至年十五，父又征遼而歿。 When she was fifteen, her father died on campaign in Liaodong.

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.

以往在隋朝，父歿遼左，招魂遷葬，負土成墳，又葬其祖父母等，遏此老年，親加板築。 Long ago under the Sui, when her father died in Liaodong, she summoned his soul home for burial, carried earth to build his tomb, and also buried her grandparents; despite her advanced age, she personally worked on the tomb construction.
