. Why did she come to see Song Yao as if nothing had happened?

From what Zuo Huo could tell, He Xi was up to no good!

However, Song Yao did not know the purpose of He Xi’s visit. After all, she had gotten along well with He Xi in the past. Even if she was divorced from Yu Yong, He Xi was still her former sister-in-law. She still had to be polite.

Song Yao smiled and said, “Why are you here? Take a seat!”

“There’s no need to sit.” He Xi pursed her lips and continued, “Yao, other than coming to see you today, I have something more important to do.”

Song Yao smiled. “Tell me, what is it?”

“Actually… it’s not a big deal.” He Xi paused and felt a little embarrassed. “This matter might be very simple for you, but it’s as important to us as a straw to clutch at. You’re such a kind person. You’ll help me, right?”

As soon as He Xi finished speaking, Song Yao was a little confused. Just as she was about to tell He Xi that she had something to say, He Xi said, “Yao, you heard about my man going to jail, right?”

She gritted her teeth. “To be honest, it’s my mother-in-law’s fault for hurting you, but my man didn’t do anything after all. Moreover, we were a family before this. You can’t just watch your former mother-in-law and eldest uncle go to jail, right? That’s why I came here today to ask you to help me.”

After He Xi finished speaking, she could not help but cry again. “Yong has already asked around. As long as you’re willing to write a letter ot understanding, my man and my mother-in-law won’t be locked up for long… Yao, you’re the kindest.. You’ll help me, right?”
