初，年二歲，所生母亡，為繼母鞠養。 When she was two, her birth mother died, and she was raised by her stepmother.

王乃收所生及繼母屍柩，並立父形像，招魂遷葬訖，廬於墓側，陪其祖父母及父母墳。 Lady Wang then gathered the coffins of her birth mother and stepmother, erected her father's portrait, summoned his soul and gave him a proper burial, then lived in a mourning hut beside the tomb, keeping vigil at the graves of her grandparents and parents.
