Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

"Miss, Miss Ruoyu has arrived and is waiting for you outside."

Fu Shuwan returned late last night and was sleeping soundly when she was woken up by her maid Zifu, who came in directly.

Since the original owner was favored, Madam Fu arranged four maids for her: Wenzhu, Zizhu, Wenfu, and Zifu.

Unexpectedly, Zi Fu had already been bribed by Fu Ruoyu. She often spoke highly of Fu Ruoyu to the original owner. Fu Ruoyu's various schemes in her previous life were also due to Zi Fu's "help".

Since that's the case, then let's keep them for now, but they still need to be properly disciplined. Fu Shuwan stood up and shouted, "Kneel down."

"What's wrong, Miss? I've come to help you get up."

Relying on her usual favor, Zi Fu naturally did not want to kneel, and went forward on her own to help Fu Shuwan change her clothes.

"Wenzhu, make her kneel down."

The other three maids heard the noise and rushed over.

Wenzhu was a strong maid specially chosen by Madam Fu, thinking that if Fu Shuwan encountered any trouble while out, this maid could be of use.

"Yes." Wenzhu walked over, kicked Zifu's knee, and pinned her down.

"Miss, did I do something wrong? I only came to wake you up when I saw Miss Ruoyu arrive. Isn't that how it always is?"

Zi Fu struggled to no avail, so she brought up Fu Ruoyu, hoping that Fu Shuwan would let her off the hook.

“You are my maid, and a maid should act like a maid. I am still sleeping. Who gave you permission to come in and wake me up?”

Fu Shuwan said in the original owner's tone, "Wenzhu, cover her mouth and drag her to the woodshed to kneel for two hours to reflect on her actions. Zizhu Wenfu, I need to wash up."

"Yes."x3

Seeing Fu Shuwan like this, Zi Fu could only resign herself to her fate and lower her head, her resentment towards Fu Shuwan increasing.

The other three, who were used to seeing Zi Fu bullying her mistress, naturally wouldn't plead for her this time; they were more than happy to let her kneel a little longer.

Fu Shuwan was dressed neatly and made up appropriately. After finishing her breakfast, she slowly let Fu Ruoyu in.

Madam Fu did not want Fu Ruoyu to have much contact with Fu Shuwan. She only allowed Fu Ruoyu to continue living in the Fu residence out of respect for Fu Shuwan. However, if Fu Ruoyu wanted to enter Fu Shuwan's courtyard, she would need Fu Shuwan's personal permission.

The original owner would usually agree to let Fu Ruoyu in as soon as she learned that she was coming.

Today, Fu Ruoyu had been waiting outside for almost an hour, which was unusual for her. She was already quite impatient, but since she needed something from him, she had no choice but to be patient. However, she couldn't help but complain a few times: "Why is Wanwan so late today? I've been waiting outside for ages."

"It's all Zi Fu's fault for being so reckless. I only remembered that Sister Ruo Yu was still waiting outside after I finished getting ready. But don't worry, Sister, I've already taught her a lesson."

Fu Shuwan, still acting affectionately, pulled Fu Ruoyu along and said...

Fu Ruoyu sighed inwardly at Zi Fu's uselessness, but said aloud, "Zi Fu is a bit immature, but she is still very loyal to Wanwan. Wanwan, don't punish her too harshly."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Sister Ruoyu, is there something you need that you called me so early today?" Fu Shuwan changed the subject, appearing obedient and compliant.

Fu Ruoyu was naturally pleased with Fu Shuwan's obedience, so she brought up the important matter she had come for today: "Wanwan, I came to see you because I really have something I want you to help me with."

"Don't worry, Sister Ruoyu, I'll definitely help if there's anything I can," Fu Shuwan assured, patting her chest.

"It's like this, the Peach Blossom Banquet is in a few days, and as you know, I've already come of age and am now at the age where I should be looking for a partner. I'm hoping to make a good impression at the Peach Blossom Banquet."

