All of her children except Shen Ruyi had died in battle. She strongly opposed her daughter inheriting the title. She was murdered during the Mid-Autumn Festival night when Song Yiqiu was ten years old, while protecting her at the suburban villa. The household claimed she died at the hands of bandits, but Qingzhu revealed she was actually murdered by someone within the household.
