The three Yin sisters were notorious throughout the capital as “ill-omened” women. The day the Xiao family cast out the eldest sister, her mother-in-law hugged her niece and laughed. “Now this is the daughter-in-law I deserve.” When the second sister divorced, the second son of the Wen family hid behind his concubine’s mother and said, “You’re too strong-willed.
