Chapter 35 Conspiracy
A light snow fell.

The earth is covered with silver and is pure white.

After the operation, Zhou Ming, who was recuperating in bed for another week, finally recovered a lot, and the wounds scabbed over. This morning, he even got out of bed and walked a few steps.

Lying on the bed, watching or cleaning the room, or feeding cattle, sheep and chickens in the backyard, or boiling water and cooking in the kitchen, his sister Alice who is busy all day long, Zhou Ming hesitated. What to tell her?

"Brother, drink some mutton soup. I killed the last lamb in the house in the morning, and the mutton soup will be gone in a few days."

Alice came in with a pottery bowl, with some tears on her face. She is kind-hearted. During the time when her brother was recovering from his injuries, she had already killed several lambs that she usually regarded as treasures. There are a few cute sheep , she even gave them a nice name.

But for the sake of her brother's body, she had to do it herself, and every time she did it, she would be sad for a long time.

He took the pottery bowl, drank two mouthfuls of hot mutton soup, looked at the thin and haggard Alice, her appearance was still so beautiful, but she was no longer innocent, cheerful and lively as before.

The blows one after another made her lose the sweet laughter she once had.

"Alice, my brother asks you, when you grow up, what kind of person do you want to marry?" Putting down the pottery bowl, Zhou Ming asked Alice who was sitting by the bed.

"Marry?"

Alice held her cheeks in her hands and thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about this problem yet, I want to stay by my brother's side all the time!"

"Silly girl, how can you spend your whole life with your brother? You still want to marry after all. Tell me, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Patting Alice on the head, Zhou Ming asked a little funny.

Alice lowered her head and thought for a while, looked up at Zhou Ming, and suddenly said, "I want to marry someone like my brother! Someone who will love me, care about me, and protect me!"

"Fool, are there two people who are exactly the same in this world? Even if you find a brother like him, but he is just a farmer, what's the use? He may die on the battlefield at any time, he may die in famine at any time, and he may meet at any time." All kinds of dangers...A man like this, are you still willing to be with him?"

"I am willing! As long as he cares about me and loves me like you, brother!" Alice nodded with firm eyes.

"Little fool..."

Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled helplessly, but he still asked the question that had been brewing in his heart for a long time: "Alice, if you were given two choices, one is to marry a farmer and live an ordinary life, and the other is to marry a farmer. Marry a baron, become a noble baroness, live comfortably for the rest of your life... If these two choices were in front of you, which one would you choose?"

"Brother, how can you choose like this? Who to marry depends not on whether that person treats me well. If he treats me badly, even if you marry the king, what happiness can there be?"

Remaining the innocence in Alice's heart, she made an answer that made Zhou Ming laugh bitterly.

This younger sister is really spoiled by herself. In this cruel and realistic world, she still hasn't erased the innocence in her heart?
"Alice, if you marry a farmer, the farmer will treat you very well, but with your appearance, maybe it won't be long before someone like Baum will try his best to kill him, and then you may Become the mistress of the noble, or become the maid who waits for the noble, and when you get old, they will kick you away without hesitation, or you will be reduced to a dusty place... When you get old, you will be alone and helpless , you might be begging for alms, like old woman Theresa in town..."

Determined to teach Alice a lesson, Zhou Ming paints a desperate and tragic scene for her.

"Stop it, stop it! Brother, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, these things won't happen, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

Alice cried out in fright, and covered Zhou Ming's mouth tightly, not wanting to hear him continue.

"Dear Alice, do you think my brother is willing to tell you these things? Look at the injuries on my brother's body. My brother doesn't have the ability to protect you anymore. Without my brother's protection, the second Baum, the third Baum, It will come to our house soon, do you think we can stop it?" Zhou Ming said helplessly.

"I'm not getting married anymore, I'm never going to get married for the rest of my life! I want to stay with my brother all the time and go to a place where there are no bad guys!"

Throwing into Zhou Ming's arms, Alice burst into tears.

Looking at this stubborn girl, Zhou Ming felt a pain in his head and regretted it very much. If he knew this, he should have brought her to suffer more when he was young.

