Shen Wan glanced at it, then quickly looked away, afraid of getting too absorbed in it. Her heart was pounding, and she forced herself to focus her attention back on the painting behind her.
She pushed Xie Jingyan away, saying, "You won't even let me see a painting, what else is there to say?"
Xie Jingyan said, "I'm afraid you'll get angry if you see this."
Shen Wan turned her face away, "I'm not that easily angered."
Xie Jingyan said, "You said it yourself, see?"
Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan suspiciously. He had been angry with her yesterday when he looked at the painting, and he had just stopped her from looking at it. But suddenly he let her look at it again. How could his personality be so fickle? Could he be trying to steal the painting while she was looking at it?
Xie Jingyan guessed what Shen Wan was thinking and tapped her on the forehead, saying, "If I wanted to snatch it, could you hold onto it?"
Shen Wan silently took out the painting and unfolded it.

Shen Wan was furious.
The portrait depicts the scene from years ago when a kite fell into a tree, and he saw her climb up to retrieve it.

She looked up and glared at Xie Jingyan, "You drew me, fine, but you drew me so ugly!"

Shen Wan angrily threw the painting at him and walked away.

Although she didn't see the person in the portrait yesterday, she at least saw a hairstyle, and it wasn't Consort Chen.
That bastard not only changed the painting, but also prevented her from peeking at it, so he changed it to a painting that would make her furious just looking at it!
