History vs. fiction
The material confuses Wei Huanzi, a Jin minister during the Warring States period, with Wei Shi, the wife of Kong Fujia of the Song state during the Spring and Autumn period.
In official history, Wei Huanzi is the ancestor of the Warring States Wei state. However, the romance sources confuse him with Wei Shi, the wife of Kong Fujia, the Grand Marshal of the Song state (who was taken by Hua Du due to her beauty), which is an extremely absurd misattribution. The original text: 「宋华父督见孔父之妻于路」（《春秋左传正义·卷04》, data/raw/zuozhuan/卷04.txt）
