The disease was cured, but his voice was completely ruined.

Lu Jinan's voice was clearly agitated. "How can he marry into the Eastern Palace for me if his voice is hoarse?"

Grand Tutor Jinfu patted Lu Jinan's back soothingly, her voice gentle, "Just make up an excuse and say he ate something bad and ruined his voice. Her Highness only has the Princess Royal in her heart. He'll just be a decoration if he marries into the East Palace. What's the big deal whether he can speak or not?"

Lu Jinan was happy again. He kicked Lu Jinshu on the shoulder with a very arrogant look on his face. "You weren't even listed in the Lu family's genealogy before. Now you marry the princess in my place and become the eldest son of the Lu family. It's really a bargain for you. You should be grateful and think about the fact that this wealth and glory you have is given to you by me."

Lu Jinshu's body was unstable after being kicked, and he subconsciously used his palm to support the ground. A piece of broken porcelain happened to pierce the palm of his right hand. He felt so much pain that tears suddenly came out and he let out a painful groan.

Lu Jinan was about to kick Lu Jinshu a few more times, but Taifu Jinfu reached out and stopped him, "Alright, Lu Jinshu will be marrying into the Eastern Palace in a few days. If you cripple him, he won't be able to complete the wedding ceremony with the Princess, and it will be a disgrace to our Lu family."

After the Grand Tutor had finished speaking, she waved her hand to signal the attendants to take Lu Jinshu away and settle him down.

Lu Jinan started talking about other topics with Taifu Xinfu again. From beginning to end, neither of them cared about Lu Jinshu's feelings.

When Lu Jinshu was born, he was thrown into a country village like garbage. He grew up with great difficulty until now, and was taken back home without any explanation and pushed into the man-eating fire pit of the Eastern Palace.
