He Got Eeby Deebied

I love how this scene parallels and contrast Maomao's being furious for the first time when she slapped Lady Lihua's maid ?

It is an introduction to a new side of both of them in the exact same way. The big similarity is that both them are righteously angry at a maid doing something to someone else that is bad for theirs well-beingn physical or mental whether due to ignorance and/or denial (Maomao with Lihua's maid) or just straight up maliciousness (Jinshi with Lishu's maid).

The big difference is that Maomao just straight up go for the slap and is so much more physical than him, she drags her by her hair aand is physically intimadating while also being a teeny tiny 17/18 years old, while Jinshi who is physically tall and intimidating just his height isn't physically agressive in his anger at all and doesn't really drops the mask at all. It's an anger that is bit more...cold I guess ? He doesn't even raise his voice.

And the reason for that difference is the way they are raised and the amount of power they have but both of them are very effective in theirs own way. And they are definitely complementary with each other too.