"Alice, don't cry! Listen to your brother, trust your brother! In this world, only your brother will not lie to you, only your brother will treat you well, and only your brother will really think about you! Regarding who you will marry in the future, Just let brother arrange it for you, brother will definitely find you a husband who is good to you and capable of protecting you... Do you trust brother?"

Zhou Ming stared into Alice's eyes and asked.

"Ok!"

Alice nodded emphatically.

……

The next morning.

Downey, who was holding a bag of pastries in his hand, saw Zhou Ming who was walking slowly in the room.

"Lian, it's amazing! You were injured so badly, and you stood up in a month. Everyone in the castle thought you were dead."

Downey excitedly stepped forward to support him and said.

"Let them continue to think that way, Donnie, you didn't tell me about my waking up, did you? Including Madame Madeleine." Zhou Ming asked seriously.

After he was injured in the training ground of the castle, even the well-known travel doctor who lived in the castle shook his head and said that he could not survive, and he waved his hands and gave up his treatment.

Only after Downey and Alice, who didn't give up, were carried home, did things get better.

Miracle, can only be said to be a miracle.

"No, I didn't tell anyone, not even my mother."

Downey knew the meaning of Zhou Ming's words, and Zhou Ming had also told him that if he "dead", nothing would happen, but if he "lived", then there would be big troubles.

"Donnie, go and close the doors and windows over there, I have something to tell you." Zhou Ming suddenly said mysteriously.

"What's the matter, so mysterious?"

Downey complained, but still closed the doors and windows according to the words. The originally dark room suddenly became dark.

"Donnie, I have an idea..."

Zhou Ming covered Downey's ear with his hands, and whispered into his ear. After a while, Downey's eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing became short of breath. Hearing the back, even his eyes turned red. He grabbed Zhou Ming's sleeve tremblingly, and the veins on his hand burst out.

And the way he looked at Zhou Ming was like looking at a devil.

"Lian, are you sure you want to do this? Edward is my brother, I...I..." Downey said in a trembling voice.

"You don't need to do anything, what are you afraid of? Think about it, as long as you nod your head, everything in Grandland will belong to you, and you don't need to go all the way to the capital to accept all your unknown fates What? Think about Edward again, how has he treated you as his own brother all these years? I’m afraid he can’t wait to drive you away right away? Think about Fatty Baum, a pig-like thing, in Edward’s heart is more important than you, What else is there to hesitate about..."

Zhou Ming whispered like a devil in his sleep, constantly echoing in Downey's ears.

"Enough is enough! Stop talking, stop talking! I promise, I promise!"

Donnie kept panting heavily, clenched his fists tightly, and the teeth in his mouth were rattling.

Edward, since you are unkind to me, don't blame me for being unrighteous to you!

"Donnie, I support you very much, but there is also a small condition. If you don't agree to this condition, you can just pretend that I didn't say what you said just now. It's best to let it all rot in your stomach."

Seeing Downey nodding, Zhou Ming made another request at the right time.

"What's the request? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!" Downey was in a hurry. In the end, why did Ryan still play this game.

"Marry Alice as your wife, remember, you are marrying her as your wife, not a mistress with no status."

"Marry Alice?"

Downey was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, okay, I like Alice the most, I am willing to marry her, I am willing!"

"I married Alice, don't make a mistake!" Zhou Ming glared at him and emphasized.

"Yes, yes, marry Alice, I am willing to marry her!"

Seeing his wishful-looking look, Zhou Ming knew that his plan was basically perfect. Even though there would be some changes in the future, for now, there would be no mistakes.

After carefully instructing him on the precautions, Zhou Ming sent Downey, who was so excited that he almost fell on the threshold, out the door.

Standing at the door, looking at the beautiful snow scene in the yard, Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, why did you come out? It's cold outside, go back to the house and rest." Alice, who was sweeping the snow, stepped forward and said concernedly after seeing him.

"Alice, what do you think of Master Downey? Do you like him?" Zhou Ming suddenly asked jokingly.

"Brother~! Why are you asking this all of a sudden? I don't like Master Donny..." As she spoke, Alice's voice became softer, and she suddenly blushed.

"Hahaha~"

Zhou Ming laughed heartily, with some drama, a little drama.
