幼文所蒞貪橫，家累千金，女伎數十人，絲竹晝夜不絕，與沈勃、孫超之居止接近，常相從，又竝與阮佃夫厚善。 In every office Youwen was greedy and domineering; his household amassed great wealth; he kept dozens of female performers and music never ceased day or night; he lived near Shen Bo and Sun Chaozhi and kept their company constantly; he was also intimate with Ruan Dianfu.

帝微行夜出，輒在幼文門牆之間，聽其弦管，積久轉不能平，於是自率宿衛兵誅幼文、勃、超之等。 The emperor would slip out at night and linger by Youwen's gate listening to his music; as his resentment mounted he personally led the palace guard to execute Youwen, Bo, Chaozhi, and the others.
