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

Su Mu followed Lin Shu to the door. Lin Shu asked with some confusion, "Is there anything else, A-Mu?"

Su Mu's face flushed red: "It's...it's Father. He told me to serve my wife tonight so she can rest..."

Lin Shu asked in confusion, "I can manage on my own, there's no need..." Before she could finish speaking, she looked at the increasingly pale face of the man in front of her and immediately understood. She sighed and said, "Then let's rest together."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu's face lit up with joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly followed Lin Shu into the room, then carefully helped her change her clothes. Afterward, Su Mu silently walked to the bedside and gently spread out the bedding.

Seeing his actions, Lin Shu knew he was nervous, but she really didn't plan to do anything to him tonight, so she walked to Su Mu's side and said softly, "Thank you, Amu."

Su Mu raised his head and looked at Lin Shu's cold eyes, which reflected his own image as if she only had eyes for him. He lowered his head and smiled shyly.

The two got into bed together, and Su Mu was so nervous that he was a little stiff.

"Go to sleep. Don't be afraid, I won't touch you." Seeing this, Lin Shu took the initiative to reach out and put her arm around his waist, letting him lean against her.

This body is only seventeen years old after the New Year and is still growing. It's hard to say whether it's suitable for sexual intercourse, especially since she has noticed that she has grown a lot taller recently and is now even taller than Su Mu.

Feeling Lin Shu's body temperature and hearing her say she wouldn't touch him, Su Mu felt a little regretful for some reason, but his heartbeat gradually calmed down, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

Listening to the steady breathing of the person in her arms, Lin Shu slowly closed her eyes...

The next morning.

As the weather grew colder, Su Mu thoughtfully prepared water for Lin Shu to wash up and also provided her with thick cotton clothes.

Dressed neatly, I had just sat down at the dining table when there was a knock at the door. Opening it, a chubby little dumpling nimbly ran in, glancing back at the people behind it as it went:

"Brother, hurry up." Without a doubt, this little dumpling is Li Yun'er.

Only then did everyone notice that behind her was a tall, slender man wearing a hat, and a handsome young servant beside him.

Wearing a hat, her face was obscured, but from her exposed skin, one could tell she was a beauty with skin as smooth as jade. It was said that wealthy families in the county, when a man was betrothed, would cover his face as a sign of fidelity.

"Lin Shu, what a coincidence! I haven't eaten yet either." Li Yun'er swallowed hard as soon as she saw the food in front of Lin Shu.

Su Mu, with his keen eye, took the bowl. "This must be my wife's classmate. It's just simple food; if you don't mind, please join us."

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Li Yun'er looked at Lin Shu upon hearing this, and seeing Lin Shu nod, she smiled and pulled her brother to sit down, introducing them in a familiar manner:

"Lin Shu, this is my elder brother, Li Huanzhi."

After saying that, he turned to Li Huanzhi and said, "Brother, this is my classmate whom I often tell you about, Lin Shu. This is Lin Shu's father, Uncle Xue, and these two are her husbands."

Li Huanzhi rose and bowed, and Su Mu and Song Yun returned the bow: "My name is Su Mu, and this is my second husband, Song Yun. If you ever feel bored in the future, please feel free to come and visit us brothers. We don't have any close friends around here."

"Thank you both, gentlemen." Li Huanzhi's voice was as melodious as a babbling brook, so sweet that it could melt anyone's heart.

"Eat quickly." Lin Shu interrupted, seeing that it was getting late and she didn't want to be late for school.

Everyone then sat down to eat. Li Huanzhi couldn't help but secretly peek at her. His younger sister had mentioned seeing someone even more beautiful than him when she came back earlier. He just smiled, because he had never met anyone who could compare to him in his life, let alone a woman.

Upon seeing him now, he was indeed astonished, but due to his upbringing, even though the Uyghur hat blocked his view and others couldn't see him, he quickly composed himself.

After breakfast, Li Huanzhi spent some time with the Lin family's husband and son-in-law, and gained some understanding of them, feeling that they could become close friends.

Su Mu comes from a scholarly family and is handsome. Although he has a somewhat aloof appearance, he is generous and polite. Song Yun, on the other hand, is well-behaved and cute, like a child who has never grown up.

The three men from the Lin family also enjoyed chatting with Li Huanzhi, and when they left, Xue Wen even told him to come again sometime.

"Young master, didn't you say that Miss was too stupid to distinguish between good and bad, and that you wanted to see Lin Shu's character? How come she's on good terms with her husband?" the servant Yuanbao asked, puzzled.

“Yes, I can see that already. Although Lin Shu is not one to smile, her two husbands talk about their wives all the time, which shows that Lin Shu is a loving wife. No matter how bad a woman is, she can’t be that bad,” Li Huanzhi replied coldly.

“That’s true, if the future queen were also…” Yuanbao thought about it and agreed, feeling sorry for his young master. Just as he was saying that his young master’s fiancée suddenly realized what he was talking about and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Li Huanzhi.

"Let's go." Thinking of his fiancée Liu Qiqi, Li Huanzhi clenched his fingers in disappointment.

Yuanbao knew he had said the wrong thing, so he shut up and dared not say another word.

The journey was so quiet that only the sound of their footsteps could be heard.

……

Academy.

As soon as class ended, Li Yun'er couldn't help but lean close to Lin Shu, winking and whispering:

"Girl, guess what I just heard?"

Seeing her 'ask me what' expression, Lin Shu reluctantly played along: 'What did you hear?'

Li Yun'er immediately spilled everything she had just heard: "It's that 'Zhu's Pastry Shop' again. It was burned down overnight. Isn't that amazing? I heard it was because they did too many bad things and were being targeted for revenge. You're so lucky. Yesterday I was worried they would cause you trouble, but someone took care of them."

"Yeah, lucky." Lin Shu's eyes flickered as she casually agreed.

I thought Li Yun'er would go back after saying that, but then she said, "I also heard that something big happened in Class B a while ago. This person also has the surname Lin, just like you."

Lin Shu gestured for her to continue: "Mm."

"That woman's name is Lin Yue. I heard that she seduced the young master of Master Zhu's family and even pretended to be pregnant. Master Zhu was furious... In order not to affect his daughter's career, Master Zhu had no choice but to marry the young master to her, break off his relationship with the young master, and even inform the dean to expel her from the academy."

Li Yun'er's mouth was dry from talking, so she picked up Lin Shu's teacup and took a big gulp of tea, then continued:

"Not many people knew about this originally, but who knew that Master Zhu's son was a troublemaker who came to the academy and caused a scene, and then everyone knew about it."

Lin Shu was taken aback. No wonder she hadn't seen Lin Yue since entering the academy; so that's what was going on.

"If Lin Yue is expelled from the academy, will she still be able to participate in next year's imperial examination?"
