I mean maybe he has a good reason. Like he thinks it's for her own good that her power is suppressed
Maybe the temple also spoke bs about their daughter's weak constitution and her parents were used by those people at the temple so liek maybe they didn't know any better about the pills too since as mentioned in this chapter, it is a grave sin to doubt the temple.
Wouldn't explain why the father is super sketch about it
Maybe the temple threaten to take the daughter away and put her to use in some nefarious way if she ever manifested? Or he could be super sketchy and they are all suppressing their family until "the right time" ever comes...

So even the father lied to her?? Alright plot twist keep it up but like why would they give her that?? This feels wrong for some reason
