Song Zhiyuan's casual words almost embarrassed Song Zhiqing.
When he was young, he mostly stayed at the Academy to study hard, returning home to reunite with family only during holidays. After he passed his examinations and married Lu Shi, under Song Zhiyuan's arrangement, he flew away like a bird spreading its wings, full of ambition.
Song Zhiyuan was right; he didn't spend much time at home, thus he barely knew his stepmother.
Especially after being posted elsewhere for several years, he was even more unaware of Song Ci's changes, so now, showing great concern for Song Ci seemed somewhat affected and hypocritical.
Song Zhiqing forced a smile: "I just thought of when I was young, my mother was stern and not very expressive, which is very different from now. It's quite emotional."
