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

Since returning that day, Madam Fu punished Fu Shuwan by making her copy books and confining her to her quarters. She also blocked up the dog hole in the courtyard and would send people to check on her from time to time to see if she was still there.

The maid that Pei Yuning sent also entered her courtyard. She was said to know martial arts and had some medical knowledge. She did show Fu Shuwan a few stick techniques, which were quite good. As for her medical skills, she hadn't had a chance to test them yet.

Fu Shuwan named her Zisu, which took the place of Zifu.

In addition, Madam Fu has recently become obsessed with showing portraits to Fu Shuwan, and has collected all the portraits of eligible young men in Jiangcheng.

Every day when Fu Shuwan went to pay her respects, she would whisper in Fu Shuwan's ear about this promising young man, that handsome young woman, or tell Fu Shuwan stories of how difficult and bitter it was for girls who married far away.

For a concrete example of this, one can refer to the eldest sister who married far away to the capital.

After listening for a day, Fu Shuwan changed the maid she brought to pay her respects to each day to Zisu. She was also very interested when discussing it with Madam Fu. Five or six days passed like this.

At the hour of Xu (7-9 PM) that day, after Fu Shuwan finished washing up, he dismissed the servants and sat by the window, which was wide open, lost in thought.

【Wanwan, why have you been looking at the moon through the window every day these past few days? There's nothing really interesting about it.】

(I'm waiting for a man to come to me on his own.)

【Eh? 】

As if on cue, Pei Yuning jumped in from outside the backyard wall and came to Fu Shuwan's window. Seeing that she was dressed in thin clothes, he frowned and gently tapped her head with the handle of his fan: "Wearing so little, are you trying to catch a cold?"

"Pei Yuning." Fu Shuwan stood up in surprise, then realized she was speaking too loudly and, fearing she might disturb the maid, quickly covered her mouth and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

"I don't know who came to my house every day a while ago, but they haven't made a sound these past few days. Since the mountain won't come to me, I'll have to go to the mountain myself."

Pei Yuning smiled, opened his fan, and fanned himself, displaying a rather romantic and talented air.

"I've been locked up in solitary confinement," Fu Shuwan pouted, then slumped back onto the table. "I've been locked up for five days now, it's so boring."

"Bored? I heard that someone has been enjoying looking at portraits and listening to stories lately."

Pei Yuning felt annoyed when he thought of the note sent by Pei Wu, also known as Zisu, and couldn't help but complain a few times.

"No, my mother dragged me to see them. They were so boring." Fu Shuwan said somewhat guiltily, trying to flatter her. "Besides, the people in those portraits were all ugly, not as good-looking as you."

"Want to go out and have fun?" Seeing her like this, Pei Yuning didn't want to say anything more and decided to let her off the hook for the time being.

"I want to, but my mother won't let me."

Fu Shuwan suddenly looked up as if she had just remembered something, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at him: "You've come to take me out to play?"

Pei Yuning nodded with a smile. Seeing that she was about to come out through the window, he quickly pressed her hand and said, "Close the window, change your clothes, and come out through the door. I'll wait for you here."

Fu Shuwan chuckled sheepishly and lowered her leg, which was about to climb out the window: "I just got excited and forgot. Wait for me, I'll be done soon."

"Not urgent."

A moment later, Fu Shuwan rushed out of the room to Pei Yuning and said, "I'm ready, let's go."

Pei Yuning reached out and naturally straightened her clothes, then put his arm around her waist and leaped out of the mansion: "Hold on tight."

Fu Shuwan felt a little shy at Pei Yuning's actions, but she still held onto his waist tightly.

Once they were airborne, she immediately forgot what had just happened and happily looked down from his arms: "Pei Yuning, where are you taking me?"

Pei Yuning held her protectively in his arms, shielding her from the cool night breeze, and steadily carried her towards the tallest pavilion in the city: "You'll know when we get there."

"This is my family's restaurant. I've never been to the rooftop of this place before. It's so high!"

Fu Shuwan stepped out of Pei Yuning's arms and stood on the bricks, still clutching his clothes tightly. Her eyes began to look around with curiosity, and she exclaimed, "It's so beautiful looking down from up here!"

Pei Yuning helped her sit down on the roof.

At this moment, Jiangcheng is brightly lit, and the streets are bustling with people. There are vendors hawking their wares, street performers, and restaurants and shops hawking their wares, adding a lively atmosphere to what should have been a quiet night.

Fu Shuwan looked at the bustling street from the rooftop, with Pei Yuning beside her, his heart and eyes filled with her.

After a while, Pei Yuning said, "Jiaojiao, on my birthday, you gave me a fireworks display. Today, I want to take you to enjoy the fireworks of this world."

"I used to think that the hustle and bustle of this world, the love and affection, were all mixed with interests and were murky."

"But now, looking at this bustling crowd with you, I find all the different aspects of life and all things lovely."

"You once envied the wishing lanterns on the moat, symbolizing vows of growing old together, and you also said you wanted to marry someone who loved you as much as Uncle Fu loved Aunt Fu. Jiaojiao,"

"Hmm?" Fu Shuwan looked up and met Pei Yuning's eyes. Even though there were thousands of lights behind her, his eyes only had eyes for her.

Pei Yuning gently brushed the stray hairs from her face: "I originally wanted to wait until you came of age to talk about it, but Uncle Fu was very wary, and Auntie kept making you look at portraits all day long."

“I already told you that none of the people in those portraits are as handsome as you,” Fu Shuwan retorted softly.

Pei Yuning chuckled: "But I still can't help but worry. What if another person appears who is handsome, gentle, and saves you from harm? What if you fall in love with him?"

"It's not that easy, and I'm not the kind of person who's fickle." Fu Shuwan pretended to be angry and turned her head away.

“Okay, Jiaojiao isn’t that kind of person.” Pei Yuning gently cupped her face and asked, “So, Jiaojiao, would you be willing to give me a chance so that next year, the year after, and every year thereafter, I can accompany you to write down the river lanterns that belong only to the two of us, promising to grow old together.”

"it is good."

The moment Fu Shuwan responded, Pei Yuning leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.
