及侯景東奔至吳郡，獲炯妻虞氏，子行簡，並殺之，炯弟攜其母逃而獲免。 When Hou Jing fled east into Wu commandery he seized Jiong's wife, Lady Yu, and his son Xingjian and killed them. Jiong's younger brother fled with their mother and lived.

炯以母老在東，恆思歸國，恐魏人愛其文才而留之，恆閉門卻掃，無所交遊。 His mother was old in the east and he longed to go home, fearing the Wei would keep him for his writing. He shut his gate, swept away callers, and kept no company.

以母老表請歸養，詔不許。 He memorialized to go home and tend his aged mother; the court refused.

臣母妾劉，今年八十有一，臣叔母妾丘，七十有五，臣門弟姪故自無人，妾丘兒孫又久亡泯，兩家侍養，餘臣一人。 My mother, Lady Liu, is eighty-one; my uncle's wife, Lady Qiu, is seventy-five. Our younger kin are gone and Lady Qiu's grandsons are long dead—of the two households that must be served, only I remain.
