Chapter 610 Modesty

At the center of the courtyard, there stood a pavilion, and inside the pavilion was a woman.

The woman, roughly in her thirties, was dressed simply, with a sapphire-encrusted pearl hairpin on her head. Her cheeks were thin, her eyes sunken, giving her a somewhat sickly appearance. Yet, it could not mask the noble air that emanated from her.

"Ling, come and pay respects to your mother-in-law!" Liu Zheng hurriedly tugged on Liu Ling's sleeve, gesturing for her to greet his mother.

Liu Ling gave a slight nod before kneeling on the ground and kowtowing three times.

"Mother! Your child has returned!"

"Ling, get up," said Madam Liu, smiling gently.

Liu Ling stood up and then stepped back behind Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng, watching Liu Ling's gestures, couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Ling'er has really grown more beautiful, becoming more feminine as the days pass!

Madam Liu's gaze was sizing up Liu Ling.
