武都子師仁，年始三歲，世充以其年幼不殺，使禁掌之。 Wudu's son Shiren was only three years old; Shichong spared him because of his youth but had him imprisoned under guard.

遇有所得，便歸與師仁； Whatever she obtained, she brought back for Shiren;

後詐采拾，乃竊師仁歸於京師。 Later, pretending to go out gathering, she stole Shiren away and fled with him to the capital.

高祖嘉其義，下詔曰：「師仁乳母王氏，慈惠有聞，撫鞠無倦，提攜遺幼，背逆歸朝。 Emperor Gaozu commended her loyalty and issued an edict: "Shiren's wet nurse, Lady Wang, is renowned for her kindness and grace; she reared him without rest, carried off the orphaned child, and defied the rebel regime to bring him back to the court.
