The Old Madam was crafty. Only by fainting did she escape being chased and slashed.
Jian Ruonan had never intended to slash the Old Madam with the Imperial Sword anyway. Such a precious treasure must not be contaminated with athlete's foot.
Giving the Old Madam a scare so she would stop scheming against her family was enough.
As for this godson, Jian Ruonan was determined to cut him down.
Through the gossip, she had learned that ever since Shu Zijing took Pu Jingyi as his godfather, he had ruined no small number of respectable women.
Two months ago, he had taken a fancy to a flower girl by the roadside and forcibly abducted her to his residence. When her family came looking for her, they were beaten savagely.
Last month, he had forcibly abducted a tea seller. Not only had he refused to pay for his tea, he had even injured her grandfather, her only remaining family. He was utterly vile.
The common people of the Capital City both feared and hated him.
Jian Ruonan seized this opportunity to deal with the scumbag.
Although Pu Jingyi, director of the Eastern Depot, held immense power, Jian Ruonan was not afraid in the slightest. There was a juicy scandal behind Shu Zijing's status as his godson, and sooner or later, that status would be gone.
Holding the Imperial Sword, she experienced the bold exhilaration of a wandering hero. It was even more thrilling than playing cosplay at the Eldest Princess's place.
The only drawback was that Jian Ruonan's body was just ten years old. She was also lazy and seldom exercised, so after only a few swings, she was panting with exhaustion.
In the end, Jian Ruonan only chopped off one of Shu Zijing's fingers, turning him into Shu Nine-Finger.
