Many children, when young, don't realize that while they are sound asleep, their parents are losing sleep over their education.
Truly, the depth of a parent's heart is unfathomable.
Take Zheng Fan at this moment, for example.
Perhaps due to the beating he took during the day, after Siniang's massage, Zheng Fan slept exceptionally soundly.
When he woke up, the sky was already bright.
He pushed open his room door to find two maids waiting on the steps below.
Seeing Zheng Fan was up, one went to the kitchen to fetch breakfast, while the other brought warm water for his ablutions.
Zheng Fan inwardly rejected this decadent lifestyle.
But sometimes, not needing them was tantamount to denying their reason for being. After all, they were servants, and most of their hometowns were in the Yan State mainland, or even further afield in the Qian or Jin States.
So, to allow them to live here in peace, Zheng Fan could only silently "endure" their services. Alas.
