Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.
In Chinese families, elders often refer to themselves by their kinship title (like 'Eldest Aunt' or 'Mom') rather than 'I' when speaking to juniors to emphasize family bonds and soften the tone.
Because Chinese culture heavily emphasizes seniority, an elder explicitly admitting fault to a younger relative involves giving up significant 'face' and signals deep sincerity.
