Ever since he learned in October that the young master had reported to the court and the Prince of Yizhou had rebelled, he was able to let go of half of his worries.
Later, when he heard that the Prince of Yizhou died on the battlefield and the old case from thirteen years ago was completely brought to light, he was relieved of the rest of his worries.
After that, he lost the will to live, and he was holding on only to see the Old Madam and his elder brother, just to confirm that this matter was truly settled.
He became increasingly drowsy, thinking he wouldn't survive until the New Year, but he also thought dying during the festival would be too inauspicious.
Although he was just a servant, dying in the mansion would be very unlucky, so he held on.
Yesterday, when his elder brother told him that the young master and Miss Man were engaged, he felt light as a feather and knew his time had come.
