'Let sleeping dogs lie' = để con chó đang ngủ nằm yên, đừng động đến con chó đang ngủ -> nghĩa là đừng gợi lại những chuyện không hay trong quá khứ (avoid interfering in a situation that is currently causing no problems but might do so as a result of such interference.); "đừng bới cứt ra mà ngửi".
Ví dụ
Pro-establishment lawmakers should let sleeping dogs lie.

Six years is a long, long time to be with someone without making up your mind on what you want. She’s right, in my opinion, to stand her ground on the marriage thing. Well, you said you are not concerned about her health; so what else could the issue be holding you back from giving her the level of commitment she demands from you? I think you should let sleeping dogs lie unless you have and you're willing what she’s asking for.
