It should be a family joke/running gag.

Someone: "So, who is this man next to you Lady Mai?"
Mai: "He's my cousin."
Zhou (at the same time): "I'm the half bastard brother."
*Person looks at Mai and Zhou funny*
Zhou: "Half Brousin?"
*Mai shakes head*
Zhou: "Bastard Brousin?"
Mai: "You are one of those things and its not a Brousin."
