The old lady smiled sarcastically, "My sister... has always been competitive..." and she kept talking about the story of her youth.

As early as the late Qing Dynasty, the ancestors of the An family, as Han Chinese, had already held the position of Lieutenant General, responsible for assisting senior Manchu generals in commanding the army.

Later, the Qing Dynasty fell, and the An family gradually developed into a small force in the southern province.

It was really a chaotic time.

If the An family wants to avoid being annexed, they can only win over various forces through marriage.

At that time, the Xu family of Yi'an in Qin Province was at its peak. With the foundation of a century-old family, its influence was huge, and many small forces wanted to climb onto the big tree of the Xu family.

These forces sent their children all the way to Qin Province just to give their children the opportunity to come into contact with the descendants of the Xu family, with the purpose of cultivating various kinds of relationships.

At that time, the An family had no girls of the right age, and even if there were, they would have been married long ago. So they set their sights on Xu Ronghan, the eldest grandson of the Xu family who was only four years old.

As for feelings, those cultivated from childhood are the most solid, so he sent his own grandchildren, the sisters, over.

The Fang family had no daughters, so they could only send their direct grandson Fang Mojun, now Old Master Fang, over there, hoping that he could become close friends with Xu Ronghan.

When they were sent there, An Hexian was six years old, An Heyu was only four years old, and Fang Mojun was five years old. It was easy for the children to play together.

It seems that older sisters are more likely to be liked by children younger than themselves.

Because An Hexian would take them out to play secretly, and robbing bird nests, fishing and catching crabs were all basic exercises.

Sometimes we also organize role-playing games.

She played the general, and these children were her soldiers, fighting wherever she directed.

She has the demeanor of a daughter of a general.

Fang Wanqing's eyes sparkled when she heard this, "Wow, was grandma so naughty when she was a child?"

The old lady smiled, her eyes bright, and her silent face instantly became lively. "At that time, I didn't like being trapped at home and watching women's precepts, women's training, and women's virtues. The Qing Dynasty has fallen, so why bother with feudalism?"

Fang Wanqing looked at the exquisite Manchu dress she was wearing and felt as if it was a shackle on her.

Grandpa has made a great contribution to grandma’s future.

"Then... Grandma, how did you end up marrying Grandpa?"

The light in the old lady's eyes faded, she sighed and continued speaking.

When Xu Ronghan grew up, he liked her very much, and Fang Mojun also liked her.

It seems that men all like that kind of special girl.

In 1925, An Hexian was fifteen years old and Xu Ronghan was thirteen years old. The head of the An family was afraid that the Xu family would arrange another marriage for Xu Ronghan, so he told the Xu family about this marriage early on.

The Xu family agreed at that time and arranged a marriage for the two of them, agreeing that they would get married when Xu Ronghan turned eighteen.

From then on, An Hexian was Xu Ronghan's fiancée.

Later, when An Heyu was fifteen years old, the head of the An family promised her to Fang Mojun, and they would wait until Fang Mojun was eighteen before getting married.

Xu Ronghan is a very gentle person at heart, and he is the most handsome among that group of young men. He is very attentive to An Hexian, which makes others envious.

An Heyu was also at the age of falling in love for the first time, and she also liked Xu Ronghan very much.

She complained more than once why her grandfather did not marry her to Xu Ronghan, but instead married her to Fang Mojun, who was average-looking and very old-fashioned.

As her wedding date approached, An Heyu's feeling of imbalance became stronger and stronger, slowly turning into intense jealousy.

Jealousy turns people into devils.

She often seduced Xu Ronghan behind her sister's back.

At first Xu Ronghan was able to avoid suspicion and refuse, but after many times, he found the feeling of having an affair very exciting, and he couldn't control himself, and he really got together with her.

After An Heyu's plan, Xu Ronghan slept with her in public.

Once the rice has been cooked, it's too late.

Even if Xu Ronghan had mouths all over his body, he would not be able to explain the relationship between him and An Heyu. He could only say that it was An Heyu who seduced him.

An Hexian was proud by nature and could not tolerate any injustice. At that time, she just wanted to cancel the engagement, but Xu Ronghan refused to agree and insisted on marrying her.

At that time, the Xu family decided to let the two sisters of the An family marry Xu Ronghan.

An Hexian was the first wife, and An Heyu was the second wife.

Although the term "second wife" sounds nice, she is actually still a concubine.

An Heyu disagreed again. She cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself. She refused to be a concubine.

It was true. If the news of a legitimate daughter becoming a concubine got out, the An family would lose all face.

The head of the An family was unwilling to give up the marriage proposals with the Xu and Fang families.

Just be thick-skinned and deal with this matter. After all, they are all legitimate daughters of the An family. Why not just change their marriages? We can still be a family.

Since ancient times, those who have military power have the biggest fists. At that time, the An family had developed a very powerful force in ten years, and the Xu family had to think about it. They had to give this face.

The Fang and Xu families agreed.

It was the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, and no matter how Xu Ronghan made a fuss, the elders had made up their minds and would not change them.

Fang Mojun married An Hexian, and Xu Ronghan married An Heyu.

The old lady took out the solo photo of Xu Ronghan from the album.

On the back of the photo was written in pen: 'This life is short, without you, there is no joy.'

Fang Wanqing leaned over to take a look. The handwriting was very beautiful. "Huh? Who wrote this?"

The old lady stroked the words on it and said, "It was quite popular at that time to commemorate one's dead love. One would take the best photo of oneself and give it to the loved one as a farewell gift."

Fang Wanqing was stunned for a moment. Isn't this just deliberately putting a thorn in grandpa's heart?

Just ask yourself, which man can tolerate his wife keeping photos of her ex-boyfriend?

What would happen if we found out about this?

"Well... this Mr. Xu is quite mixed up... and quite romantic."

The old lady sneered, "What kind of romance is this? It's just an excuse for your irresponsibility."

Fang Wanqing watched her carefully put the photo back into the album, a little puzzled, "Grandma, if you are so open-minded, why do you still keep his photo?"

The old lady was straightening the photo and paused when she heard this, "Because... this is my youth."

"Wow, is this your youth?" At this time, Old Master Fang walked into the room with an extremely ugly expression.
