As a result, when he came of age, he found that not only had his position not been given back, but his fiancée, Mrs. Luo, had canceled their engagement and married Wang Daoxin instead. When his mother angrily went to confront them, she was mocked and ridiculed by the Luo family. On her way back, she nearly got injured by a frightened horse, and fell ill from fear, anger, and frustration over her own helplessness. She soon passed away from her illness.
