Take, for example, the "Tongue-Ripping Hell", that is quite a vicious curse. Both Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu are scholars, and Lady Chiang, influenced by what she had been exposed to, had also acquired some culture.
Zhao Xiue sat on the kang bed, with her arm being pulled by Lady Chiang, yet she remained seated without getting up.
To tell the truth, she initially felt somewhat guilty. After speaking those words to Lian Jizu, she anticipated that Lian Jizu would argue with Lady Chiang, but she didn't expect Lian Jizu to be so hot-tempered, barely speaking a few words before threatening to divorce Lady Chiang. The situation had escalated more than she intended, she never truly wanted Lian Jizu to divorce Lady Chiang; all she aimed for was to stir up trouble between Lian Jizu and Lady Chiang, to make Lian Jizu loathe Lady Chiang, worsening their marital relationship, and to see Lady Chiang lose face.
Because she felt guilty, she kept silent when Lady Chiang called out to her.
