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 just like how a poisonous 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.
