She was always the one who looked after the pigs in the team, and she was always the one who watched over the sows during mating. So as soon as someone entered the house and lifted Wang Lan's pillow, she recognized the packet of medicine.

She glanced silently at the educated youth and other women who followed her into the house, then bent down, picked up the packet of medicine, and walked outside.

Wang Fulin and the others were waiting outside. When they came out, he was about to ask them something, but Wang Xiuyu spoke first.

"We found the captain! It was that packet of medicine. I was wondering if it had fallen somewhere, but I never imagined it had been stolen and used to do such a despicable thing!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Wang Lan, her disdain and contempt completely undisguised.

Wang Fulin took two deep breaths, but still didn't ask Wang Lan, and continued to look at Zhu Pandi.

"How did she drug you? And it seems you all knew she drugged you, so why did you still ingest it?"

Zhu Pandi bit her lip, steeled her resolve, and confessed everything that had happened that day.

After she finished speaking, the entire room fell silent as everyone processed what she had said.

"You mean, Wang Lan was planning to drug Zhu Zhiqing, but by some twist of fate, you two ended up eating the steamed bun?"

"Pfft—oh dear, the brigade leader's way of speaking is truly unique. What do you mean by 'by some twist of fate'? It's clearly these two gluttons who, by some unseen force, saved Zhu Zhiqing from disaster, hahahaha..."

Someone, a straightforward auntie, chimed in, making everyone burst into laughter. However, Wang Fulin stood there, his face still expressionless, waiting for Zhu Pandi's reply.

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the women stopped laughing, shrank back, and quietly watched from the side with their arms crossed.

I dare not argue anymore, or I might get kicked out.

Zhu Pandi thought that since things had already come to this point, she might as well crush Wang Lan to fulfill her own desires, so she steeled herself and continued speaking.

"That's right. When she forced me to deliver the steamed buns, I didn't know there was medicine in them. She didn't tell me."

I just thought she definitely had bad intentions, and Zhu Qinghao definitely didn't want it, so I took the buns back. Who knew Chen Hui would snatch half of them again..."

"It must be the steamed bun! I thought it tasted weird when I ate it, and then I started feeling unwell right after I finished it!"

Zhu Pandi wasn't initially sure if the problem was the steamed bun, but when Chen Hui said that Wang Lan had drugged him, she suddenly felt it made sense, and that's how the connection was made.

So as she spoke, she became more and more certain, and even remembered some details that she had previously overlooked, such as the strange taste inside the steamed bun.

Chen Hui hadn't expected things to turn out this way. However, the fact that he wasn't taking the medicine with Zhu Qinghao made him feel rather regretful.

However, he knew that the most urgent task was to solidify Wang Lan's guilt, so after Zhu Pandi finished speaking, he quickly echoed her statement.

"Yes, steamed buns, they're steamed buns, but they have a weird taste..."

Having obtained confirmation from both parties involved, Wang Fulin was almost certain that Wang Lan had administered the drug.

He glanced at Wang Lan, who was cowering in the corner, and said coldly:

“Wang Zhiqing, you can speak now.”

However, Wang Lan is now practically nailed down, and there's not much to say, but she's not one to easily accept her fate.

"No, no, it wasn't me, I didn't!"

The older women present, seeing that she was still being stubborn even in this state, all felt contempt for her.

"Oh, so you still won't admit it? We've already found the medicine, and you still can't deny it. You have such a thick skin, how come we don't?"

"Stop talking, let's wait and see. The captain is still here, it's not our turn to speak..."
