公歸宅，張夫人詰之曰：「趙思綰庸賤人，公何以免其禍？ When he returned home, Lady Zhang demanded, "Zhao Siwan is a worthless man—why did you spare him?

曰：「某比不言，夫人問，須言之。 He replied, "I have not spoken of this before, but since you ask, I must tell you.

夫人曰：「既不能除去，何妨以小惠啖之，無使銜怨。」 The lady said, "If you cannot remove him, at least win him with small favors so he bears no grudge."

自後夫人密遣人令思綰之妻來參，夫人厚以衣物賜之，前後與錢物甚多。 Thereafter the lady secretly had Siwan's wife come to pay respects, lavished clothing on her, and gave her large sums of money and goods over time.
