The Zhuo family was initially surprised that the Gu family, out of so many girls, had chosen their daughter.
When the matchmaker came to their door, Lady Zhuo was so stunned that it took her half a day to regain her composure and entertain the official matchmaker.
Fortunately, the matchmaker had been just as shocked when she initially heard from Lady of the Gu Family that Zhuo's daughter had been chosen. Thus, she didn't feel slighted, but strangely felt a sense of solidarity.
Once the Zhuo family regained their composure, they apologized and invited the matchmaker to sit down.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the matchmaker stated her purpose and relayed Gu Changque's message.
Upon hearing this, Lady Zhuo was at a loss for words, and after some thought, she said the news was too sudden and asked for some time to consider it.
The official matchmaker, understanding this, said with a smile that she would return in a few days.
