Chapter 338: Successive Births

As the warm sun of spring gradually and gently blanketed the entire courtyard, the Cheng Mansion was filled with an unprecedented sense of warmth and anticipation. Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the four maids in the mansion who were as close as sisters—Spring Rain, Summer Lotus, Autumn Moon, and Winter Plum—were all six months pregnant, walking slowly through the mansion with their increasingly rounded bellies, becoming the most moving scenery of the spring.

The gentle and refined Cheng Feng, whenever he had spare time, always loved to personally accompany them, either asking about their physical condition in soft whispers or carefully adjusting their diets; that meticulous care made every maid feel an unprecedented warmth and peace of mind.

On this day, the sun was just right and the breeze was not too dry, so Cheng Feng specially cleared an open space in the mansion, decorated it to be both elegant and comfortable, and invited the several maids who were about to give birth to rest there for a while.

He personally brewed a pot of high-quality Longjing tea, the fragrance of which overflowed and intertwined with the surrounding floral scent to form a hymn of spring.

"Spring Rain, have you been sleeping soundly lately?" Cheng Feng asked with concern, his eyes full of tenderness.

Cuier gently stroked her protruding abdomen, her face glowing with maternal radiance, and laughed: "Many thanks for your concern, Young Master. With your care, naturally everything is well."

Summer Lotus took up the conversation from the side, her tone carrying a bit of playfulness: "That's right, Young Master not only cares about our bodies, but also specially found the most famous midwives and doctors in the city to stay in the mansion, for fear that we might have some mishap."

Hearing this, Cheng Feng smiled slightly, his heart full of tenderness and responsibility: "You are all a part of the mansion, and even more so, indispensable people in my heart. Your happiness and well-being are naturally what I care about most."

Subsequently, the topic gradually turned to the new life that was about to arrive. Qiu Yue lowered her head to gaze at her abdomen, her eyes flashing with longing for the future: "I really hope my little one can be like the Young Master, gentle and refined, and be able to achieve something in the future."

Dongmei joked from the side: "I, on the other hand, hope my child can be more lively, adding some vitality to this mansion."

Listening to their conversation, a warm current surged in Cheng Feng's heart. Although these maids were not from prominent families, their innocence, kindness, and resilience had long since deeply moved him.

Now, as they were about to become mothers, this joy and anticipation also made Cheng Feng more determined to protect this home.

The sun set in the west, and the afterglow spilled over the entire courtyard, plating this warm scene with a layer of golden radiance. Cheng Feng sat side by side with the four maids, enjoying this rare tranquility and harmony.

Cheng Feng was naturally attentive to his wives and Concubines, and he had even taken Jiang Feifei back.

Jiang Feifei also possessed remarkable Medical Skill, and recently Cheng Feng had even let her read the Ghost Doctor Book to broaden her horizons.

Not two days after the short rest, all four of the head maids said they felt something coming on that night.

Hearing the good news from the four head maids simultaneously, Cheng Feng was both surprised and happy, and the entire mansion suddenly became busy and warm.

He immediately ordered the steward to arrange for the best midwives and birth attendants to ensure that every maid could safely and smoothly give birth to new life. At the same time, he also had Cai'er personally supervise the kitchen to prepare nourishing meals and medicinal herbs in case of need.

Upon learning of this, Jiang Feifei even put down the Medical Skill research in her hands and took the initiative to volunteer to help take care of the four maids who were about to give birth.

She used her knowledge of Medical Skill to prepare decoctions for them to stabilize the fetus and calm the spirit, and also carefully instructed them on how to breathe and relax to reduce the pain during childbirth.

Cheng Feng saw this in his eyes, and his gratitude and love for Jiang Feifei grew a little more.

As night fell quietly, the Cheng Mansion suddenly became busy, and a tense yet joyful atmosphere permeated the air.

The four head maids, Spring Rain, Summer Lotus, Autumn Moon, and Winter Plum, as if they had agreed upon it, actually all sent word that they were about to give birth on the same night, making the entire Cheng Mansion instantly boil over.

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Feng immediately put down the matters at hand and rushed to the door of each maid's room with burning anxiety; his face held both tension and anticipation.

These maids were not only capable assistants in the mansion, but also existed as family in his heart. At this moment, the only thing he could do was to do his best to give them the greatest support and comfort.

Cheng Feng stood to the side, watching Jiang Feifei's busy figure, his heart full of stability. With Jiang Feifei there, these maids and the children about to be born would receive the best care.

But when he thought of the Alchemy inherited from the Spirit Square Path, a trace of worry could not help but flash in Cheng Feng's eyes. The profundity and complexity of Alchemy, even from the perspective of his Master-level skills, meant that Jiang Feifei's attainments in this area were still far from enough.

Time passed second by second, and from the rooms of the four head maids came bursts of painful cries and words of encouragement from time to time. Cheng Feng paced anxiously outside the doors, silently praying for everything to be safe.

Finally, as the first crisp cry pierced the night sky, the first child was born smoothly. Immediately after, good news followed one after another, and four little lives arrived in this world one after another, adding endless joy and hope to the Cheng Mansion.

When the first ray of morning light pierced through the clouds and shone upon the Cheng Mansion, the four head maids were exhausted but lay on their beds with happy faces, surrounded by the treasures they had exchanged their lives for—four pink and cute little lives.

Cheng Feng and Jiang Feifei stood to the side, looking at this warm scene, their hearts filled with unprecedented satisfaction and happiness. They knew that this was not just the birth of new life, but the beginning of the Cheng Mansion's future hope.

Cheng Feng personally named these four children, implying that they would be able to grow up healthy and be outstanding in talent in the future. He also announced that he would give these children the same treatment and education as legitimate children, allowing them all to thrive in the big family of the Cheng Mansion.

And Jiang Feifei became the "Divine Doctor Mother" in the hearts of these children; she not only used Medical Skill to guard their health, but also warmed their hearts with maternal love.

The four maids each gave birth to a girl, and Cheng Feng treated them as his own and gave these daughters names: Cheng Yu, Cheng He, Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yun.

Cheng Feng did not hold particularly high expectations or wishes for them, only hoping that they could grow up safely and practice Martial Dao more to protect themselves.

Cheng Feng did not force his children to repay him, but he believed that they must possess the ability to protect themselves.

In this turbulent world, without sufficient force, it is like a little lamb wandering in a pack of wolves, which will sooner or later be devoured without mercy.

Cheng Feng absolutely did not want to see such a result, especially for these weak females.

In that era, women were naturally in a weak position and easily subjected to harm and bullying. Cheng Feng hoped even more that they could enhance their self-protection abilities by learning martial arts to avoid becoming someone else's prey.

Only by possessing a certain level of strength could one gain a foothold in this chaotic society and protect oneself well. Therefore, although Cheng Feng's requirements for his daughters were not high, he still hoped that they could work hard to exercise and master some self-defense skills.
