Abstract Ultralong-range Cs$_2$ Rydberg-ground molecules ($nD_{5/2} + 6S_{1/2}F$) ($33 \leq n \leq 39$, $F=3$ or 4) are investigated by a two-photon photo-association spectroscopy of an ultracold Cs gas. Two vibrational ground molecular spectra of triplet $^{3}\!\varSigma$ and hyperfine mixed singlet-triplet $^{1,3}\!\varSigma$ molecular states and their corresponding binding energies are attained. The experimental observations are simulated by an effective Hamiltonian including low energy electron scattering pseudopotentials, the spin-orbit interaction of the Rydberg atom, and the hyperfine interaction of the ground-state atom. The zero-energy singlet and triplet s-wave scattering lengths are extracted by comparing the experimental observations and calculations. Dependences of the measured binding energies on the effective principal quantum number, $n_{\rm eff} = n - \delta_D$ ($\delta_D$ is the quantum defect of Rydberg $D$ state), yield the scaling of $n_{\rm eff}^{-5.60 \pm 0.16}(^{3}\!\varSigma,F=3)$, $n_{\rm eff}^{-5.62 \pm 0.16}(^{3}\!\varSigma,F=4)$ for deep triplet potential and $n_{\rm eff}^{-5.65 \pm 0.38}(^{1,3}\!\varSigma, F=3)$, $n_{\rm eff}^{-6.19 \pm 0.14}(^{1,3}\!\varSigma,F=4)$ for shallow mixed singlet-triplet potential well. The simulations of low-energy Rydberg electron scattering show agreement well with the experimental measurements.
