Chapter 243:
Chapter 243: Deception
He approached Qian, the money manager, asking for his help to stage a scenario where his daughter and he would pretend to be in debt. The plan was to deceive Murong Zhe into mortgaging the land and house to the gambling den. In return, Qian promised fifteen acres of land once the plan succeeded.
A month later, he spread the news that he had another winning streak at the gambling den and successfully reclaimed the house and land.
He thought he could effortlessly gain control of his elder brother's house and land, never having to endure such hardships again, and no longer being looked down upon by his elder brother and father.
He never anticipated that Murong Zhe wouldn't fall for the trap, and the villagers sided with Murong Zhe, foiling his scheme.
"This is the situation. It was all Murong Qi's idea, Young Master. I was just greedy for money for my son to get married and agreed to help Murong Qi set up this scheme."

As Mr. Money Manager finished speaking, an uproar erupted. No one expected Murong Qi to harbor such malicious intentions towards his elder brother.
Fortunately, they hadn't stood by Murong Qi's side just now. Otherwise, they would be accomplices, losing face in front of the Murong family and unable to continue working there.
Murong Lingran raised an eyebrow, appreciating Murong Qi's acting skills, which rivaled those of professional actors from the 21st century.
Murong Liang listened with gritted teeth but refrained from approaching. He stared at Murong Qi with a sinister gaze, waiting for him to spew more nonsense!
Mrs. Chen was dumbfounded and asked, "Husband, are you saying that the incident about selling our daughter to a brothel is fake?"
Murong Qi looked at Murong Xue with guilt. "Yes."
"The debt of two thousand taels of silver is also fake? In reality, you only owed ten taels of silver?" Mrs. Chen continued to question.
"Yes."
Mrs. Chen was on the verge of collapse. Without hesitation, she slapped him across the face and roared, "Murong Qi, how could you do this to us? Do you know how your wife and daughters have been living these past few days? How can you use your daughter in such a scheme? Do you still have a conscience? Do you still consider Murong Xue as your own daughter?"
Murong Xue's eyes filled with tears.
For the past few days, she and her two daughters had lived in fear. She hadn't slept for two days, worrying that her eldest daughter would really be sold to a brothel. The younger daughter, Murong Qing, was also terrified that she might be forced to replace her elder sister. The two sisters even had some conflicts due to this incident, affecting their sisterly relationship.
Finally, everything turned out to be fake. It was too outrageous!
Murong Qi said with dissatisfaction, "I... I did it to give you a better life. Haven't you been eyeing the house and land of our elder brother? So, I wanted to go to great lengths to take them over. You wouldn't have to suffer so much in the future. It's not for my sake!"
Murong Xue broke free from the person holding her down, and a kind woman stepped forward to help her untie the rope.
After removing the cloth from her mouth, she was about to question her father. Still, upon hearing his words about doing it for the sake of the family, she fell silent.
Hateful! Her father had such thoughts. Why didn't he tell her earlier? He made her worry for two days, almost causing her mental breakdown.
