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

The next day, Fu Shuwan received permission from Madam Fu to go out.

Considering the Peach Blossom Banquet in half a month, Madam Fu asked Fu Shuwan to go to Jin Yutang to pick out some newly arrived ornaments and check if the jewelry she had ordered before was ready.

Fu Shuwan naturally agreed.

Jin Yu Tang truly lives up to its name, offering a vast array of gold, silver, and jade ornaments.

There weren't many customers coming and going in the store, but they were all wealthy people who spent lavishly.

"Oh, it's Miss Fu! Please come in quickly. Are you here to pick up the jewelry that Mrs. Fu ordered?"

The shop assistants recognized the carriage as belonging to the Fu family and notified the manager before anyone even got off.

"Yes, is it ready? Bring over any other trendy styles for us to take a look."

"Isn't this just the right time? I was planning to send it to you today anyway. Please wait here, I'll go get it for you right away. Ding Quan, Ding Ren, serve the esteemed guest a cup of tea, and bring out the newly arrived goods so the esteemed guest can take a look. Don't neglect the esteemed guest."

"Yes."x2

Fu Shuwan fiddled with the few pieces of fashionable jewelry that had just been brought up, waiting idly.

"Oh, isn't this Fu Shuwan? What's wrong? Business at the Fu family hasn't been going well lately, so you can only afford these little trinkets now?"

The guests were Liu Yunjing, the daughter of the county magistrate, and several daughters of minor officials who were close to her.

Liu Yunjing and Fu Shuwan have been at odds since childhood, and Liu Yunjing always competes with Fu Shuwan in everything.

Fu Shuwan continued fiddling with her things, ignoring her provocation.

“Fu Shuwan, Miss Liu is speaking to you, how dare you not reply to the daughter of the county?” Liu Yunjing’s follower stepped forward first, while Liu Yunjing stood arrogantly in the middle.

"You're not a county magistrate, why should I pay attention to you? If we're talking about status, my sister is a concubine, who's afraid of who?" Fu Shuwan rolled her eyes.

"You." Unable to argue further, Liu Yunjing raised her hand as if to hit her.

"Miss Liu, please wait a moment." Fu Ruoyu happened to come over, bowed, and advised, "Miss Liu, it was my Wanwan who was ignorant and offended you. Please don't take it to heart. I apologize on her behalf, and let's just let this matter go, okay?"

"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk to me?" Liu Yunjing didn't tolerate Fu Ruoyu; she disliked both of them from the Fu family.

"Miss Liu, I am of lowly status and unworthy to speak to you. I... I apologize to you." Fu Ruoyu wiped away her tears at Fu Shuwan, hoping that Fu Shuwan would stand up for her.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Seeing that Fu Shuwan had indeed slammed her hand on the table and started arguing with Liu Yunjing, Fu Ruoyu pretended to mediate, saying, "Wanwan, it's not like that. Miss Liu is the daughter of the county magistrate, and her status is noble. I'm fine. Don't argue with her because of me."

"What, you want to fight me just because you can't win an argument? Come on, I'm not afraid of you."

As Liu Yunjing dodged backward, she shouted, "Fu Ruoyu, don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you're so capable, don't hide behind Fu Shuwan!"

Then, with a look of exasperation, she said to Fu Shuwan, "After all these years, you still haven't seen through her true colors? Are you stupid?!"

The original owner had been at odds with Liu Yunjing for so many years, but unexpectedly, she was someone who could see through Fu Ruoyu's thoughts.

Fu Shuwan concealed her true thoughts and continued acting: "You're the stupid one. If you're so capable, come out from behind your maid."

"Why should I come out just because you tell me to? I won't."

"come out."

"Do not."

"come out."

"Do not."

"Oh dear, my two ancestors, please don't cause trouble in my shop. This is just a small business, and I can't afford to have you causing such a ruckus." Seeing that things were not going well, the shop assistant hurriedly went to fetch the manager. The manager rushed over with a jewelry box in his arms and said to Fu Shuwan, "Miss Fu, the jewelry ordered by Madam Fu has arrived. Please take a look."

The shopkeeper then said to Liu Yunjing in a fawning tone, "Miss Liu, are you here to pick up your jewelry too? Perfect timing, I've brought mine as well. Miss Liu, would you like to take a look?"

"Hmph." x2

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned away in disgust, picking up the jewelry box to examine it.

Madam Fu ordered a set of jade ornaments for Fu Shuwan: a hairpin, a hair ornament with dangling ornaments, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet.

