Time Slip: The Xiao Lu
Engagement Party

This morning, Xiao Lu was accompanied by Jing Mi walking around the Ahn residence followed by their respective personal servants.

Xiao Lu smiled at how enthusiastic Jing Mi was telling her. A smile continued to be etched on her beautiful face. Perhaps, this was the first time they had seen such a normally moody face that it now revealed its pure smile.

"Well, jie-jie I'm upset because Shuwan's little dog jie-jie always licks my feet. It was laughable," Jing Mi's story as she hung around amusedly.

"Ohhh, so that's ludicrous, hm?" Say someone behind them.

Xiao Lu and Jing Mi simultaneously turned their heads and looked at the beautiful girl who was the same age as Xiao Lu was standing up while shaking her waist.

"Ah, good morning Wan'er/Shuwan jie-jie," said Xiao Lu and Jing Mi in unison.

"Good morning also jie-jie, Mi'er," said Ahn Shuwan who is none other than their cousin from the father's sister.

"Mi'er, so my little dog's lick is laughable?" Ask Shuwan again.

"Yes jie-jie," Jing Mi replied as she waved her lips.

"Gosh, you're so funny" Shuwan said, muffling Jing Mi's cheeks that caused her to rebel to release Shuwan's loving elbow.

"Huwaaa jhie-jhie lhepaskhan," protested Jing Mi.

Xiao Lu who saw that only shook his head while chuckling lightly. I think he misses his little brother. But, nevermind. Now he has a new family and for his sister, he knows that his sister will be safe with Hwang, Shing and Blackrose.

"Easy-after. Wan'er, get your hands off. Kasian Mi'er," Xiao Lu said, mediating because he saw Jing Mi's teary eyes.

Shuwan obediently removed his hand from Jing Mi's cheek with a ruckus coming out from her thin lips.

"Sucks," Jing Mi sulked as she cupped her two successful cheeks making Shuwan laugh.

"Ughhh, I'm sorry jie-jie. You're funny anyway" Shuwan said with a grin.

"Ahh, you are here apparently," said someone in front of them making them look at a person who is none other than Guang Ho.

"Let's get together diaula. Father will say something," Guang Ho said as he looked at Xiao Lu.

Xiao Lu who was stared at by Guang Ho raised next to his brow in confusion. He saw if the eyes of the person with the status of his brother showed concern.

"Alright, come!" Shu Shuwan exclaimed in spirit as he pulled Jing Mi's hand.

"Come, gege," Xiao Lu said calmly.

Guang Ho who saw that exhaled slowly and then nodded. He held his little sister's hand and led her into the hall.

•••

Now, the entire Ahn family had gathered in the hall of Ahn's residence. General Ahn was in the main seat with Ahn Jun Mo (a younger general of Ahn) sitting to his right. While to his left, sat the son, who was none other than Guang Ho who now got the rank of young general. Beside Guang Ho, Xiao Lu sat down followed by Shuwan and lastly Jing Mi.

The previous Ahn general had only two sons, Ahn Jun Qing, who inherited his general position and Ahn Jun Mo, who is now one of the first rank ministers.

Beside Minister Mo, sat a middle-aged woman, Xin Hua who was none other than Minister Mo's wife. Ahn Shuwan is their son.

The Ahn family besides being famous for their intelligence and position in the empire, they are also famous for their oath of allegiance to the couple. Evidently, every male descendant in Ahn's residence will only marry one female. They will have neither concubines nor concubines. Thus, many noble daughters wanted to be part of the Ahn family because they knew the Ahn family would only make their spouses the only ones in their lives.

"Because you have gathered, this General will inform His Majesty of the Emperor. Tomorrow night, we will go to attend the invitation of the Crown Prince's engagement party with Minister Liu's daughter,"

Everything he had left immediately stared at Xiao Lu with a worried look. While the one who was stared at even blinked his eyes plain.

"Why look at me? This little miss knows that this lady is very pretty and cute, but please don't look at this lady like that, you will like the danger again if there is an incest-incest-an scene," xiao Lu said confidently while slightly wagging his long, unraveled black hair.

A crossroads of images formed on the forehead of those who heard the confident speech of Xiao Lu. They stared at Xiao Lu with a hard-to-understand view err.

'Is she really Ahn Xiao Lu the quiet and shy first lady of the Ahn family? And in-in what was that? Eng incest? what is inces?' Their minds are full of questions.
