王袤妻趙氏，饒州樂平人。 Zhao Shi, wife of Wang Mao, was from Leping in Raozhou.

建炎中，袤監上高酒稅，金兵犯筠，袤棄官逃去，趙從之行。 During Jianyan, Wang Mao supervised the wine tax at Shanggao; when Jin troops invaded Yun, he abandoned his post and fled, Zhao accompanying him.

遇金人，縛以去，係袤夫婦於劉氏門，而入剽掠劉室。 They encountered Jin troops, who seized them, tied the couple at the Liu family gate, and entered to plunder the Liu household.

趙宛轉解縛，並解袤，謂袤曰：“君速去。” Zhao worked free of her bonds and freed Mao as well, telling him: 'Husband, flee quickly.'

俄而金人出，問袤安往，趙他指以誤之。 Soon the Jin emerged and asked where Mao had gone; Zhao pointed elsewhere to deceive them.

袤方伏叢薄間，望之悲痛，歸刻趙像以葬。 Mao hid in the thickets, watching in grief; he returned, carved her likeness, and buried it.

袤後仕至孝順監鎮。 Mao later rose to Supervisor of the Xiaoshun Garrison.
