Zhi'er paused for a moment.
She thought carefully, "Brother Fu Ce, what you say makes some sense."
"Third Uncle suddenly acting out of character and saying he'd abandon all his family assets for Mu Rou is indeed very strange."
"However, I can't think of any reason why he'd do such a thing."
Feng Fuce's gaze darkened slightly, "When a person does something that doesn't match their character, there are only two possibilities."
Zhi'er listened attentively.
"Either they are driven by some kind of benefit and purposely say those things."
"Or," Feng Fuce paused, "they are possessed by an evil spirit, leading them to act uncharacteristically against their will."
Zhi'er felt a slight thrill of fear, "Possessed by an evil spirit? That seems unlikely."
She explained, "Mother once told me that before she left, to protect Father and his family from your revenge and pursuit, she specifically left her Dharma Seal on each of them."
