德祐二年冬，大元兵入浙東，婦與其舅、姑、夫皆被執。 In the winter of the second year of Deyou, Yuan troops entered eastern Zhe; she, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and husband were all seized.

既而舅、姑與夫皆死，主將見婦皙美，欲內之，婦號慟欲自殺，為奪挽不得死。 Later her in-laws and husband all died; the commander, seeing her fair, wished to take her. She wailed and tried to kill herself, but they restrained her.

吾舅、姑與夫死，而我不為之衰，是不天也。 My in-laws and husband are dead, yet I do not mourn them—that would defy Heaven.
