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

As luck would have it, Pei Yuning, who happened to be in the restaurant, saw this scene and ordered someone to invite Fu Shuwan up.

Fu Shuwan entered the private room with a puzzled look on her face. When she saw that it was Pei Yuning, she sat down without any ceremony.

"Miss Fu, are you finally able to leave the manor openly?" Pei Yuning handed her a cup of hot tea and asked with a smile.

"Hey, we agreed not to mention this." Fu Shuwan glared at Pei Yuning and didn't take his tea.

“It was Pei’s fault. Pei will punish himself with a cup of wine.”

Pei Yuning finished his tea in one gulp, then gestured to Fu Shuwan before she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip with a "I'll let you off the hook" look on her face.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Pei Yuning chuckled: "Miss Fu is really impatient. Very well, I'll get straight to the point. I just want to know how you obtained that jade pendant. I wonder if you can grant me this small request."

Fu Shuwan looked at him: "Why are you asking so many questions? Do you know the owner of this jade pendant?"

“I do know him.” Pei Yuning thought of Fu Shuwan’s angry expression last time and decided not to reveal the truth for the time being.

Fu Shuwan stared intently at Pei Yuning, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and said suspiciously, "Looking at you this way, your eyes do resemble that little thief's somewhat. Could it be that you are that little thief's father?"

Pei Yuning almost choked on the tea in his mouth. He coughed a few times and was about to speak when Fu Shuwan interrupted him again.

"No, ten years ago that bastard looked to be around ten years old, now he should be in his twenties, right? You should be thirty, right? At this age, could it be that you are that bastard's older brother?"

Pei Yuning felt a pang of heartache and retorted, "I am currently in my early twenties."

"You're only twenty?" Fu Shuwan took a sip of water guiltily and muttered to herself, "Aren't you the head of the family? So young? That shouldn't be the case. Father didn't tell me you were this young either."

Pei Yuning coughed lightly, interrupting Fu Shuwan's mutterings: "Judging from what Miss Fu said, it seems that she is quite dissatisfied with the person who left the jade pendant."

"It's more than just dissatisfaction. If I find out who that bastard is, I'll definitely find someone to beat him up to vent my anger."

Fu Shuwan gritted her teeth, seemingly recalling what the person in front of her had said about knowing that person, and asked, "Do you know where he is?"

"This……"

Seeing that Pei Yuning remained silent, Fu Shuwan put her hands on her hips and glared at him, saying, "What, you still want to protect him?"

"No, that's not true. I only know that Miss Fu did that person a great favor. That person wanted me to ask if Miss Fu had anything she wanted, and he would do his best to fulfill it."

“Go tell him that all I want is for him to tie himself up and come to me willingly so I can give him a good beating.”

Fu Shuwan cracked her knuckles, her desire to punch someone completely exposed.

Pei Yuning lowered his head guiltily and took a sip of water, then calmly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message for you."

"Since that's the case, I'll be going now. I've finally gotten out of the manor, and I was thinking of buying some of the latest storybooks. Bye, bye, remember to pass on my message to him." Fu Shuwan finished the last sip of tea in her cup and left.

After Fu Shuwan left, Pei Jiu, who was standing guard to the side, asked, "Master, have you confirmed that it was Miss Fu?"

"Eight or nine out of ten."

"What heinous thing did the patriarch do back then that made Miss Fu hold a grudge until now?" Pei Shi shook his head and sighed inwardly, but his eyes couldn't hide his desire to gossip.

"Tenth Brother, don't be rude," Pei Jiu scolded.

"It's alright." Pei Yuning seemed to recall the scene from back then and chuckled. "I did not handle things properly that day."

They refused to reveal any further details.

Ten years ago, the former head of the Pei family listened to the slander of his concubine and sent Pei Yuning to Jiangcheng to investigate and expand business.

After Pei Yuning left the Pei family's territory, the concubine sent more than a dozen groups of assassins, wanting him to die outside to clear the way for her own son.

Although he had prepared his troops, he still couldn't withstand the enemy's overwhelming numbers.

After killing the last batch, all his men perished inside, and he himself was severely wounded. Under the cover of night, he hid in a temple.

It was a coincidence that he was exhausted at the time, and he entered the room where Fu Shuwan was. The young Fu Shuwan was about to call for help when he silenced her by pressing her pressure point.

He threatened Fu Shuwan, demanding that she apply the medicine to him, or he would make her mute for life.

Fu Shuwan wasn't as bold as she is now. At the age of four or five, with tears in her eyes, she didn't dare to disturb the servants. She tremblingly helped him take off his clothes and sprinkled the medicine he handed her on his body.

After doing all that, he regained some strength, so he asked her to lead the way to the servants' quarters to get some clothes, and then knocked her unconscious.

That night was the first time he had shared a bed with someone. Smelling the faint milky scent on the little girl, he slept well, which was rare for him. After cleaning up the traces in the morning, he left behind the only valuable thing he had on him, the jade pendant.

Thinking about it this way, it's understandable that he would complain about her. After all, she was peacefully staying in her room when he suddenly showed up, muted her, threatened her, and finally knocked her unconscious.

Pei Yuning hadn't thought about it much before, but now, recalling Fu Shuwan's expression today, he found it amusing, which surprised Pei Jiu and Pei Shi, who were standing to the side.
