Xi Ling married into the Fan family to bring good fortune. They had agreed beforehand that if the Fan family's eldest son didn't pull through, she could remarry and wouldn't have to remain a widow.
The Fan family's eldest son did not pull through. Newly widowed, she asked a matchmaker to find her a new husband.
Unfortunately, just then, the Fan family's sixth son returned from a successful campaign. When he saw his new sister-in-law, he used threats and temptation to stop her from marrying, insisting she remain a widow for his brother.
Xi Ling wasn't willing, but under the pressure of the sixth son of the Fan family, she had no choice but to give in.
They had lived under the same roof for only a few months when, on a bitterly cold night of heavy snow, the sixth son of the Fan family came to her door with a wineskin in hand. "It's cold, Sister-in-law. Would you like a drink?"
