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

The next day, Fu Shuwan dressed up elaborately from head to toe, then took the treasured red robe she had stolen from Master Fu and went to the Pei residence.

“Pei Yuning, I’m here again. Look what I brought you.” Fu Shuwan placed the tea leaves in front of him and looked at him attentively.

"Why did you suddenly think of giving me tea?"

"I knew you were always drinking tea whenever I saw you, so I figured you must love tea. And this tea is my dad's treasured tea, the kind he usually doesn't drink. So I just stole some from him. Do you like it?"

Fu Shuwan pushed the tea leaves toward him.

Pei Yuning took the jar, removed the stopper, and examined it. "It is indeed top-quality Da Hong Pao tea. Please thank Uncle Fu for me. I have some imperial Pu'er tea here. Please take it back and give it to Uncle Fu as a return gift when you leave."

"What about me? What about me? I went through a lot of trouble to get this for you from my father. Aren't you going to thank me?" Fu Shuwan asked him for a reward.

"I seem to recall Miss Fu saying yesterday that she liked me. Is it possible that Miss Fu's liking was just talk and not worth my time?" Pei Yuning calmly sipped his tea.

"Of course it's worth it, what's the big deal?"

Fu Shuwan remained defiant, but then she noticed the exquisite pastries on the table and exclaimed in surprise, "There are pastries? Were they specially prepared for me?" She took a bite, and her eyes lit up. "Wow, so delicious! How are they made?"

"If it's a gift from someone else, you can keep it if you like it." Pei Yuning handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea. "Have some tea with you, so you don't choke."

After finishing her tea, Fu Shuwan waved to Pei Yuning with the air of a hostess and said, "Alright, you go ahead with your work, I won't bother you anymore."

Then he took out the storybook he had prepared earlier, found a spot to eat pastries and read the book, feeling right at home.

Pei Yuning found it somewhat amusing, so he let her be and continued working.

After finishing the book, Fu Shuwan stretched and saw that Pei Yuning was still busy, so she beckoned to Pei Shi, who was serving her, to come over.

Pei Shi glanced at Pei Yuning, and seeing that he didn't react, which meant he agreed, he went out with Fu Shuwan.

As soon as they stepped outside, Fu Shuwan approached them with a mysterious look and asked, "How long have you been following your master?"

"According to Miss Fu, it has been about twelve years." Pei Shi was a little surprised, but it wasn't something he couldn't say, so he obediently replied.

"That's a long time, very good." Fu Shuwan patted his arm and said, "Then I'll test you. Let's see if you know your master."

Pei Shi was quite young and enjoyed having fun. Provoked by Fu Shuwan, he patted his chest and said, "No problem."

Do you know what your master likes?

"Well, the head of the family doesn't have any particular preferences."

"So what does he usually do?"

"Just working and drinking tea."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

Pei Shi wanted to make a name for himself, but unfortunately, the head of the family's daily life was indeed monotonous, and there was nothing to say.

"So simple," Fu Shuwan murmured. "Then when is your family head's birthday?"

"The tenth day of the fifth month."

"That's not very fast."

"But the head of the family doesn't celebrate his birthday."

"Ah, why?"

"This matter is not a secret, but Miss Fu would be better off not saying it in front of the head of the family."

Pei Shi lowered his voice, "This is also a sad story of the family head. I heard it from the wet nurse who took care of the family head since he was a child. The family head's mother died of postpartum hemorrhage when he was born. The former family head disliked him, and the concubine suppressed him, so the family head has never celebrated his birthday."

"That's terrible." After hearing this, Fu Shuwan ran back to the study and looked at Pei Yuning with a pained expression, saying, "Pei Yuning, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future."

After she finished speaking, she seemed a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "It's getting late, I'll come find you again tomorrow," and then left in a hurry.

Pei Yuning was startled by her actions and found it strange. Just then, Pei Shi returned and asked, "What did you say to her?"

"Miss Fu inquired about your preferences and birthday from your subordinates. Perhaps she felt sorry for you after learning about your background. Master, are we about to have a mistress?" Pei Shiba asked gossipingly.

"Aren't you too idle?" Pei Yuning glanced at Pei Shi.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare. Your subordinate will go and see where Miss Fu is, lest she get lost." Pei Shi cupped his hands and hurriedly took his leave.

Pei Yuning looked at the water in the teacup, his emotions churning.
