Genius Demon Empress - Chapter 14

Chapter 14: First Meeting with Family

Translated by Luxican

After entering the estate, she passed a large number of stylish houses and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the residence where their little family of three lived, it was located at northernmost Ming Xiang Courtyard of the Lie Estate.

It was located at the most remote place, and there was barely any sunlight all year round.

A simple courtyard door, a few small intestine-sized paths, this was the approximate structure of Ming Xiang Courtyard.

The grass and trees in the courtyard had steadily declined, and only a few lean bamboos barely held on in the courtyard of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, weeping alone, sat Lie Rou but when she heard her daughter had appeared at the main entrance, the sorrow in her turned into happiness, and she hurriedly got up to meet her daughter.

Hua'er! After entering the courtyard, Yue Jing Hua heard the eager call. On the narrow path, a beautiful woman greeted her, and cried while hugging her.

Mother, your daughter is back, Yue Xiao Qi, who was an orphan in her previous life, felt this parental love for the first time in her life, she hesitated for a short moment before hugging the woman back, and gently comforting the woman.

Let Mother take a good look, my poor child, you must have suffered these couple of weeks, let Mother have a good look if you have any wounds. Lie Rou looked at her daughter who had been out for more than a month.

Her eyes were red. After seeing Yue Jing Hua's expression, she was slightly startled: My child, you don't seem to be hurt, and your appearance is also good.

Lie Rou hadn't seen her daughter in a long time, and now there seemed to be a slight change in Yue Jing Hua. She could feel a little more confidence in her eyebrows. She still had a slim figure. And the ugly scar on the right half of her face didn't seem as dazzling anymore. What's more, Hua'er's face had lost its former cowardice and timidity.

This change is good, these words were almost blurted out by Lie Rou.

Yue Jing Hua was also looking at Lie Rou. People in ancient times got married rather early. And although Lie Rou had been a mother and wife for more than ten years, she was only in her thirties.

After seeing the woman's appearance, Yue Jing Hua secretly praised her.

Lie Rou was born with beautiful eyebrows and a white magnolia was tucked into her hair, which made her even more beautiful and elegant. The only flaw were her weary eyes and gloomy gaze.

It's good you're back, you no longer need to join the academy, this Mother only begs you to live a safe life, with no disasters or troubles, Lie Rou whispered with tears in her eyes, while she kept her hands on the side of Yue Jing Hua's face, gently rubbing it with her fingers.

This was heard by Yue Jing Hua, but she felt a bit sour.

Perhaps it was influenced by the blood relationship of the former Yue Jing Hua, she felt good after experiencing this tenderness.

This poor woman, who had lost her father and mother for a long time, and went through the bankruptcy of her husband's family, was now extremely cautious.

Hua'er, that Lie Meng's letter that day said, you were taken by someone. Who saved you? How did you come back? Or did you come back with Lie Meng? Lie Rou expressed her worries.

A few days ago, Lie Meng had sent a letter saying he would return in a few days. The letter mentioned that he had hunted two second-ranked profound beasts, but didn't mention rescuing Yue Jing Hua.
