It was already shocking enough that Xu Su Ying had passed down the craft she used to support her family to her daughter. But incense formulas were rare, a major skill on par with medical prescriptions, food recipes, and wine formulas. How could someone just learn another family's craft without Xu Su Ying's express permission?
Even if Qing'er had casually mentioned during their last chat that she could teach Xiang'er if she wanted to learn, she was still a new bride. She was probably just being polite, not wanting to embarrass Xiang'er, and so made the promise.
'But as her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, how could they be so tactless?'
'This is her family's heirloom craft. She should only learn it if the other person genuinely wants to teach. Otherwise, wouldn't they be forcing her hand?'
But she couldn't say it like that, for fear of damaging the bond between her daughter and Qing'er.