“What’s so great about this? It’s just the same few people at the Peach Blossom Banquet, year after year. What’s the point?” Fu Shuwan didn’t agree with her and instead complained.

Seeing her like this, Fu Ruoyu pretended to be aggrieved and wiped away her tears, saying, "I know that, but my background is not as good as Wanwan's. My family is also pressuring me. I only hope that I can find a good way out for myself at the Peach Blossom Banquet. Wanwan, do you want to help your sister?"

"Of course I'll help." Fu Shuwan went along with her, wanting to see what she was really up to.

In her previous life, Fu Ruoyu hadn't come to her door so early to discuss the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Having taken the bait, Fu Ruoyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and curled her lips into a smile, still looking troubled: "Wanwan knows that I am not favored at home and don't usually wear any jewelry. Could Wanwan lend me some jewelry?"

"jewelry?"

"Yes, if it's inconvenient, that's fine. I still have some old stock from last year, it's no big deal." Fu Ruoyu feigned reluctance.

"Of course, Wenfu, please bring me my jewelry box. Sister Ruoyu, take whatever you like, don't be shy."

Although Wenfu was unwilling that Fu Ruoyu always came to her young mistress to ask for favors, she could not refuse her mistress's wishes, so she could only reluctantly take out the sandalwood box containing the jewelry.

Fu Ruoyu was secretly delighted.

She rummaged around for a while, and when she saw the jade pendant, she pretended to take out a bracelet, and then took out the jade pendant as well, saying, "Wanwan, I'll choose this bracelet. I'm still missing a pendant, could you give me this jade pendant as well?"

Seeing that Fu Ruoyu had been picking and choosing for so long, and that her purpose was this jade pendant, Fu Shuwan became suspicious.

(Seven Seven, isn't the female lead acting a bit strange? Didn't she take the jade pendant after the Peach Blossom Banquet?)

【I'll check right away.】

Seeing that Fu Shuwan remained silent for a long time, Fu Ruoyu became somewhat anxious and deliberately said:

"I've never seen Wanwan wear this jade pendant before, and I thought she didn't like it. If Wanwan doesn't want to give it to me, then forget it, and consider it my sister asking too many questions."

She pretended to put the jade pendant back into the box, but her movements were very slow, as if she was waiting for Fu Shuwan to speak.

Seeing this, Fu Shuwan smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Sister Ruoyu, take it if you want it. It's not anything valuable. Why don't you look at something else, Sister Ruoyu?"

Seeing that she had succeeded, Fu Ruoyu didn't linger and said, "This is enough. I suddenly remembered that I need to pick up the dress from the Peach Blossom Banquet today, so I'll be going now. I'll come find you again next time." After saying that, she left in a hurry.

[Wanwan, I'm back! I found out, the female lead is actually a reincarnated character.]

(No wonder.)

In her previous life, she married the male lead as she wished and lived the prestigious life of a mistress of the household. However, the male lead was obsessed with his career and treated her merely as a decorative object in his home. Unable to bear the loneliness, she had an affair. When the male lead discovered this, he sold her to a brothel.

(Given a second chance at life, does she still plan to marry the male lead?)

Yes, she still couldn't bear to give up the life of luxury she would have enjoyed after marrying the male lead. She had just been reborn this morning and rushed over as soon as she figured out the situation.

However, she felt confident that with her experience in the brothel, she could definitely win the male lead's heart. [Wanwan, why did you give her the jade pendant so easily?]

(It's okay, you forgot, Pei Yuning already saw me wearing the jade pendant last night. What do you think he'll think when he sees Fu Ruoyu wearing it?)

[Oh right, so that's where Wanwan's advice came in. Wanwan was so prescient.]

(Seven Seven, you'll need to keep a close eye on Fu Ruoyu from now on. If we start over, her plans might be different from the previous life.)

Don't worry, Wanwan, I've got it covered.
