Her tone sounded angry, as if she was defending Yan Zao.
Zu He was left without a reply to Yu Yesang's question; in his heart, he also hoped it was not Yan Zao's doing, but the current one-sided evidence all pointed to Yan Zao, and Yan Zao herself neither admitted nor denied it.
What made him even angrier was Yan Zao's demeanor, so composed that it made it hard to believe her even without evidence.
Zhou Sicheng was much calmer than Zu He, and he looked at Yan Zao with a profound gaze, "Yan Zao, I trust your character, but your stubbornness, how can anyone help you?"
He and Zu He shared the same urgency regarding Yan Zao's attitude of neither admitting nor denying.
But he knew Yan Zao's personality well; when she was framed by classmates, punished by teachers, she didn't explain anything. She accepted the punishment and then retaliated in her own way against those who bullied her. Those classmates eventually admitted to the teacher that they had set Yan Zao up.
