Yes, Lady Funina!

Volume 120: Chapter Richard's Harem Theory - Proposer: Clorinde

"So when Ningguang and I went to see the musical, Shen He came to our house again?" Funina said to the other two members of the tea guarding team.

"To be exact, it was Ms. Xianyun who brought Shen He to our door," Clorinde corrected.

"There are still two!" Funina's eyes widened.

"Well, I don't think Ms. Xianyun has any thoughts like that towards Richard." Clorinde recalled Xianyun's attitude towards Richard at that time.

"The way she looked at Richard was like a vegetable farmer looking at a pig digging up cabbages." Linnet gave an accurate description.

Fininna held her chin with her jade hand and said through gritted teeth: "Liyue's cabbage is really rude."

Come to cheat! Come to sneak attack!

He actually played a trick on her! How despicable!

Fu Nina did not ignore Shen He, but this disciple of Liyue Immortal was too mysterious and she could not find any information about him. It can be said that her current understanding of Shen He still only stayed at Richard's introduction when they met.

As for the sudden attack by Shen He and Xian Yun, Funina did not blame Clorinde and Linnet for not stopping Richard from going to the appointment. After all, Richard was free, and Linnet and Clorinde obviously had no reason not to let Richard meet his old friends.

"How are things going over there?" Clorinde asked curiously.

Have you ever killed that Tianquan star?

"..."Funina did not answer, but killed the man on the horse. It was good enough that she could hold the position.

Fortunately, Ningguang is from Liyue and cannot stay in Fontaine all the time. If she stayed in Fontaine all the time, there would be no place for them.

When Linnet saw that Funina was silent, she guessed that the so-called demonstration plan had failed and was still a bit far from the expected goal. Otherwise, with Funina's character, she would definitely announce her victory to them as soon as possible and take the initiative to ask to replicate these operations on Shen He.

"Can you tell me the details?" Linnet asked.

Funina briefly told her allies about the confrontation with Ningguang last night, focusing on the drama and the jade pendant.

Even with just a brief explanation, Linnett realized how difficult Ningguang was. Furniture's failure was indeed justified, as the opponent had no fewer cards than them.

After listening to Fernina's narration, Clorinde discovered a blind spot: "Where are the clothes?"

Why didn’t the clothing card get played?

Upon hearing this, Funina sighed deeply. She didn't want to say this because in the first two matches, it could only be said that both sides won and lost. But in the matter of clothes, even a proud person like Funina had to admit that she had indeed lost.

But the loss was not because of the clothes, but because of the layout.

It is true that the clothes that Funina wore last night were bought by Richard, but Ningguang told her that there were clothes she bought in Richard's closet.

This sentence alone killed the game.

"It's not about how much the other party has paid, but how much you have paid for the other party, right?" Linette understood. As expected, Funina was no match for the other party.

Even though we had so many advantages first and the most important home advantage, we were still tied by the opponent.

Of course, it was because Ningguang’s rank was too high, but more importantly, it was because of Funina’s on-the-spot performance problems. She only had theoretical knowledge but lacked corresponding practice.

Summary--too little experience in palace fighting.

Clorinde was a little surprised. In comparison, she and Linnet were only facing small bosses, and the real main output was from Funina.

G...wait! Clorinde thought of a problem, that is, she was not like Furninna and Linnet who liked Richard, she was just greedy for his body, why did she have nothing to do with it?

Isn't it better to just watch the fire from the other side of the river?

However, this idea was quickly rejected by her. Although the Li army had fierce firepower, they had only been in Fontaine for two weeks!

The prerequisite for Clorinde to watch the fire from the other side of the river is that the two sides must maintain a long-term confrontation, but Ningguang obviously cannot do that for a long time. Given her identity, it is impossible for her to stay in Fontaine and compete with Funina and others for men.

If Clorinde did not make her position clear early on, she would have to face the reckoning from Funina and Linnet as soon as Ningguang left.

"Claurinde, you look so absorbed, what are you thinking about?" Furninda set her eyes on Clorinde who had been thinking with her head down.

Seeing that Clorinde was so absorbed in thought, she thought that her military advisor had come up with some good idea for her.

Little did she know that her military advisor was just thinking about how to stand on the side of justice forever.

