After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

"If Mr. Bai Ma was not indifferent to fame and fortune and unwilling to serve as an official in the court, there would be no Fu Yutang!" Rui Chengyin curled his lips and said with disdain: "He is not even worthy of carrying Mr. Bai Ma's shoes! Even Master Shao, who is known as a genius, is not even one ten-thousandth as good as Mr. Bai Ma!"

In his heart, Mr. Bai Ma is like Zhuge Kongming in the world, the smartest person in the world.

"I think you were led astray by your grandfather! If I had known, I wouldn't have let you study with your grandfather a few years ago!"

So what if you become the top scholar? You will become unconscious and your life will be ruined.

Rui Yuanguang pointed at Rui Chengyin and said, "Mr. Bai Ma hides his face and never dares to show his true face. You can tell he is not a decent person! I would say he is a fugitive! But you and your grandfather are like drugged and you praise him highly. I think you are both crazy!"

It’s not that he is superficial and wants to judge people by appearance, but this Mr. Bai Ma is too suspicious!

Every time he went to the mansion to look for his father, old Earl Ning An, he was always wearing a large cloak and a metal mask, his entire body covered so completely that one couldn't tell whether he was a human or a ghost.

After all these years of friendship with his father, no one except his father has ever seen his true face!

It's so sneaky that it's hard not to be suspicious.

He also hinted to his father about Mr. Bai Ma's attire and expressed his doubts, but he never expected that his father would say, "Do you think Bai Ma likes to dress like this? He is doing this to consider my feelings!"

"What does it feel like?" he asked puzzled.

"Do you know why he is called Bai Ma? Because he is my Prince Charming! That's why he has to wear a cloak and a mask, giving me a noble and mysterious feeling as if he has descended from the sky!" said old Ning Anbo.

Rui Yuanguang: “…”

What a mess.

It also gives off a noble and mysterious feeling, almost like being cheated and deceived!

He had every reason to suspect that his father was so traumatized by his mother's death that he had unknowingly gone insane.

After a moment of silence, Rui Yuanguang turned around and ordered the butler beside him, "Quick, go to the palace and ask a doctor to check my father's brain."

"You are an unfilial son!" Old Ning Anbo jumped up, gave him a slap on the face, and said unhappily: "I'm not crazy! I have known Mr. Bai Ma for many years, he will not lie to me."

"We've known each other for many years, so why have I never heard you talk about this person before?"

"Alas! This is a long story~~"

Old Mr. Ning An sighed quietly and began to talk about his first encounter with Mr. Bai Ma.

It turned out that after his mother passed away, old Mr. Ning An became depressed for a while. He placed all his longing for his first wife on Buddhism. Every once in a while, he would go to the Huguo Temple to pray for his first wife, hoping that she would wait for him a little longer on the Naihe Bridge and continue their love as husband and wife in the next life.

After going there more often, I became familiar with the host, Master Huixin, and we could chat for a few minutes when we met occasionally.

After a few interactions, the two became good friends.

When we have nothing to do, we often sit together to discuss scriptures and philosophy, or play go or something like that.

One day, he was playing chess with Huixin when a young monk suddenly came to report that there was a pilgrim outside who wanted to see Huixin. He said it was a matter of life and death and begged Huixin to see him no matter what.

Huixin was a monk with a compassionate heart. Upon hearing this, he immediately asked the novice monk to bring the person in.

The people who came were Bai Ma and his family.
