Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“Could Edith have been captured by angry villagers or volunteer militia members and come to harm?”
Alarmed, Isabel immediately approached Elizabeth and asked.
“Elizabeth, you couldn’t find Edith? And what’s this about binding magic?”
As far as she knew, Elizabeth had no reason to look for Edith—they had neither friendship nor any connection.
Faced with this utterly sincere and innocent question, Elizabeth was momentarily speechless.
She hadn’t even spoken that loudly, yet Elizabeth seemed to have clearly heard the phrase “binding magic,” making it hard to lie.
“It’s… while interrogating Eugene, who’d been serving as court physician, Sophia revealed that she’d cast binding magic on Edith.”
“Binding magic?!”
Only then did Isabel realize why Edith had gone to such troublesome lengths to bring Sophia down and simultaneously asked her to summon a mage.
“Yeah. So I was trying to find her to undo it. Given the circumstances, it only made sense.”
Elizabeth thought she’d handled the unexpected question rather well, but Isabel couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
‘If Sophia cast the binding magic, how can Elizabeth possibly undo it?’
Everyone in the manor knew Elizabeth and Sophia had the worst relationship of anyone.
Though Isabel wondered how Elizabeth—who wasn’t even a mage—could possibly lift such magic, she decided not to probe further.
‘The people Elizabeth called, claiming they were her hired help… they certainly seem like trained soldiers.’

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