Clorinde had learned her lesson from her previous slips of the tongue, and although she was thinking about all sorts of things, she did not make any low-level mistakes this time.

"I was wondering, Lady Fininna, why should we fight against Ningguang and the others instead of choosing to cooperate with them?"

"Cooperation?" Furninna's eyes widened. She raised her hand and touched Clorinde's smooth forehead. She thought that she must have a fever, otherwise why would she say such a thing?

There is only one Richard. If he cooperates with Ningguang, what should Richard do? He can't be split in half and give one to each person, right?

"If we can't cooperate, then what are we doing now?" Clorinde pointed at Linnet. If you really want to count, Linnet is also Furninna's love rival, and she is half of it. Shouldn't they still cooperate now?

"This is different." Furninha felt that Clorinde was trying to confuse the concept. They formed a partnership because they didn't want Richard to leave Fontaine. How could this be the same?

Moreover, Ningguang is from Liyue, Clorinde and Linnet are from Fontaine, and she is the water god of Fontaine. From a geographical standpoint, they are natural allies.

"This has nothing to do with anyone, Lady Furninna. Even if Richard leaves for Liyue, either Linnet or I can go with him. This is not a problem at all."

But I can’t leave! Funina thought depressedly.

She is the water goddess of Fontaine and has a heavy responsibility. If she leaves, what will happen to Fontaine? What will happen to the crisis?

"Of course, considering that you are the water god of Fontaine, Master Funina, you are not as flexible as us in terms of actions, but have you ever thought about a question?"

"what is the problem?"

"Richard doesn't have to have only one girlfriend. He can have more than one partner of the opposite sex. If you care about the titles, then a girlfriend is a girlfriend, a lover is a lover, and a beloved is a beloved..."

"Pfft! Cough cough..."

After these words were spoken, even Linnet, who was drinking tea in seclusion nearby, was choked by Clorinde's shocking remarks.

My god, a girlfriend is a girlfriend and a lover is a lover!

Clorinde, are you awake?

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?

"Are you surprised? As far as I know, this situation is very common among the upper class in Fontaine. In addition to their wives, a noble or wealthy gentleman often has one or more shameful lovers."

"Well... this situation isn't limited to men." Linnet nodded in agreement with Clorinde's statement.

After all, as far as Linnet knew, many noble ladies often had their own lovers, and some even played around and shared lovers, both male and female, between couples.

Very messy.

"But, but this is different..." Finina had also heard about what Clorinde said. She had seen many such cases in the court. From noble officials to ordinary people, it couldn't be said to be common, but there were definitely quite a few.

These are just the ones who were caught. Some people simply chose not to get married in order to circumvent the laws of Fontainebleau.

After all, the laws of Fontaine only protect legal marriages, not de facto marriages?

"What's the difference?"

"Too, too indecent! I can't accept it!" Furninna's words were full of resistance. The emotion she longed for should be the kind of pure and flawless, the kind that lasts a lifetime with one partner, not the kind of being someone else's wings.

"Let's talk about it from another angle. Lady Finina, have you ever thought about what would happen if Richard chose someone else? Would you give up? Would you be willing?"

"I... I can bear it." Furniture felt that if it really came to that and Richard really chose someone else, although she would be very uncomfortable, she could still resist the urge to disturb the other person. This was her last bit of self-respect and dignity.

She is very good at enduring pain.

"Even if you can endure it, what about others? What if Richard chooses you in the end, but Ningguang, Linnet and the others refuse to give up?" Clorinde said.

Linnet looked at Clorinde, her eyes clearly asking, why don't you use yourself as an example?

Furninna looked at Linnet and asked, "Will you do this then?"

Linnet was silent for a moment, "I don't know."

This sentence "I don't know" already let Funina know her answer.

――will do this.

"But so what? Richard has already chosen me." Funina argued.

Clorinde shook her head. "Lady Fernina, is there any cat in the world that doesn't steal fish?"

"I believe in Richard!" Furninna said with a firm look in her eyes. She firmly believed that Richard was the special one.

"Lady Furnina, even if Richard can really resist all kinds of temptations, what if they start with you?"

"What are you talking about! Am I that kind of indecent person?" Finina was very angry. Richard was able to reject all kinds of temptations from the outside world for her, so how could she not do it?

