Hu Xueyan looked left and right, realizing that it was best not to get involved in such a big fight, lest it backfire.
Zhu Wencong probably didn't want to tear things up with the people at the Weaving Bureau; harmony leads to wealth, which has always been the goal pursued by all businessmen.

"Husband, those bureaucrats probably look down on you! After all, they eat from the Qing court's bowl, and their stance is absolutely firm.
If they can make you miserable, they would be considered meritorious, upholding the prestige of the Imperial Court," Su Yanqiao said.
"There's an old Chinese saying, 'A wise man knows when to retreat!'" Zhu Wencong said in a Japanese tone.
"Hehe!" Su Yanqiao covered her mouth and laughed, as Zhu Wencong still didn't want to turn against his people and hoped those bureaucrats would retreat in the face of difficulties.
