The final chapters narrate how she supports public morals among the Chinese by protecting a poor student from murder, by turning an unfilial daughter-in-law into a dog, by extending the life of a good Samaritan, and by saving a poor widow and her son from the shenanigans of her husband's brother who tries to steal their inheritance. There is a printed edition dated 1698. A later addition includes more miracles. (en)
