Wen Su was scolded and her tears fell in big drops. "Mom, I'm sorry."

"You're just a wild girl. What's the point of saying sorry? This vase is your father's favorite. Wait until your father scolds you. You cry all day long, as if I did something to you."

Chen Yuan couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly walked over and helped Wen Su up from the ground.

"Are you okay?"

Wen Su nodded, as if she was very afraid of Xie Ninglan.

"Aunt, Wen Zhi just broke a vase. There's no need for you to get so angry."

Seeing that it was Shen Yuan, Xie Ninglan became even more annoyed. "I thought it was someone else? Miss Wen, this is our second branch's business. You haven't even established yourself in the Wen family yet, and you're already meddling in other people's affairs?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan showed no sign of weakness. "Wen Su is your daughter. I don't think your way of raising her is right. She's not a child anymore. Insulting her like this will leave her with severe trauma."

Hearing this, Xie Ninglan laughed sarcastically, "Oh, I don't care if she has any trauma or not. She's just been spoiled. She cries all day long, is clumsy, and isn't very smart. What does my way of education have to do with you? It seems your mother didn't raise you well either. You actually dare to be so rude to your elders and even learn to interrupt and talk back."

"Oh, no, I forgot. You didn't grow up in the Wen family, so naturally you didn't get any education. And you still want to interfere in the affairs of my second house. Shen Yuan, you are too self-righteous and too involved."

Chen Yuan was helpless. "Aunt, respect is mutual. The Wen family has never educated their children this way. Is a broken vase more important than Wen Su's life? If that's the case, why did you adopt her in the first place?"

"Bah, if I had known she would be so useless when she grew up, I wouldn't even look at her."

Xie Ninglan left after she finished speaking.

Wen Su looked aggrieved, tears welling up in her eyes, and she didn't want her to stay at all.

"Hey, I just told you yesterday that you can't be so soft. No matter what, you are still the daughter of the Wen family."

Wen Su smiled helplessly, "Sister Chen Yuan, do you remember what I told you yesterday? I'm different from you. My mother never thought about raising me. I was taken back by my father, and I didn't have a good life."

"I studied very hard and was always at the top of my class. Whenever I fell behind, they would scold me. They already had two biological sons, yet they still adopted me."

"But you know, when I found out someone wanted to adopt me, I was so happy. I thought I would be happy for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

It would be better to live in an orphanage than to be adopted by them.

Chen Yuan felt the same way and understood how difficult it was for her to live in the Wen family.

Just like her, she has been in the Shen family for so many years, and has been a substitute for Shen Jiajia for so many years. Even if she raises a dog, she will have feelings for it. However, the Shen family wants to eat her up and doesn't even care about her life.

"It's okay, you can come to me if you feel sad in the future."

Wen Su smiled at her, a smile that came from the heart. "Sister Chen Yuan, you've only been in the Wen family for a short time, and now you've offended Xie Ninglan. She'll definitely make things difficult for you in the future. It's all my fault."

Chen Yuan chuckled. It was really stupid for him to still care about others when he was in danger.

"It doesn't matter. If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone. If she provokes me, I certainly won't let her bully me."

"Sister Chen Yuan, it's better for you not to get close to the second room. The water there is very deep."

She was about to say something when suddenly the subordinate of the eldest house came over and said, "The eldest lady's wife said she wants to see you for something."

"Got it. I'll be there in a minute."

After saying goodbye to Wen Su, Chen Yuan turned and left.

Wen Su's eyes were full of envy. Looking at her back, he suddenly felt inexplicably upset.

Yun Fei waited for her in the living room for a while. When she saw Chen Yuan coming back, she immediately said, "Xixi, come here. Mom wants to ask you if you went to the second room just now."

Shen Yuan nodded.

"Xixi, it's not that mom says you're doing something wrong, but it's better for us, the eldest wife, not to interfere in the affairs of the second wife. Nothing good will happen if you get in touch with them, so listen to mom and have less contact with them in the future, okay?"

Chen Yuan suddenly felt that the second house was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

"Okay, Mom."

"Well, be obedient, Mom will make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs for lunch today."

Shen Yuan nodded obediently.

In the afternoon, Grandma Wen wanted to take Chen Yuan to learn about Chinese medicine. Wen Zhi suddenly got excited and insisted on going too. Grandma Wen had no choice but to take her.

There are many fine herbs in the Wen family’s warehouse, most of which were bought at auctions.

Grandma Wen explained the various herbs and their functions, and Shen Yuan listened carefully while taking notes.

Wen Zhi felt very bored. Instead of eating, she moved here and looked there.

"Grandma, why does this Chinese medicine look so unique? It looks like a snake."

"This is called snake and scorpion grass. Where snake and scorpion grass grows, there are often a lot of snakes and scorpions, and they are usually very poisonous. However, snake and scorpion grass is indeed a traditional Chinese medicine used to treat snake venom. And snake and scorpion grass itself is poisonous. If it is not specially treated, it can easily be fatal."

"This one was bought at an auction house. It cost a full 30 million yuan."

Wen Zhi was very surprised and couldn't believe that the Wen family would send people to pick herbs regularly.

For two consecutive days, Chen Yuan studied seriously, and the notebook was already filled with a dense list of various herbs.

“Girl Shen, you have a great understanding. I only told you once, and you remembered it all. Not bad, not bad. You are indeed someone I value.”

When Wen Zhi heard her grandmother praising her, she felt inexplicably unhappy.

It's just carrying a few herbs, but Chen Yuan is really a masochist, wanting to show off in every way.

"^_^ Old Madam Wen saw Wen Zhi's unconvinced expression and immediately asked her a question. Wen Zhi hesitated and couldn't answer it.

"You, you said you wanted to come here to learn, and I didn't stop you. But look at you, is this your attitude towards learning? You're not serious about learning. I've talked about this herbal medicine many times, but you haven't listened to me at all."

Grandma shook her head helplessly. Wen Zhi had studied with her before, but this was the same every time. She had become accustomed to Wen Zhi's whims.

Wen Zhi curled her lips and blamed Chen Yuan for all this.

The next day, Grandma Wen reminded them that it was time to go to the temple to burn incense, as they did every year.

“Girl Shen, come with me this time.”

Shen Yuan didn't have any objection.
