Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 55
Edith’s expression was growing increasingly cold, but Philip didn’t care in the slightest.
He was solely interested in how much the Countesses Portrion had inherited following the Viscount’s death.
“So, how much did you get from the inheritance?”
“…….”
“Your dear uncle’s right, isn’t he? A woman just needs to marry well to land a fortune— urk!”
With a loud crash, Philip toppled backward. Edith, unable to bear another word of his reckless rambling, had shoved him with all her strength.
Not stopping there, she picked up the water-filled glass and flung its contents at him as though wielding a whip. Yet even this failed to ease the fury building inside her.
“You clearly have absolutely no conscience if you still can’t keep your mouth shut.”
Her shoulders trembled violently. The thought that her precious life had been ruined by such a despicable man made her eyes burn with disbelief.
“Leave. Right now.”
When Edith pointed toward the door, Philip slowly rose from the floor where he’d been sprawled and bellowed.
“There’s such a thing as being ungrateful! I married you off into wealth, and now you shove your own uncle because you don’t want to share the inheritance?”
Philip couldn’t accept that he’d been bested by none other than Edith—the very person he’d always considered beneath him.
In a surge of what might have been drunkenness or rage, his hand instinctively closed around an empty glass bottle that had held liquor moments before.
“Seems you’ve already forgotten your place now that people call you ‘Madam.’ I’ll teach you some manners again today.”

This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
