Madam Song was not the legitimate wife of the Song Family.
Although she came from a prestigious family, she had seduced Song Ji and climbed into his bed while the original matriarch of the Song Family was still alive.
The man hadn't refused her. Leveraging her own family's influence, she successfully became Madam of the Song Family after the original matriarch passed away. However, everyone knew the only reason she had risen to that position was because the Song Family simply needed *a* madam.
Song Zhi, as the daughter of the original matriarch and the only direct eldest daughter of the Song Family, was personally acknowledged by Song Ji as the next candidate for Family Head.
Even if Madam Song had many more children now, it would be of no use.
And Song Yingchen, this illegitimate son, was her best target for manipulation.
