劉氏，海州朐山人，適同裏陳公緒。 Liu Shi was from Qushan in Haizhou and married Chen Gongxu of the same neighborhood.

紹興末，金人犯山東，郡縣震響，公緒倡義來歸，偶劉歸寧，倉卒不得與偕，惟挈其子庚以行，宋授以八品官，後累功至正使。 Near the end of the Shaoxing era the Jin invaded Shandong and the region was in turmoil. Gongxu raised a loyal force and submitted to the Song. Liu happened to be visiting her parents and could not leave with him in the haste—he took only their son Geng. The Song granted him an eighth-rank post; through accumulated merit he later rose to Regular Commissioner.

今陳已貴，必他娶矣，盍改適？” Chen is now eminent—he must have remarried. Why not marry again?"

公緒亦不他娶。 Gongxu likewise never remarried.
