Female Supremacy and Rise to Power: Lin Shu's Imperial Examination Adventures

Chapter 264 The Sensible Baby, Little Ansi

Feng Yu, with her back to the door, watched as little An Si called out to her "Mama." She reached out and pinched the little chubby cheek, then held up her index finger and shook it in front of An Si's eyes, correcting her:

"I'm Yu's father, not his mother."

"It's Mother!" Seeing that Feng Yu's round face was blocking her mother's view, Xiao Ansi anxiously stretched out her chubby little hands hidden in front of her chest, trying to push Feng Yu away, and kept craning her neck to look behind her.

Just as Feng Yu was about to speak again, she heard Su Mu, who was holding An Si, suddenly speak, his voice filled with excitement, longing and disbelief: "Wife...Master!"

The other adults inside had already noticed Lin Shu standing at the door, and they couldn't help but show their longing and call out softly.

"Yes, I'm back!" Lin Shu's gaze slowly swept over her husbands before she quickened her pace and stepped steadily into the house.

Lin Shu stopped in front of her husbands, looked at the expressions on their faces, and couldn't help but smile. She opened her arms and said in a low, gentle voice:

"Amu, Ayun, Huanzhi, Ayu, I'm back."

Seeing this, Song Yun stood up while holding Xiao Yizhou in his arms and rushed into Lin Shu's arms first; then came the chubby little Feng Yu who belatedly realized what was happening; and then Li Huanzhi;

Even the usually aloof and dignified Su Mu quickly placed his daughter on the bed and rushed towards Lin Shu...

Lin Shu embraced her husbands, listening quietly to their back-and-forth conversation. All four husbands had red eyes and were vying to speak, but she didn't find it noisy at all. Instead, she felt an indescribable sense of warmth and tranquility.

Especially the talkative chubby boy, he was practically lying through his teeth—

"Lin Shu, you're finally back! I've missed you so much..."

"I can't eat anything when you're not here. If I come back any later, I'll get so thin from hunger..."

"..."

Lin Shu looked at the chubby little boy in front of her, her right eyelid twitching incessantly, and her lips twitching, but she didn't refute him in the end...

Su Mu and Li Huanzhi (who could hardly bear to look): "..."

Even his best friend Song Yun couldn't stand it anymore and didn't hesitate to expose him: "My brother clearly has a good appetite. He even snatched An Si's hawthorn strips just now!"

Feng Yu glared at Song Yun, the traitor, and chirped confidently in a low voice, "That's not what I want to eat, it's...it's what the baby in my belly wants to eat..."

"Ha ha……"

"..."

After a while, perhaps because the adults had been talking for too long and neglected the children, Li Huanzhi's twins suddenly started crying loudly in the cradle, as if trying to get the adults' attention.

Upon hearing this, Li Huanzhi hurriedly stepped out of Lin Shu's arms, moved to the cradle, gently rocked it, and softly soothed the child. Then he looked up and said, "By the way, my wife hasn't met these two girls yet."

"Yes, the baby is over a month old, and we're waiting for my wife to come back and name him." Su Muyi gently wiped his slightly reddened eyes and looked at Lin Shu with a smile.

Lin Shu gently stroked his cheek before moving to the cradle, bending down, picking up a rattle, and teasing the child.

Seeing the two children waving their little hands wildly, amused, Lin Shu gently tapped their hands with her index finger and said:

"I've already chosen your names."

“Let’s call the elder sister An Shi and the younger sister An Ge. It’s taken from the poem, ‘A poem in brocade conveys my longing, a clear song wishes you a hundred years of joy.’ What do you think, Huanzhi?”

After Lin Shu finished speaking, she turned around to ask Li Huanzhi for his opinion. However, before he could respond, the two sisters had already tightly grasped Lin Shu's index finger and kept making "ah... ah..." sounds in response.

"Pfft..." Li Huanzhi and Su Mu and the others exchanged glances and laughed in unison.

Su Mu jokingly said to Li Huanzhi, "It seems the two sisters really like this name. Even if Huanzhi doesn't like it, there's nothing he can do about it."

"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother. However, Huanzhi also likes it!" Li Huanzhi said with a hint of shyness, bowing his head.

"Hahaha..." Su Mu was initially pleased by teasing Li Huanzhi, but Song Yun and the chubby boy, unaware of the reason, joined in the laughter, filling the room with cheerful chatter.

After everyone had finished laughing, Lin Shu took Xiao Yizhou from Song Yun's arms and played with him. The little guy was so amused that he couldn't stop laughing and kept giggling.

An Si, who had been placed on the bed by Su Mu, had her little bottom sticking up, her chubby little hands propped on the bed, and she was craning her neck to watch her mother holding and teasing her younger brother, her eyes full of envy and longing that she did not yet understand.

Lin Shu noticed the gaze and turned around to see the chubby little dumpling, who was just as adorable as Feng Yu, staring longingly in her direction. So she picked up Xiao Yizhou and walked over to her.

When Lin Shu arrived at the bedside, An Si was already sitting upright, but her hands were still tightly tucked into her arms, and her usually exposed belly was clenched tightly, as if this would hide the fact that she had gained weight.

Seeing Lin Shu approach, she called out with a serious expression, "Mother!!!"

It's both funny and cute to see a little baby acting like an adult.

Lin Shu gently stroked her soft hair, reached out her free hand, and said softly, "An Si, let Mommy hold you."

The little girl's eyes lit up at first, but when she looked up and saw her mother holding her younger brother, she remembered that she was now a chubby little boy.

So, like a little adult, she shook her head, furrowed her brows, pursed her thin lips, and said in a disappointed yet serious voice, "Mommy, hold my little brother. An Si is fat. Mommy is tired. I won't hold him!"

An Si unconsciously lowered her head, forgetting to put her chubby little hands away, her two index fingers poking and prodding sadly.

In fact, An Si is very sensible. Usually, she will snuggle in Su Mu's arms when Su Mu is sitting, and she walks by herself the rest of the time. She never asks anyone to carry her. But the person in front of her is her mother, and she wants her mother to carry her too!

But she's the older sister, so she has to give way to her younger brother...

Just then, Lin Shu suddenly picked her up with one hand, bounced her around, and said seriously, "An Si isn't fat, Mom will lift you up high."

An Si's eyes lit up, but she immediately looked to her father, Su Mu, for advice, her eyes filled with a longing that seemed to say, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"

Su Mu smiled and nodded encouragingly. An Si then reached out and hugged Lin Shu's neck, her face full of childlike affection and excitement, calling out to Lin Shu repeatedly.

"Mother...mother..."

Lin Shu's other little Yi Zhou also followed her sister's lead, drooling and making "Ah...ah..." noises...

……

at night.

Lin Shu naturally decided to stay in Su Mu's room first.

An Si was still young, so she always shared a room with Su Mu, but there was a small bed placed under the windowsill, and she always slept alone.

But for some reason, An Si, who should have been asleep by now, was full of energy today. She tossed and turned in her small bed, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she hugged her pillow and slowly walked to her father's big bed.

"Mother, Father, what are you doing?"