"I'm not questioning your character. What I mean is that trust can be consumed. Suppose Ningguang sets up various coincidences to make you believe that Richard has 'betrayed' you. What will you do then?"

"I..." Furninna wanted to say that such a situation would not happen, but her reason told her that it was possible.

"Are you going to forgive me, or are you going to cut ties with me right now?"

"If you choose to forgive, and forgive this time, then what about next time? What about the next time? What if he refuses to change after repeated admonitions?"

Stop talking, I'm already angry. Just thinking about that scene, Fu Nina felt sick.

"After making compromises time and again, the other party continued to push for more. The love was worn out, leaving only suffering and torture. Ms. Funina, who could no longer bear it, finally had enough of Mr. Richard's philandering and decided to break up with him."

"The former losers were overjoyed and immediately filled up the vacant seats. In order to prevent the tragedy of Funina from happening to themselves, they not only turned a blind eye to Richard's behavior, but even took the initiative to propose adding a few seats..."

"Everyone got a satisfactory result, except Funina who couldn't stand it and left the table angrily.

Clorinde watched as Furninha told her her analysis word for word.

Furninna was silent. She knew very well that what Clorinde described was possible and the probability was not small.

"Of course, in reality, this situation is unlikely to happen." Clorinde changed the subject and denied her own guess.

After hearing Clorinde's words, Furninna raised her head and hope rekindled in her eyes.

But Clorinde said the next moment: "Because if Lady Finina insists on your idea, then Richard will most likely not choose you."

"Why?" Furninna asked unconvincedly. Although you, Clorinde, have big breasts, you can't deny my charm, right?

Why do you say that Richard is unlikely to choose me?

"It's very simple, Lady Finina. Would you give up a forest for a tree?"

"You want to have it all to yourself. If someone with similar conditions, or even slightly worse, but willing to share comes out to snatch it from you, who would you choose if you were Richard?"

"How can there be such a person!" said Funina angrily.

"Yes, there are many more. You may not know that there is a special term for this behavior, called 'involution'."

Then Clorinde gave many more examples in this regard, such as merchants actively reducing prices to attract more customers, workers actively working overtime to get promoted, and applicants actively reducing their salaries to get ideal jobs...

There are so many examples of this kind. Is it so difficult to turn a blind eye for the person you love?

Well, it's difficult, but it's not impossible.

Anyway, Clorinde herself could accept it. Of course, this was mainly because unlike her and Furninnarinette, she only coveted Richard's body. As for who Richard liked or how many he liked, she didn't care... Well, it can't be said that she didn't care at all, but she definitely didn't care that much, which was acceptable.

There is a saying, I just want to be the county magistrate's wife. I don't care who the county magistrate is.

To put it in Clorinde's case, I only want Richard's body, and she doesn't care whether this body belongs to her alone.

In response, Clorinde persuaded Funina earnestly, "Lady Funina, we need to open up our minds."

No, what we are saying is that this pattern can be opened up, but you are going too far, isn't it too outrageous?

Furninna still couldn't accept it, but that didn't mean that Clorinde's words had no effect. After all, Furninna's attitude had obviously softened compared to the beginning.

Linnett felt that both Furninda and Clorinde were thinking too much.

All I heard was the pretty girl holding the teacup slowly speaking, "I think rather than how many girlfriends Richard will find, we should worry more about how to get him to find a girlfriend, right?"

Isn’t it a bit too ambitious to think about what dishes to cook before you even set up the pot?

Volume 121: Chapter Ningguang: Sharing a husband? I don't mind

It seems... Linnette is right?

Finina and Clorinde looked at each other. What was the point of them talking about all these nonsense now? Richard had no such thoughts at all.

Even though Richard would tease them from time to time, this guy was a scumbag. He was only responsible for teasing and didn't show any other expression after that.

This guy makes people feel itchy and then just walks away. This is the guy I'm talking about!

It's really hateful!

"You're right, just do as Clorinde says." Funina said listlessly.

Apparently she also realized that instead of competing with Ningguang and Shenhe, it would be better to think of a way to make Richard become "normal".

At least he should be like a normal man. He can't be surrounded by a bunch of beautiful girls every day, and then abide by the rules and regulations like a monk and not have any worldly desires, right?

With this thought in mind, Funina found Ningguang again, and her first words stumped Ningguang.
