What do you mean “since you know”? Has he found out my biggest secret about him?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Could this be our last time together?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao stared anxiously at Zhao Yu, now seated at the edge of the bed, as if the next moment he would rise, leave, and never return to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, Ma Xiao Jiao knew well that Zhao Yu had forgiven Yuan Qing Cheng, so he should forgive her too; she knew she had helped him spark the Industrial Revolution, borne him six children, and done countless things for him—emotionally and rationally, he could never abandon her or their children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, because she feared losing Zhao Yu and her current life so deeply, Ma Xiao Jiao dared not gamble, refused to gamble—even though her odds of winning were at least 99.999 percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All because Ma Xiao Jiao saw only the 0.001 percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, at this critical moment, Ma Xiao Jiao clung tightly to Zhao Yu from behind, blurting out her confession in hopes of leniency: “It wasn’t me who hit you with the car—it was Lin Jie driving! I was just sitting in her car! It’s not my fault—I’m a victim too! You can’t blame me! I didn’t intentionally eavesdrop on you and Qing Cheng—I just happened to be there…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘?????????’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu stared in shock—‘What did I say that triggered such a reaction?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment’s reflection, considering Ma Xiao Jiao’s petite, emotional nature, Zhao Yu guessed her mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu turned around and pulled Ma Xiao Jiao into his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say, “You really know you’re wrong,” to scare her a little and tease her—but he feared frightening his precious treasure, so instead, he gave her a soothing reassurance: “Don’t be afraid. As long as you never betray me, I will never abandon you, not in this life or any other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhao Yu’s promise, Ma Xiao Jiao burst into tears—“Wah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how immense her psychological pressure had been these past days; she had only kept reminding herself she was still useful to Zhao Yu by working harder and harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She understood all the logic, yet she could not suppress the tidal waves of anxiety surging within her. Each night, as she tossed and turned in sleepless dread, fears like fine needles pricked her heart, jolting her awake again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exaggeration, the only truly restful sleep she’d had in days was last night, curled in Zhao Yu’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone revealed how immense her psychological burden was—and how utterly dependent she was on Zhao Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now, hearing Zhao Yu’s solemn and heartfelt promise, did Ma Xiao Jiao’s tense nerves finally ease; all her grievances, worries, and fears erupted in tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu gently patted her back, like soothing a frightened little beast. He recalled every moment since they’d met—from when she was the first of the five women he’d taken, to all the storms they’d weathered together. Through it all, Ma Xiao Jiao had stood by him, aiding his research, bearing his children, holding up half the sky of his Great Song. She had given him immense support in his work and boundless tolerance in his life—how could he ever abandon such a woman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There, there, don’t cry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu tenderly wiped away her tears. “We’ve been through so much together—how could I ever leave you? You’re my most precious treasure in this lifetime.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao lifted her tear-blurred face, sniffling, “Really? You truly don’t blame us—for the car crash? I mean, Lin Jie driving and killing you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was an accident—wasn’t the brake faulty? And thanks to you all, I became Emperor, gained thousands of concubines—and crucially, you all gave yourselves to me, bore me children, helped me govern the Great Song. We’ve lived together for sixteen or seventeen years, our bond has always been strong—how could I forever hold a single unintentional mistake against you?” Zhao Yu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ma Xiao Jiao had already thought of all these things, only hearing Zhao Yu say them aloud finally let her release the tension she’d held for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freed from the fear of abandonment, she immediately asked her most pressing question: “Why did you tell Qing Cheng you’re also a transmigrator, but not me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu thought, ‘Women are always women—just moments ago she was crying like a drowned flower, and now that she’s dry, she’s jealous again, fixating on some trivial thing.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled inwardly, but his expression was tender as he lightly pinched her nose. “So, you’re jealous?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao pouted and turned her head away, though her eyes betrayed her concern: “Hmph, who’s jealous? I’m just curious—why did Qing Cheng get to know, but not me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu gently turned her face back to his and explained: “About five years ago, one day, Qing Cheng made me a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing how Yuan Qing Cheng discovered he was also a transmigrator, Ma Xiao Jiao widened her eyes: “Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a Qing Dynasty dish? No way—it sounds like an ancient recipe name!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought the same thing, so I casually said, ‘It’s just a pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall—I’ll just replace it for you.’ But Qing Cheng, you know how observant she is—she immediately deduced I was a transmigrator.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Zhao Yu and Ma Xiao Jiao had lain back down; Zhao Yu held her as he recounted how Yuan Qing Cheng had discovered his secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Ma Xiao Jiao exclaimed in surprise: “Qing Cheng is so smart! If it were me, I’d never have noticed—even if I had, I’d have assumed one of the other four told you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, she remembered something: “Wait—Qing Cheng knew you were a transmigrator five years ago, and never told us a word all this time? So secretive—what a ‘good sister’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu defended Yuan Qing Cheng: “I told her not to say anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao lifted her head, eyes blazing with mock fury, and scolded: “You’re even worse—you’ve lied to us all this time, you’re so scheming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu replied calmly: “Oh? Am I really that scheming?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1140,"2026-06-20T15:06:50.687Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d33767f7582fab905017761831493ed5a99dfd9879171e2971a7199972554b0a","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-346","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-344",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-cover.jpg"]
