Ding Weichun said unhappily, "You are not just dumb, you are just pretending to be ignorant. Don't worry, since Lord Wang Dong has such qualities, it is most appropriate for the Baron's direct blood relatives to inherit the title. You should worry about other people in the Baron's mansion."
Chen Shayi said nothing.
Ding Weichun did not take it too seriously, and turned to Wang Dong and said seriously, "Lord Wang Dong, your hard work and struggle will not be in vain. And when your identity is recognized, it is time to work harder and struggle more!"
Wang Dong said solemnly, "I would like to hear more about it."
Ding Weichun nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with Wang Dong's seriousness.
"Baron Wang Lei fell seriously ill two years ago, and after many medical treatments, he did not get better."
Wang Dong's eyes moved slightly.
Even in the interstellar age, there are still many incurable diseases.
When humans walked out of the planet and stepped into space, the environment and unfamiliar substances they came into contact with all showed an exponential explosion trend.
Therefore, many new difficult and complicated diseases have also emerged.
Even a high-ranking noble like the Earl of Tianfang would be unable to manage affairs due to serious illness. It is a pity that Baron Blackstone suffered from a terminal illness at such a young age.
"Unfortunately, since the Baron and the Baroness only have two daughters and no sons, the Baron of Blackstone currently has no legal heir."
Ding Weichun said sadly.
Wang Dong's face was solemn.
For now.
The so-called Baron Wang Lei was actually just a stranger to Wang Dong.
Before today, apart from the blood relationship, there was no other connection between the two.
So Wang Dong did not deliberately put on any grief and sadness, it was too fake and not realistic enough.
The two daughters born by the Baroness were not legal heirs. This was because the noble law of the Bauhinia Kingdom clearly stipulated that women could not be the legal heirs of noble titles.
Therefore, in the Bauhinia Kingdom, there were no golden thighs such as female marquises and female countesses that could save people hundreds of years of struggle.
"In view of this, since the beginning of this year, there have been some different opinions in the Blackstone Barony due to the vacant heir.
The Baroness hopes to adopt a son from her mother's family to inherit the barony.
The Baron's own family is located in the capital system, and they also intend to select outstanding people from among his many sons and nephews for the Baron to choose from.
In addition, the Baron has an illegitimate son who is only ten years old, your half-brother, who is also taken into consideration."
Ding Weichun looked at Wang Dong meaningfully and said, "If you don't lose your original intention, then you still need more struggle and effort."
Wang Dong was silent for a while, as if he was digesting the information that Ding Weichun had just provided.
Then, he slowly said: "This is a big whirlpool. Once you step into it, you will always be under the threat of catastrophic disaster."
Chen Shayi laughed and said in a comforting manner: "If Your Excellency Wang Dong has no intention of doing this, you may consider expressing your attitude."
Wang Dong shook his head resolutely, without any sign of dejection on his face, and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency, please don't test me again. In this kind of matter, there is no room for retreat When my identity was revealed, I was actually forced into the situation And the only way for a chess piece on the chessboard to give up and withdraw is to be eaten by the opponent! Rather than being easily eliminated by the opponent as garbage, I might as well strive to be the best and really go all out. At least, I can still control the only initiative in my own destiny! "
"Well said!"
Chen Shayi showed admiration.
Such awareness, such wisdom, and such courage to face difficulties are the qualities that the heir of the Black Stone Barony should have.
Having said that, Chen Shayi had to admire that the saying that a tiger father will not have a dog son is fully reflected in Baron Wang Lei.
Whether it is Wang Dong or another illegitimate son who is still young but already has a rising star, the two direct bloodlines of Baron Wang Lei are indeed not mediocre.
Ding Weichun also clapped his hands lightly, indicating his praise: "Your Excellency Wang Dong is extraordinary in talent and vision, and his vision is far beyond his peers. He is worthy of the blood of a baron, and is incomparable to ordinary people. You are right. When your background was recognized by the Barony, you were already sitting at the gambling table of the heir battle. If you want to withdraw, you can only hope for the kindness and mercy of your competitors. And these are precisely rare and precious virtues. With your character, you really don't seem like someone who will give up the initiative. So, are you ready and know what to do next? "
Wang Dong said solemnly: "Because of my background, I currently know nothing about the internal situation of the Barony, and I don't have any support from any force. Except for the bloodline identity that has just been recognized, I can be said to be penniless. But today, the two of you can reveal so much information to me, which is not something that ordinary administrative officials would do. It can be seen that your position is naturally self-evident. What should be done next and how to do it, please make it clear. I will definitely keep in mind the help you give me. "
After saying this, Wang Dong stood up and saluted the two men solemnly.
Ding Weichun and Chen Shayi also stood up to return the salute.
After the salute, Ding Weichun first said with a smile: "Mr. Wang Dong grew up on the Mine Star, and I, Old Ding, have also been on the Mine Star for twenty years. The Mine Star is my second home. From this perspective, Mr. Wang Dong and I can be considered fellow villagers. Moreover, my daughter Ding Lang is a classmate of Mr. Wang Dong. With this kind of fate, I, Old Ding, naturally hope that Mr. Wang Dong can spread his wings and fly. "
Wang Dong also smiled and responded: "The Mine Star is where I grew up. I also hope that the Mine Star can get better and better, and the people on the Mine Star can live better and better. In this regard, I am no different from Chief Ding. "
Chen Shayi on the other side had a complicated expression.
Seeing that Wang Dong and Ding Weichun were both looking at him, Chen Shayi hesitated for a moment before speaking: "I have received great favors from Baron Wang Lei and have followed and served him for nearly 30 years. Naturally, I hope that the baron's direct bloodline will take over the baron's territory. I can deeply feel the enterprising spirit, wisdom and courage of Lord Wang Dong. You have the potential to become an excellent heir. But forgive me for being frank, another direct descendant of the Baron, Lord Wang Jujun, possesses extraordinary abilities. Although he is still young, he has already made his mark. In addition, the Zhong family, where Lord Wang Jujun's mother was born, also has a certain influence in the baron's territory. Lord Wang Dong does not have any advantage in his current situation."
Wang Dong didn't care about Chen Shayi's hesitation at all.
He still smiled and said, "I can see Lord Shayi's intentions from what you just said. Although I don't know what the so-called extraordinary ability means. But at least in your mind, you think I am more suitable for the position of heir than a ten-year-old child. "
Chen Shayi blushed when his thoughts were revealed.
But he couldn't help but be surprised by Wang Dong's sharpness again with Ding Weichun beside him.
