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

Upon returning to her residence, Fu Shuwan happened to run into her elder brother, Fu Hexuan.

"Where did Wanwan go to play again?" Fu Hexuan had just come out of Master Fu's study and was about to go out to run errands.

"elder brother!"

Fu Shuwan stomped her foot, "In my brother's eyes, do you think I only know how to have fun all day long? Can't I be doing something serious?"

"Oh, what important business did Wanwan go to do? Why don't you tell me, brother?" Fu Hexuan said cooperatively.

“Of course,” Fu Shuwan smiled slyly, “It’s a secret, I won’t tell you.”

“Sigh, Wanwan has grown up and has her own little secrets now.” Fu Hexuan feigned sadness. “Maybe before long, she’ll forget about her older brother.”

"Brother~", Fu Shuwan leaned over and acted coquettishly, then said seriously, "Brother, stop fooling around. I have something important to discuss with you and Father. Father is in the study."

Fu Hexuan rarely saw her so serious, and he was a little unaccustomed to it, but he still said earnestly, "Yes, I just came from my father's place."

"Row."

Master Fu's study.

When Master Fu saw that Fu Hexuan had returned and brought Fu Shuwan with him, he said kindly, "Xuan'er, did you forget something? Why did you bring Jiaojiao with you?"

"Father, I have something very important to tell you and my brother."

Seeing Fu Hexuan shake his head and Fu Shuwan look serious, Old Master Fu dismissed the servants and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Did someone bully you? I'll back you up."

"No, no, I'm perfectly fine." Fu Shuwan pulled him and Fu Hexuan to sit down in front of her, then sat opposite them and said:

“A few days ago I had a dream in which I saw a Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva showed me things for the future, one of which was that our Fu family would suffer a calamity, our family business would be lost, my elder brother would lose his leg, my eldest sister would be banished to the cold palace, and you and Mother would also…”

"Wanwan, dreams are always the opposite of reality, don't take them seriously." Seeing Fu Shuwan's frightened expression and pale face, Fu Hexuan hurriedly comforted her.

"Yes, Jiaojiao, have your maid light some calming incense later. Have you been a little tired lately?" Master Fu asked with concern.

“I didn’t believe it at first, but I saw the head of the Pei family come to visit me in my dream. That day, I deliberately went to the reception hall to look for my father in order to confirm this matter, and sure enough, I saw him.”

Seeing that they didn't believe her, Fu Shuwan added, "I also know that there's a money exchange in the east of our city that will be robbed soon. Father can send someone to keep an eye on it in advance."

"By the way, there's a secret passage under Father's bed in his study that leads directly to the back mountain. That's the path we used to escape in the dream."

Fu Hexuan looked at Fu Shuwan in surprise. It seemed that even Master Fu was somewhat relenting, as he seemed to know about this matter.

"Father, brother, what do you think of our Fu family?" Seeing their reaction, Fu Shuwan changed the subject.

"What aspect does Wanwan want to ask about?" Fu Hexuan was puzzled by her sudden mention of this matter.

“Our Fu family has been operating in Jiangcheng for many years. Since my father’s time, we have developed the Fu family into the leading merchant family in the south. It’s no exaggeration to say that we are as rich as a country.”

Fu Shuwan paused, and Fu Hexuan and Master Fu felt that she had not finished speaking, so they did not respond.

"But all land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people within the realm are his subjects. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside our bed? Although our Fu family is currently prosperous, who says what comes after the flowers and brocade, the blazing fire and the boiling oil? Do you understand what I mean?"

They were startled. Master Fu recalled that Fu Shuwan had been frequently visiting Pei Yuning these past few days, so he asked, "Did the Pei family head tell you these things?"

“No, these are all things that the Bodhisattva told me in my dream.” Fu Shuwan shook her head.

"What else did she want to say? Jiaojiao, tell your father in detail." Master Fu asked when he saw that Fu Shuwan was hesitant to speak.

Fu Shuwan mustered her courage and said, "The Bodhisattva also said that everyone knows about the Southern Fu and Northern Pei. The head of the Pei family is His Majesty's cousin. They grew up together and have a close relationship. His Majesty naturally trusts him."

But our Fu family is far from the capital, and we have no trusted confidants in the court. Father realized this, which is why he sent my elder sister to the palace to curry favor with His Majesty.”

Fu Shuwan paused and continued, "But the inner palace is not allowed to interfere in politics. My sister's entry into the palace is only for peace of mind and cannot eliminate the hidden dangers."

His Majesty's current favor towards my sister is only out of respect for the Fu family. He will definitely turn against the Fu family in the future, and the Fu family's ultimate fate will be exactly what she showed me.

"Did the Bodhisattva in your dream tell you all this?" Master Fu asked hesitantly.

"Yes, Father, the Bodhisattva said that although our family is extremely wealthy, we always do good deeds and have never committed any crimes."

Moreover, my parents were virtuous people for many lifetimes, their merits complete. It was out of this respect that she wanted to show our family a clear path.

Fu Shuwan glanced at them and stopped keeping them in suspense: "The Bodhisattva said that as long as our Fu family can take the initiative to show loyalty to the Emperor, our whole family can be saved."

"But how do we demonstrate this loyalty? By presenting our patriarch's order?" Fu Hexuan asked.

"No!" Master Fu interrupted him sharply. "Anyone who carries the family head's order can freely dispose of our Fu family's assets. If the Emperor lets someone else take over the Fu family, we may be safe, but your sister will have no one to rely on in the palace."

Sending Tongtong into the palace was a last resort. If she were left alone and helpless in the palace without the Fu family as her support, what would become of her? I, as her father, am unwilling to accept this.”
