Yueyao didn't know what expression she wore: "And then?"
Ma Peng's expression was very indifferent, and he said, "Then Ma Yue gambled away all of the Ma Family's assets and owed countless gambling debts. Creditors came knocking, and Ma Yue wanted to sell the house with Lady Cheng to pay off the debts, but the house deed was in my hands, and without my consent, they couldn't sell it. But I knew very well that if the old house was sold, the Ma Family would completely collapse. At that time, I was worried that Lady Cheng and Ma Yue would use tactics to force me to hand over the deed, so I had a trusted confidant take these two things back to the hometown and give them to the Clan Leader. Unexpectedly, it wasn't Lady Cheng and Ma Yue who turned on me, but Cheng Lizi. Who could have imagined that the person next to his pillow would turn against him?
