Unexpectedly, Lord Wei was known for his integrity and righteousness, which upset many people in the court.
The mother and daughter duo returned to Lord Wei's hometown in Jizhou, seeking refuge from their relatives.
However, the patriarch of the Wei clan not only refused to shelter them but also reported their whereabouts to the local government.
The Magistrate of Jizhou held opposing political views to Lord Wei. Their disagreements in court had resulted in their relationship becoming hostile.
Once the magistrate discovered the whereabouts of the Wei mother and daughter, he kicked them while they were at their lowest.
Under the pretense of them being fugitive slaves, he arrested the two of them and assigned them hard labor at a coal kiln.
To protect her daughter, Lady Wei suffered unimaginable humiliation and unjust treatment at the coal kiln.
After six years of hardship, she wore out her health and finally passed away, not even having a coffin for her funeral.