The styles of the hairpins, bracelets, and earrings are quite ordinary, but they are made of top-quality mutton fat jade, which is translucent and warm.

The hair ornament and necklace are made of silver, with white and red jade embellishments that gradually change color like flower petals. A white jade pendant hangs down from the end, sparkling and exquisite.

The necklace is adorned with pearls and jade, and embellished with tassels, exuding a sense of understated elegance amidst its splendor.

Although she already knew how exquisite the jewelry was, Fu Ruoyu was still captivated when she saw it again.

In her past life, she shone brightly at the Peach Blossom Banquet using this very accessory.

In this life, with the addition of the new makeup style popular in her previous life, she will surely be able to trample Fu Shuwan under her feet once again.

Fu Ruoyu imagined that scene and considered the set of jewelry hers for the taking.

Seeing that they were stunned, Liu Yunjing also came over to look and was immediately captivated: "My God, there's even Hongyu! Where did you find the connection?"

After saying that, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed and tried to save face, saying, "It's just so-so, it's still not as good as mine."

Glancing at Fu Ruoyu's expression out of the corner of his eye, he deliberately spoke up, "Fu Shuwan, don't you dare give this away to someone else so easily. I'm still waiting for you to get thrashed at the Peach Blossom Banquet. Let's go."

After saying that, he seemed worried that Fu Shuwan would start arguing with him again, so he hurriedly left.

"Tch, just wait and see how I outshine everyone else." Fu Shuwan shouted at her back, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. This Liu Yunjing is really interesting.

"Sister Ruoyu, I'll be going now. Mother is waiting for me at home."

"Wanwan, my carriage has broken down. Could you give me a ride?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Ladies, take care, and come again soon." The shopkeeper saw off the young ladies and wiped away a bead of sweat.

Fu Shuwan and Fu Ruoyu boarded the carriage. Before the carriage had gone far, Fu Ruoyu took Fu Shuwan's hand and said:

"Wanwan, Mrs. Fu really loves you. She made such beautiful jewelry for you. Unlike me, my father and mother always favor my younger brother, and we don't have much spare money at home."

"Sister Ruoyu, don't think like that. Your aunt and uncle are still very good to you. Didn't you say that your aunt has been busy looking for a husband for you? They still love you very much."

Fu Shuwan naturally knew what Fu Ruoyu was planning, but this time she didn't want Fu Ruoyu to get her way.

"That's true, but my jewelry is still a bit too simple and can't compare to Wanwan's gorgeousness. The Peach Blossom Banquet is in a few days. What should I do?"

Normally, when this topic came up, Fu Shuwan would obediently hand over the jewelry, making Fu Ruoyu feel smug.

"But, Sister Ruoyu, didn't you say that the jewelry at the Peach Blossom Banquet was already enough?"

“This, this…” Fu Ruoyu choked up.

"Could it be that your jewelry was stolen?" Fu Shuwan deliberately offered her an excuse.

"Yes, yes, I only discovered it today. The jewelry I prepared was stolen by a maid and sold. It's gone forever." Fu Ruoyu accepted the reason offered by Fu Shuwan and began to make up a story.

"Ah, Sister Ruoyu, have you sold that person yet? You should send this kind of maid to the government office and lock her up for ten or eight years."

"She...she also has family difficulties, it was a last resort. I've already taken care of it, don't worry. It's just that my jewelry is gone, and I'm still missing a set of jewelry for the Peach Blossom Banquet. How about..."

Seeing that Fu Shuwan hadn't gotten to the point yet, Fu Ruoyu simply asked directly.

"Oh right, the jewelry is gone, that's a big deal." Fu Shuwan looked at Fu Ruoyu's excited face and said slyly, "No wonder Sister Ruoyu went to Jinyutang just now, she must have wanted to buy new jewelry. It's all my fault for taking her away. But it's okay, Sister, you sit down, I'll have the driver take you home. I can walk home by myself. I'm leaving now."

Fu Shuwan pressed Fu Ruoyu, who was about to get up, back onto the cushion. Before the carriage stopped, she jumped off and told the driver to take Fu Ruoyu back to Jinyutang. Then she waved goodbye to Fu Ruoyu, who was peeking out from behind the carriage.

Fu Ruoyu was furious, but she couldn't break off the relationship yet, so she could only grit her teeth and force a fake smile to wave to Fu Shuwan.

After the carriage left, Fu Shuwan stuffed the jewelry box into Wenzhu's arms, told them to go back to the manor first, and then took Zizhu for a leisurely stroll.
