Shes an idiot and you cant even excuse it to "trauma" and "low self esteem" why she is so dim.
All those years she didnt work out the ML's mother was basically poisoning her when it was so brazenly obvious. Also, the scene where the ML's arranges for her to enter a ball in a servant cart and she not clocking on to what is being done to her shows she is helpless lol

shes just as bad as her ex husband if shes hiding her son away in an orphanage.
