鄭琪妻羅氏，名妙安，信州弋陽人。 Zheng Qi's wife Lady Luo, whose given name was Miao'an, came from Yiyang in Xinzhou.

年二十，歸琪。 At twenty she married Qi.

琪家世宦族，同居百餘口，羅氏執婦道無間言。 Qi's family had served as officials for generations, and more than a hundred relatives lived under one roof. Lady Luo fulfilled her duties as a wife without a murmur of complaint.

琪以軍功擢鉛山州判官，羅氏封宜人。 For his military service Qi was promoted to assistant magistrate of Qianshan Subprefecture, and Lady Luo was granted the title of Yiren.

琪問何為，對曰：「時事如此，萬一遇難，為自全計耳。」 When Qi asked why, she answered, "These are desperate times. If the worst should happen, this is my way to preserve myself."
