Twenty-some years later, when Song Weiyi herself brought up the topic, her heart was unexpectedly calm.
She remembered the first time someone said that to her when she was a child; she raged like a little beast and beat up the child who maligned her mother leaving them battered and bruised.
"But they don't know that the one who really meddled in someone else's love wasn't my mother, but Fu Zining," said Song Weiyi, her eyes reddening slightly, with a spark of fireworks burning deep within her pupils.
Pei Yibai's hand rested gently on her shoulder, patting it softly as if it were barely there, but Song Weiyi, mired in her own thoughts, did not notice.
Her emotions suddenly became agitated, and Song Weiyi continued, "Outsiders have always only seen that my mother had me, the illegitimate daughter, hence they cannot forgive. Yet, ironically, it wasn't until last year when I read the diary left by my mother that I realized things were not as those people claimed."
