"Let's tell the Zhao Family elders about this and let them handle it. We shouldn't report it to the officials."
Xu Su Ying nodded. "That's what I was thinking, too. Our business employs members of the Zhao Family, giving them an extra source of income. Mr. Zhao values this business highly."
To be more precise, what Mr. Zhao truly valued was the business's support for Zhao Jing's future in the imperial examinations.
Zhao Jing was the backbone of the Zhao Family. Whether the family could rise in status and how far they could go depended entirely on him.
Ruining the Moonlight Fragrance business meant ruining Zhao Jing's future, and Mr. Zhao had zero tolerance for anything that threatened it.
If Mr. Zhao found out someone was tampering with the Moonlight Fragrance, he would, at the very least, expel the young wife from the incense-making team. In a more severe case, he might even have the clan force her husband to divorce her.
