Lady Zhou is able to control her temper in front of Lian Shouxin's family. On one hand, she understands that her sustenance relies entirely on this family, and she can no longer manipulate them as she used to. On the other hand, her violent temper has found a new outlet for venting, and unfortunately for him, this outlet is none other than Lian Shouren.
Choosing Lian Shouren as her punching bag wasn't without thought. One reason is Lady Zhou's inherent personality; she needs someone or something to torment. Another reason is the intent to control and manipulate Lian Shouren's group.
This is a tactic Lady Zhou habitually employs to manipulate ordinary people.
