士玄囑王氏曰：「我病必不起，前妾所生子，汝善保護之。 Shixuan told Lady Wang, "I will not recover. The son born to my former concubine—you must care for him well.

待此子稍長，即從汝自嫁矣。」 When he grows a little older, you may remarry as you wish."

君幸有兄嫂，此兒必不失所居。」 You still have your brother and sister-in-law; the boy will not be left without a home."

比葬，王氏遂居墓側，蓬首垢面，哀毀逾禮，常以妾子置左右，飲食寒暖惟恐不至。 After the funeral, Lady Wang lived beside the grave with unkempt hair and a filthy face, mourning beyond what ritual required. She kept the concubine's son always at her side and tended his food, drink, warmth, and comfort with scrupulous care.

歲餘，妾子亦死，乃哭曰：「無復望矣。」 More than a year later the concubine's son also died. She wept and said, "There is nothing left to hope for."
