At the most critical moment, I heard an angry voice rebuke me. At the same time, a force hit my cousin and aunt, causing them to immediately bounce away from me.
I snapped out of my daze and quickly dodged to the side. At that moment, a woman wearing a black dress had already walked to my side.
Grasping my hand tightly, her tone was filled with concern.
"Lingyue, are you alright?"
I subconsciously stepped back and withdrew my hand from that woman's palm.
Thinking about what she just said, I looked at her doubtfully. In my heart, I had some guesses but I didn't dare to say them out loud.
Looking at her face, which was identical to the one in the photo, I was almost certain that this person was the mother who had died in childbirth when I was born.
But why was she here?
Could it be that the person Qin Yize was talking about just now was her?
That woman was a little agitated when she saw me. She didn't mind me taking my hand back and gave me a friendly smile. It seemed that she didn't intend to introduce her identity.
"Mom, are you my mom?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and nodded at me.
"Li Xinlan, you actually came as well. Don't think that just because Huang Lingyue is your daughter you can take her for yourself."
It was my cousin who said this, and she looked at my mother, her voice full of anger.
Her words made me, who was immersed in the joy of meeting my mother, shudder. He shook his head.
He subconsciously raised his head to look at her with eyes filled with fear.
I had never seen my mother since I was a child, and everything I knew about her came from my grandmother's mouth and from photographs.
For a moment I didn't know what to do.
"Come, Lingyue, don't be afraid, your mother will not hurt you. Come to your mother's side!"
Mom's tone was very gentle, and she had a kind expression on her face. Mom's voice was just like what I had heard in my dreams when I was young. At this moment, I couldn't help but shed tears, not wanting to care about anything else.
She threw herself into her mother's embrace and started crying.
I really miss my mother, my mother's embrace is very comfortable, my mother's smell is just as I imagined, inexplicably, I just believe that my mother will not harm me.
Especially when she saved me from my cousin's mouth, a sense of happiness quickly filled my heart.
Mom hugged me and patted my back.
I just saw people being cared for like that.
I didn't expect to feel my mother's love one day.
"Alright, Li Xinlan, hurry up and f * ck off to the side. Don't interfere with my business, or else I won't even let you off!"
After she finished speaking, she and her cousin attacked my mother at the same time.
I instantly widened my eyes and didn't know what to do. Just when I was about to block in front of my mother, the surrounding air suddenly changed and two people appeared. No, to be more accurate, it should be a ghost.
I've seen it, more than once.
Beside Qin Yize, one was dressed in red, holding a brush and the other in white, holding a sword.
When they saw me, they nodded slightly.
When my mother saw them, she knelt down respectfully.
"Greetings, judges!"
The two charming men nodded to my mother and helped her up. Then, they said to me, "Young Empress, you should take your mother and go to the side to talk. Leave the things here to us!"
I nodded my head. I had seen their abilities before, so naturally, I had nothing to say to them.
She pulled her mother to one side and the two of them began to chat.
Actually, I'm basically the one who's talking. My mom is listening.
However, it was good to have a mother!
After asking her mother, I found out that she was specifically sent back by a certain Yama to help me. As for which one, she didn't know.
Furthermore, the two judges, one red and one black, were from the Infernal Realm.
The one dressed in red was called Chi Yan, and the one dressed in white was called Bai Yi.
Mother asked me why they called me Young Empress. Actually, I don't know about this, so I told her about me and Qin Yize. After listening to it, Mother became silent.
"What's the matter, Mom?"
"I'm fine. I know roughly who let me back!"
When my mother spoke, her tone was a little serious, but also a little gratified. Anyway, it gave me an indescribable feeling.
Hearing that my mother knew Qin Yize's identity, I started to become curious as to what kind of demon this Qin Yize was. Maybe, he wasn't a ghost …
"King Qinguang, the leader of the Ten Yama Kings, it is your fortune that you can marry him. Sigh, everything is fate, your mother shouldn't have given birth to you on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. "It was precisely because I couldn't stop worrying that I wasn't willing to be reincarnated. If it wasn't for King Qinguang's benevolence, I'm afraid I would still be wandering by the river bank …"
After listening to my mother's story, I realized that even though my mother had already died, she had still given up so much for me.
I heard Danshen say that after everyone dies, there aren't many who can continue to reincarnate, and even fewer who can continue to live. Mom clearly had the chance, but she gave up because she couldn't stop worrying about me.
It moved me, but at the same time I felt ashamed of my mother.
"Mom, how about I tell Qin Yize to let you reincarnate? Mom, look at me, I'm living a good life now, so don't worry about me …"
Mom smiled and rubbed my head, "Silly child, your surroundings are in danger, and because of your marriage with the Ghost King, your entire body is filled with Yin Qi. Your system has already provoked ghosts and ghosts, how can Mommy not worry now that you're like this?"
I was suddenly at a loss for words. Initially, I only wanted to comfort my mother, but I didn't expect her to understand all of this.
"Young Empress, those two female ghosts have already been subdued by us. You can go back peacefully."
I stood up, nodded, and apologized. "Thank you."
"Young Empress is too polite, if there is nothing else, we will return to report!"
"Alright!"
After telling them that, they didn't leave, but continued to stand there, as if waiting for something, until I realized that their eyes were on my mother.
Were they going to take her away?
Mom looked at me, wanting to say something but not wanting to.
"Lingyue, you shouldn't have come here, you shouldn't have come here. All sorts of reasons and consequences are retribution, and they should also be repaid. You can't change anything, listen to mother, go back to school!"
"No, mother, my grandmother is still here. I can't leave her, I don't want to change anything, I just don't want to lose the only family I have in this world. Mom, don't worry about me, just go back with them. If I accidentally die, I can reunite with you, wouldn't that be even better? "
In my opinion, the worst possible outcome would be this.
"Foolish child, you are too naive. It's not as simple as you think. Mom is going to leave and there's nothing for you to give. I will use all of my mana to help you open your Heaven's Eyes! "
After Mom said this, before I could reject her offer, I felt a scorching sensation between my eyebrows. Following which, a trace of clarity appears in my eyes.
When I came back to myself, my mother and the two judges were gone.
Mom's voice came from the air.
"Life and death are determined by fate, do not be stubborn, Lingyue, do your best …"
