Wei Nianjin had already thought of the answer to this question.

She smiled slightly and said calmly, "The Crown Prince and the Prince are fighting for the people of the world. My father is a traitor. I would rather serve the Crown Prince and the Prince than disregard the lives of the people and stand with my father."

She spoke with great conviction, but Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng didn't believe a word she said.

Wei Yunting smiled and said, "Then you can stay here for now. Once we've captured the capital, we will certainly not forget your contributions."

Wei Nianjin was somewhat dissatisfied: "Does Your Highness mean that you won't need me anymore? Besides knowing how to make gunpowder, I also know some other things."

As a chemical engineering student, Wei Nianjin did nothing but read Mary Sue novels and study at school.

Because of her poor social skills, she often fell silent after just a few words. To make herself feel better, she focused all her energy on studying.

"Gunpowder was just a small gift; I also received some other formulas."

Wei Nianjin hinted.

She had to make herself stand out and be unique in order to attract the attention of Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng.

Originally, Wei Nianjin only wanted to marry Xiao Sheng and become the empress.

But after meeting Wei Yunting, she changed her mind.

She was determined to become empress in the future, but before that, she had to make both of them fall head over heels for her and fall in love with her.

Isn't that how it's written in the book?

Wei Yunting and Xiao Sheng are both outstanding individuals; they will surely recognize her talent and fall in love with her.

As she pondered, Wei Nianjin suddenly felt troubled.

Her goal is to become empress, and that will never change.

But if Wei Yunting falls madly in love with her, she doesn't know if she can control herself.

Wei Nianjin felt very troubled just thinking about the prospect of two men vying for her attention.

Xiao Sheng is so handsome, she likes him very much.

But Wei Yunting's physique was clearly that of someone who could have sex seven times a night, and she couldn't quite let go of it.

How should I choose?

"Miss Wei, Miss Wei?"

Wei Nianjin was deep in thought when she suddenly snapped out of it and almost lost her composure.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Sheng smiled warmly: "I've discussed it with the Prince. Since you possess so many rare items, you are our honored guest. We'll arrange accommodations for you and help you settle in. What do you think?"

"The Prince and the Crown Prince wouldn't have forgotten about me, would they?"

Wei Nianjin only cared about this issue.

Xiao Sheng laughed again, and his smile made him even more handsome: "Of course not. You are our honored guest, and we will be working with you on important plans in the future. How could we ignore you?"

Wei Nianjin was satisfied with the answer.

She smiled and asked, "So, where do you plan to arrange for me to stay?"

"Of course it's the best place; we won't treat you badly."

Wei Nianjin shook her head and asked, "Can I choose my own place to stay?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Sheng's eyes, but his outward appearance remained as warm and welcoming as ever: "What do you mean by that, Miss Wei? Have you already chosen your place of residence?"

Wei Yunting also watched Wei Nianjin without showing any emotion.

They had just settled down and wanted to rest. If Wei Nianjin had found accommodation in advance, her suspiciousness would increase even further.

Wei Nianjin didn't catch the implication in Xiao Sheng's words. She said directly, "On my way here, I heard that the prince was fighting alongside his concubine. She and I are both women, and I want to live with her."

Jiang Tian's presence with the army could not escape the notice of those powerful families.

She didn't intend to keep it a secret. After each battle, she would act as a temporary doctor to treat the wounded soldiers. Over time, everyone knew about Jiang Tian's existence.

Wei Nianjin wanted to live with Jiang Tian purely out of curiosity.

She wanted to see what Wei Yunting's mistress looked like, and to see if Wei Yunting's feelings for her were genuine or feigned.

You should know that she is very picky; she won't accept a man who has other women in his heart.

Wei Yunting's expression was originally quite calm, but after hearing what Wei Nianjin said, his smile gradually faded.

“Then Miss Wei will be disappointed, because my mistress lives with me every day. Wherever I live, she lives.”
