  • Chapter 36 — Shan Fu's Strategy: Fankou Is Captured; Xu Shu's Affection: Zhuge Liang Is Recommended.
    Xu Shu's widowed mother, lured to the capital and asked to summon her son from the 'rebel' Liu Bei: she delivers the book's fiercest dressing-down - 'you, under the name of a Han minister, are really nothing but a Han rebel' - and hurls an inkstone at Cao Cao's head. Saved from execution by Cheng Yu's cold logic, she is kept as the living bait whose forged handwriting steals her son.
  • Chapter 37 — Sima Hui Recommends A Scholar To Liu Bei; Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge.
    Sees her son at her door and delivers the tirade of the book - loyalty and filial piety opposed, Cao Cao the traitor, Liu Bei the fitting master, 'on the strength of a scrap of forged writing you have left the light and plunged into darkness' - then walks out and hangs herself rather than live as his leash. Cao Cao, whose trick killed her, sends mourning gifts.
