In “Flirting with the Brother-in-Law,” Pan Jinlian treats Wu Song to some wine when her husband is out doing business on the streets.

Her affection, however, is flatly rejected by Wu Song, who admonishes Pan for her immoral acts and fears that trouble will come to the household.

劇情為眉山書生陳慥字季常，其妻柳氏悍妒。東坡被貶黃州，邀陳同去賞花。柳氏疑心同行必有妓女，不允。陳慥苦苦哀告，說若有妓女，甘受責罰，柳氏方才放行。柳氏又派蒼頭去打探，果有妓女。陳回家被罰跪池邊。蘇東坡放心不下，前來探望，見狀頗不平，與柳氏評理，反被柳氏推出門去，陳慥亦遭杖責。
Kneeling by the Pond happens on one such day, when Liu Shi learns that not only did her husband go the night before to another party with Su (A truly bad influence!) and joined by some despicable sing-song vixens — openly defiant of her repeated warnings against such outings — but, worse still, he had the nerve to lie to her about the presence of the hired girls! Ignoring her husband’s pathetic pleas for mercy, she determinedly gives him another one of her famous punishments, which is for him to be on his knees for as long as she sees fit, out in the cold by the pond.
