Traitor!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ma Xiao Jiao went back to sleep, not rising until the sun was high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ma Xiao Jiao finally got up, Xi Duo hurriedly brought her a bowl of lotus seed soup to bring good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao grumbled: “Still having kids? If I have another, I’ll turn into a pig.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, she ate the lotus seed soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Duo said beside her: “Of course you must have more. Your Majesty doesn’t know how envious others are—you alone have borne the Emperor six children, including five imperial princes, and still enjoy his favor. What greater honor could there be? And you’re only in your thirties, still young and beautiful, no different from a sixteen-year-old girl—perhaps you’ll bear him ten sons yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the thought of bearing ten sons for Zhao Yu, Ma Xiao Jiao blurted out: “Then I really will turn into a pig?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the lotus seed soup and being dressed and adorned by Xi Duo and others, Ma Xiao Jiao went straight to Yuan Qing Cheng’s Imperial Agricultural Research Base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ma Xiao Jiao hadn’t gone to work on research but had come to her without warning—and with a face clearly saying “I’m here to cause trouble”—Yuan Qing Cheng felt utterly baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qing Cheng asked: “What fragrant wind blew you here, Jiao Jiao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao replied coolly: “Let’s talk in the secret chamber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ma Xiao Jiao’s clearly irritated tone, Yuan Qing Cheng became even more certain this visit was hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This puzzled her further: “What have I possibly done to upset her? We’ve always gotten along so well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao wasn’t like Zhang Chun, who always wanted to assert dominance, nor was she Li Lin, the de facto leader among the women, nor Ye Shi Yun, who was always dramatic and demanding. She was kind-hearted, indecisive, easygoing, unambitious, peaceful, warm, loyal, even obedient—and crucially, she had zero conflict of interest with Yuan Qing Cheng. Frankly, Yuan Qing Cheng couldn’t imagine what she had done wrong to provoke Ma Xiao Jiao’s anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qing Cheng didn’t dwell on it, because someone as open-hearted as Ma Xiao Jiao wouldn’t hold resentment long—especially now that she had come here in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, Yuan Qing Cheng led Ma Xiao Jiao straight to the secret chamber and had Xu Poxi bring in the watermelons she had just cultivated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Xu Poxi and her attendants left, Yuan Qing Cheng warmly urged Ma Xiao Jiao: “Try it—how close is it to the watermelons we ate in our last life?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao glanced at the watermelon, already seven or eight percent like those from her past life, and her mouth watered. She hadn’t tasted a sweet, cooling watermelon in far too long—truthfully, she missed that flavor deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she held back, her face stern: “Don’t try to bribe me. It won’t work. If you don’t give me a proper explanation today, we’re not done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yuan Qing Cheng smiled and asked: “What explanation do you want? Did my child bully yours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yuan Qing Cheng still joking, Ma Xiao Jiao warned her: “Don’t dodge me. If you don’t give me a proper explanation, our decades-long friendship ends here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao had even spoken of cutting ties—and this wasn’t some minor issue like children fighting, as Yuan Qing Cheng had guessed. She finally realized something serious was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qing Cheng carefully reviewed every moment since meeting Ma Xiao Jiao, certain she had never wronged her. “Only…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qing Cheng looked at Ma Xiao Jiao and asked calmly: “You know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao didn’t catch Yuan Qing Cheng’s Shitan —she exploded: “If I hadn’t accidentally overheard you talking to the Emperor, how much longer were you going to hide it from me?!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Ma Xiao Jiao had indeed learned Zhao Yu was also a transmigrator, Yuan Qing Cheng, knowing she was in the wrong, immediately sat beside her and took her hand: “Jiao Jiao, listen to me—I never meant to hide it from you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Xiao Jiao yanked her hand away: “You didn’t mean to deceive us? Then why did you deceive us for five years? If you’d truly meant to deceive us, wouldn’t you have killed us with lies?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Qing Cheng knew that when an honest person became stubborn, they were the hardest to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long known she couldn’t hide this from the four women forever—they would find out eventually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she had already prepared her response.\u003C\u002Fp>",965,"2026-06-20T15:06:50.687Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fb5c9fa20fbad700d3a1d2e0503f5197899786df855dd5693805659fe393439e","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-347","i-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-chapter-345",348,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-to-the-northern-song-with-them-cover.jpg"]
