"This baby is so beautiful!" exclaimed a midwife from the Lu family.
Bai Sheng tried to compose herself and glanced at the first baby. It was red, wrinkled, and calling it beautiful was… difficult to admit. However, as long as it was hers, even if its nose pointed to the sky, she would find it beautiful.
Granny Wu smiled as she took the baby, "I'll bathe the little girl. You all continue," there were still three more!
Outside the door, hearing the baby's loud cries, Lu Ye could no longer hold back. He buried his face in his sleeve and sobbed.
Seeing this, everyone else was deeply moved.
The women felt that their master was a rare and good man. If their own husbands cried like this when they gave birth, their lives would be worth it.
Prince Yu cursed Lu Ye as a "coward" again, then pulled over A Qiu's unkicked Cuju sleeve to wipe his sweat-stained face. The key was that his tears couldn't be seen, otherwise, as the dignified Prince Yu, where would his reputation be?
A Qiu, whose clothes had just been changed that morning, now served as his master's face-wiping cloth. Seeing his master's red eyes, he also weakly whispered a word in his heart: Coward~.
Du Min, Liu Shi, Yang Shi, and several other women smiled and wiped their eyes. All three were pregnant and could deeply understand the feelings of Madam Da.
Lu Yun and his younger brothers jumped and cheered.
"From now on, I will teach my nephews martial arts! Make them all peerless masters!" Lu Yun patted his chest with great pride. His nephews, he would spoil them!
"I'll save all the good food for them!" Lu Yu was not to be outdone. They were also his nephews, his dears.
Tian Dou clenched his small fists and said with determination, "I will teach them to ride horses!" The boss's nephews were his nephews.
Tie Zhu scratched his head, thought for a moment, "Then… then I'll teach them archery!"
Tian Ya's eyes sparkled and said, "I will always protect them from any harm from now on."
Inside the room, Bai Sheng continued to give birth.
After the firstborn arrived, the second one came out in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
"Oh my, the second one is a boy!" shouted a midwife from the Lu family.
Hearing this, Bai Sheng laughed through her tears. It was wonderful, to have both sons and daughters. She remembered in her previous life, after Grandma Bai passed away, she was all alone, without any family, and died alone in the hospital.
Now, she had a large group of people who truly loved her, and she had given birth to four of her most cherished blood.
She was someone who was cherished and loved.
She had no regrets about being transmigrated by heaven to this barren desert.
Another cup of tea passed, and the midwife from Prince Yu's side exclaimed, "The third one is also a little gentleman! So handsome!"
Granny Wu was so busy taking babies that she was "overwhelmed." The other midwives were also busy bathing, wiping, and dressing the babies…
It was heard that these clothes were personally made by the babies' mother to express her love. The fabric was indeed of excellent quality.
However, they didn't quite look like clothes. A midwife fumbled with them, finally identifying the sleeves and legs. Alright, the top had sleeves, the bottom had legs, so… they were clothes, sort of.
Bai Sheng: Sorry, that was my limit. Originally, I could only sew a straight tube and put the baby in.
A third cup of tea passed.
The midwife from the Lu family pulled out the last, smallest bundle of flesh. After a glance, she immediately laughed and shouted, "Ah! The fourth one is also a boy!"
The midwife from Prince Yu's side clicked her tongue in admiration, "Wonderful! One young lady and three young masters. These parents will have blessings in the future!"
The midwives on both sides nodded and agreed with smiles, temporarily blurring the lines between allies and enemies.
Bai Sheng had exhausted all her strength. After the last baby was born, she drifted into a daze and fell asleep.
The two midwives brought by Prince Yu were cleaning her body. Granny Wu took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to one of them, "Please help me apply this medicine to my apprentice later."
"What is this medicine?" the midwife asked.
Granny Wu glanced at the others in the room. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she leaned in and whispered a few words to the midwife.
The midwife's old face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "It should be applied. The young couple is so young, and… that matter is important."
Granny Wu smiled and nodded, proudly saying, "Indeed, this medicine has a constricting function. As long as it is used consistently during the confinement period, you will be even better than before… better… ah, you understand. Later, when my apprentice wakes up, remember to tell her that she must apply it every day during her confinement."
The midwife's old face turned even redder, "Yes, alright."
She looked at Granny Wu, opened her mouth, then closed it, then opened it again. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled Granny Wu aside. Finally, she spoke, "Old sister, forgive my presumptuousness, but do you… have any more of this medicine?"
"Yes? Do you want it for your daughter or daughter-in-law? But it's quite expensive, 30 taels of silver per bottle." Granny Wu developed this medicine intending to go into business with her apprentice and sell it to women from wealthy families.
"No, it's for… for myself," the midwife was willing to forgo her dignity for this medicine.
"For… yourself?" Granny Wu's eyes widened in surprise. A moment later, she suddenly realized and praised repeatedly, "Oh my, oh my, old sister, you are truly something! You are still living that life!"
The midwife, her face wrinkled, tucked her drooping gray hair behind her ears and said shyly, "Alas, you make fun of me, old sister. It's just that… my husband and I have a good relationship, and that matter still… hasn't diminished since those years. It's just that with age, I'm not… not… ah, you understand."
Granny Wu chuckled, "I understand, I understand. Oh my goodness, this is truly eye-opening."
"Ah~ yah, you are truly—" The midwife, blushing, raised her no-longer-pink fist and lightly hit Granny Wu's shoulder.
Granny Wu leaned closer and smiled meaningfully, "Since it's for old sister's own use, I'll give you this medicine for free today. If you feel good using it, help me promote it among the old sisters in the future!"
"Oh, this… this is too kind of you?" The midwife felt it was too precious and was a bit embarrassed to accept.
Granny Wu directly stuffed the medicine bottle into her hand, "Consider it thanks for helping my apprentice with the delivery today." And she discovered a customer base among the middle-aged and elderly. Hmm. Later, she would need to develop some medicine for men, to match both sides.
"Then… then thank you so much, old sister," the midwife's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum.
"You're welcome," Granny Wu chuckled, having struck gold. This medicine would surely make a fortune in the future.
Bai Sheng was cleaned up. Granny Wu carefully checked her pulse and, finding nothing amiss, got up to look at the four little cubs.
In the crib, four red, fleshy bundles were crying their hearts out.
The people outside the room, hearing the continuous loud crying, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother and child are safe, how wonderful!
