The cruel methods used by women in ancient times to punish mistresses

In today's world of material desires and precarious marriages, many wives who have been betrayed by their spouses have adopted common methods from novels and movies into their own lives, hiring detectives to collect evidence of their husbands' affairs .

Then, they catch the adulterer in bed, and first they beat the mistress desperately to vent their anger; then they take videos or photos and post them online to expose the embarrassing process of the mistress being trapped in the bed. Their methods are extremely extreme and are dazzling and breathtaking. In fact, women have been cruelly attacking mistresses since ancient times, and the number of such cases is countless. Cruelly attacking mistresses and taking revenge on love rivals can not only vent one's anger, but also satisfy one's own momentary pleasure. The anonymous Qing Dynasty novel "Flower Shadows Behind the Curtain" also records a story about a Mrs. Song who discovered that her husband had a mistress outside. Mrs. Song took her servants to find the girl, brought her home, had her clothes stripped off and left her naked in the hall. She then beat the girl with a horsewhip until she was covered in blood and shaved her head.

The earlier "Book of Han" records that Liu Qu, the King of Guangchuan and the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, had a favorite concubine named Zhao Xin. She was very jealous of other concubines who shared her husband's favor with her, so she cruelly attacked these concubines. Zhao Xin once falsely accused a concubine named Wang Qing, saying that she was naked in front of the painter, and beat Wang Qing with a whip and ordered the concubines to burn her body with red-hot iron sticks. Wang Qing escaped and committed suicide by jumping into a well. Zhao Xin had someone pull her up, poke a wooden stick into her vagina, then cut off her nose, tongue and lips, and cooked her body. Zhao Xin killed more than a dozen women who posed a threat to his position. When the Sui Dynasty was founded, Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, in order to express his gratitude to his wife Dugu for her contributions, not only appointed her as empress, but also agreed that the two of them would rule the world together, and they were called the "Two Saints."
