"Lady Chen, it is a healthy baby boy. Sect leader Chen will be overjoyed by the news!"
"Bring the baby to me, so that I can see his face."
The voice of the new mother sounded hoarse from screaming in agony while pushing the baby through her phoenix nest.
The attending maid in red and white robes of the WuYangChen sect held the red faced bald newborn in a bundle of white linen for Lady Chen Liling to hold in her arms. The cries of a newborn could be heard throughout the courtyard. Lady Chen was in a plain white birthing robe, sweat poured profusely from her brows which made her hair stick to the side of her face. The eyes that looked up at the maid was red from crying in pain during the delivery of the baby that was in her womb. The blood soaked robes stained the bed that she laid on, while blood sipped from her thorn phoenix nest.
"Nehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
The proud mother of the baby looked with tears simmering in her eyes at the next leader of the sect, many years had passed and no sign of life from countless visits to her husband's chambers, until almost a year ago did Lady Chen notice changes to her body, which was confirmed by a visiting physician, none other than Physician Shen whom they had to seek out, despite their sect's Physician Wu who told the sect leader and his wife that Lady Chen was with child.
"He looks just like his father."
The voice of Lady Chen held one of awe at how much the newborn to her eyes looked like her husband.
"Lady Chen, do you have a name for the young master?"
"Not yet, but when Chen Yueming comes we will both decide on what to name our son."
"We mean no offense Lady Chen, but I think the baby needs to be seen by his wet nurse."
The maid had her head lowered while she spoke to the wife of their sect leader, one wrong move and she could pay with her life, regardless of whether or not it was a joyful occasion.
"See to it that he has the best wet nurse. I'm sore and cannot get up for now."
"Yes Lady Chen, the young master will have the very best attending to his needs."
"Get Nanny Ehuang here! Isn't she back yet from where I sent her?"
"Nanny Ehuang may be in the kitchen making your food, I will check to see if she is back."
Nanny Ehuang and maid Huian were both servants under the WuYangChen sect, who took up the last name of "Yang" in accordance to the slave contract that Lady Chen Liling had, this made them the fully property of the sect with absolute loyalty. In short, every servant had the old family name "Yang" and those that did not hold their sect leader and his wife in high regard were not sold off, but beaten to death as punishment, their body left in the wild to be eaten up by animals.
