河東受兵，劉氏二子衡、衍俱以事出外，度不能自脫，遂與二婦孫氏、姚氏決死，盡發貲囊分給家人，婦姑同縊焉。 When Hedong came under attack, Lady Liu's two sons Heng and Yan were both away on business. Convinced they could not escape, she and her daughters-in-law Lady Sun and Lady Yao resolved to die together. She emptied the family coffers and distributed everything to the household, then she and her daughters-in-law hanged themselves.
