樊會仁母敬氏，字像子，蒲州河東人也。 Fan Huiren's mother, Lady Jing, whose courtesy name was Xiangzi, was a native of Hedong in Pu Prefecture.

年十五，適樊氏，生會仁而夫喪，事舅姑姊姒以謹順聞。 At fifteen she married into the Fan clan and bore Huiren; after her husband's death she was renowned for her dutiful and respectful care of her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law.

像子私謂會仁曰：「吾不幸孀居，誓與汝父同穴。 Xiangzi privately told Huiren, "I am unfortunate in my widowhood and have sworn to share a grave with your father.

會仁失聲啼泣。 Huiren burst into loud weeping.

會仁便佯睡，像子於是伺隙攜之遁歸。 Huiren then pretended to sleep; Xiangzi seized her chance, took him, and fled home.

後會仁年十八病卒，時像子母已終。 Later, when Huiren was eighteen, he died of illness; by then Xiangzi's mother had already died.
