"...I originally planned to take advantage of this New Year's Day to have a good talk with Lady Guan, but unexpectedly, after only a few words, she agreed. It seems she is very satisfied with your eldest son," Princess Anping said with a smile.
Madam Song, having guessed when she entered, also showed her delight upon hearing this, stood up, and bowed to her, happily saying, "It's all thanks to the Princess acting as the matchmaker that this engagement went so smoothly. If the betrothal becomes official, we would have to ask you to be a witness."
"Rest assured, since I have agreed to act as the matchmaker, I will follow through with the formal procedures," Princess Anping replied with a smile. "But there's one thing, Lady Guan mentioned that Miss Guan Liu is still young, and even if the engagement is settled, she would like to keep her for two more years to teach her well."
