子琮的妻子倚仗是太后的妹妹而放纵，公然请托，接受贿赂，太守和县令的任命，先要确定财帛的多少，然后才上奏给皇上。所奏之事，都能允准。子琮对妻子行为也不加禁止。

His son Cong's wife relied on being the sister of the empress dowager and indulged herself in debauchery. She openly asked for favors and accepted bribes. The appointment of governors and county magistrates depended on the amount of wealth. She then submitted it to the emperor. All her requests were granted. His son Cong also did not stop his wife's behavior.
