The Saintess was highly skilled in martial arts. Even without the puppets of the Holy Maiden Temple, it would be difficult to scheme against her.
The reason why Cheng Sang could succeed was that the Holy Maiden was careless.
Cheng Sang had been crazy for more than 30 years. Although she had always caused her courtyard to be in a mess, she had never shown any hostility to anyone.
She would only hurt herself.
Most of the servants could not catch her, hold her down, or find her. No one had been beaten by her.
Therefore, it was impossible for the Saintess to guard against her.
It was iust like how a D0isonous snake would never guard against a rabbit.
The Saintess did not expect Cheng Sang to suddenly attack her. By the time she reacted, she was already in the water.
She had a drowning incident when she was four years old and almost lost her life. Ever since then, she never went near the lake or pond.
As she grew up, she was not so afraid of deep water anymore, but she still did not know how to swim.
Her internal energy was useless underwater. On the contrary, because she did not control it well, she sank even faster when she circulated her energy.
After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, she finally grabbed a bag of waterweed by the shore and used it to float her head out of the water. However, before she could catch her breath, Cheng Sang stepped on her!
The Saintess was speechless.
The resistance of the water was too great, and people would slow down underwater, but Cheng Sang was as agile as a rabbit on the shore. Every time the Saintess appeared, she would mercilessly step on her.
She stepped on the Saintess again.
If she came out from another place, she would come out from another place.
She only stopped when Xie Yunhe and Cheng Lian rushed over.
She smacked her lips and turned around, looking innocently at the two people who had rushed over.
She stood upright and was especially well -behaved.
However, she secretly raised one foot and kicked back again!
Cheng Lian was speechless.
And so was Xie Yunhe.
Cheng Lian hurriedly got someone to go into the water to get the Saintess up.
The weather in the southern border was unpredictable. The night before, it was still wet and hot, but this morning, a cold wind had been blowing.
The temperature underwater was cold. The Saintess’s teeth were chattering when she was scooped up.
Cheng Lian hurriedly took off her cloak and wrapped it around her. She knelt on the ground and hugged her daughter.
“Sister! ”
She looked at Cheng Sang angrily. “Why did you treat Qingyao like this? What did Qingyao do wrong? If you’re upset, come at me! What’s the point of venting your anger on Qingyao?”
Su Xiaoxiao came over.
She stood in front of Cheng Sang and said indifferently to Cheng Lian, “She lost her footing and fell into the water. What does it have to do with the family head?”
“Oh.” Cheng Sang widened her eyes and learned a new line in a second. “That’s right! She fell into the water herself! I didn’t do anything!”
Cheng Lian muttered in disbelief, ” Do you think we’re blind?”
Su Xiaoxiao brushed the fallen leaves off Cheng Sang’s shoulder. “Cheng Qingyao is an expert. The head of the family is weak. How can she easily scheme against Cheng Qingyao? Who knows if this is her ruse?”
“That’s right!” Cheng Sang raised her chin domineeringly and pulled Su Xiaoxiao’s hand. “Let’s go!”
The old and young left without looking back.
Cheng Lian gritted her teeth at her valiant aura!
What pained Cheng Lian the most was that Xie Yunhe did not say a word throughout the entire process.
Even if he had only questioned Cheng Sang, she would not be so heartbroken.
Cheng Lian brought the Saintess back to the courtyard.
After soaking in hot water and washing up for two to four hours, she finally recovered.
What was worse was that Cheng Sang had stepped on her head too many times causing her forehead to be swollen.
Cheng Lian’s heart ached.
The servant brought the ginger soup over.
Cheng Lian stirred it with a spoon and tasted it. When it was no longer hot, she fed it to her.
The Saintess had no appetite. “I don’t want to drink it.”
“Alright, you can drink it later.”
