崔氏，合淝包繶妻。 Cui Shi was the wife of Bao Ji of Hefei.

拯夫婦意崔不能守也，使左右嚐其心。 Zheng and his wife doubted that Cui could remain faithful and sent attendants to test her resolve.

崔蓬垢涕泣出堂下，見拯曰：“翁，天下名公也。 Cui came out below the hall, disheveled and weeping, and said to Zheng: 'Father-in-law, you are a renowned statesman of the realm.

母呂自荊州來，誘崔欲嫁其族人，因謂曰：“喪夫守子，子死孰守？” Her mother-in-law Lü came from Jingzhou and tried to persuade Cui to marry one of her own clansmen, saying: 'You mourned your husband and guarded your son—but your son is dead. What is left to guard?'

崔曰：“昔之留也，非以子也，舅姑故也。 Cui replied: "When I stayed before, it was not for my son—it was for my parents-in-law.

崔泣曰：“母遠來，義不當使母獨還。 Cui wept and said: 'Mother has come from far away—it would not be right to let you return alone.
