The shouts of the crowd almost overturned the cave, embodying the essence of menacing ferocity.
Seeing this, if Dong Pingjiang dared to utter another word about marrying into the family, he would probably be beaten up by the mob.
"Hahahaha..."
Dong Pingjiang burst into laughter and said, "I was just joking just now. Our Cloud Palace is marrying off a daughter, not taking in a daughter-in-law...how did we even get to talking about marrying into the family?"
"Is that true?" everyone asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true!"
Dong Pingjiang asserted with righteousness, "I, Dong Pingjiang, am a man of my word, never going back on it. Can't you trust me?"
The crowd shook their heads in unison, "We just can't trust you, where is there any trust to be had?"
Dong Pingjiang: "..."
Finally, under the intimidating pressure of the crowd, looking like fierce spirits and evil fiends, Dong Pingjiang was forced into agreeing to many unequal treaties.
