When Xin Chang asked her if he should follow Lu Zhi, she replied: "How can you not go? It is righteous for one to perform his duty. When others are in trouble, we ought to help them. If you work for someone and you don't do what you need to do, then that isn't a good sign. If you are a close aide (of Cao Shuang), then you should fulfil your loyalty towards him and sacrifice your life for him if you have to. However, in this incident, (you aren’t a close side of Cao Shuang and so) you just need to follow the crowd." Xin Chang heeded her advice and followed Lu Zhi out of Luoyang to join Cao Shuang.(敞曰：「然則敞無出乎？」憲英曰：「安可以不出！職守，人之大義也。凡人在難，猶或恤之；為人執鞭而棄其事，不祥也。且為人任，為人死，親昵之職也，汝從眾而已。」敞遂出。) Jin Shu vol. 96.
