For Maomao, on the other hand, Jinshi is someone who can fuck up her entire life at a moment's notice. She expressed that clearly when she was discussing how she'd like to be executed if it ever came to that: If she oversteps boundaries, Jinshi has almost unlimited power to punish her, have her flogged, even have her killed, whether he wants that power or not. It's his job. She's seen this first hand when a woman admitted to attempted murder, and as a result she got executed, her family got tortured, their money taken away, all government contracts with their business partners terminated, and ultimately 80 women, including Maomao herself, got fired and put in extremely precarious economic positions.

Maomao does not actually believe that nobles are inherently better than her, let alone Jinshi, but she knows their power is 100% real. She loves solving puzzles, but she dreads the consequences of knowledge, and in particular the consequences of letting those with more power know. While she will resort to using Jinshi's authority if she has to, there are plenty of cases where she solves a thing and then only tells the people directly involved, or in some cases, nobody at all.
