Chapter 6 Part 2:
Lu Jianzhi is not only regarded as the family successor among the younger generation of the Lu family, but also as an outstanding figure among the aristocratic descendants in Jiankang.
Since Luoshen was a child, she knew that both families had intentions of a marriage alliance.
Her parents had always seen Lu Jianzhi as her best support for the latter half of her life. The Lu family was also prepared to welcome the Gao family's daughter-in-law.
After her coming-of-age ceremony last year, both families had the intention of arranging a marriage.
If it weren't for the sudden news of the Northern war and the rebellion of Prince Linchuan, the two families should have already settled the wedding.
Luoshen had been called "Big Brother" by Lu Xiu Rong since she was young, and every time she thought of him, she felt warmth in her heart.
In the future, she would marry into the Lu family, which for her, was like changing houses to live in. The people around her were still those she had been familiar with from childhood to adulthood, and she felt very secure.
As she grew older, she began to understand the ways of the world. She began to worry about her parents' affairs, and for the past half year, she had been constantly concerned about her cousin Gao Huan and Lu Jianzhi who were away. She had been hoping that the war would end soon, and they would return safely.
Suddenly hearing this news, one of her worries had finally been resolved, and a smile appeared on Luoshen's face.
"Once Aye has some free time, shall we discuss the wedding with the Lu family? What do you think?" Gao Jie teased his daughter.
"Aye! I won't marry!" Luoshen's face turned red, displaying the shyness of a young girl.
Gao Jie looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
Luoshen's face grew even redder.
"I won't tell Aye anymore! I'll go check on Grandma Ju's medicine!"
She quickly got up from the couch and headed outside.
Gao Jie smiled as he watched his daughter's slender figure depart.
In his heart, he felt reluctant to see his daughter get married, but sooner or later, that day would come. Fortunately, Lu Jianzhi was impeccable in terms of character, appearance, and talent. Entrusting his daughter's future to him was a reassuring choice.
With a hint of warmth still on Luoshen's face, she had just reached the door of the study when she met Uncle Qi, who was holding a letter and rushing in with an anxious expression.
Uncle Qi was an old man from the Gao family, experienced and knowledgeable. It was rare to see him so flustered. Before he even reached the door, he shouted loudly, "Master, something bad has happened! Just now, Minister Xu sent an urgent message—something has happened to Sixth Young Master!"
The "Sixth Young Master" referred to Luoshen's cousin, Gao Huan.
Luoshen was taken aback, stopped in her tracks, turned around, and saw that her father had quickly risen from the couch, received the letter, and opened it. His face changed dramatically.
"Aye, what happened to my brother?" Luoshen asked, seeing her father remain silent, she immediately took the letter from his hands.
The letter was written by Xu Queen's elder brother, Minister Xu. It said that since leading the army to suppress the rebellion last year, he had been wholeheartedly loyal and had not shamed his mission. The rebel army of Prince Linchuan had been pushed back and was now holding up in Luling. They were on the verge of being defeated.
Just when the situation was looking good, an unexpected incident occurred. It was reported that on the previous day, the rebel army had secretly gathered and launched a surprise attack on Ancheng County, which had already been recaptured by the imperial army.
At that time, Gao Huan was inside the city. Due to a shortage of defenders and the suddenness of the attack, the city fell. When he tried to break out of the encirclement, he was unfortunately captured by the rebel army.
Knowing that he was from the Gao family, they used him as a hostage and threatened to kill him if the city of Yuzhang was not surrendered. Minister Xu, in the letter, apologized to Gao Jie and said that he had failed the trust that Gao Jie had placed in him before. He was willing to spare no effort to save Gao Huan, but due to the gravity of the situation, he couldn't make the decision alone. Therefore, he sent this urgent message to seek Gao Jie's judgment.
