Comments of chapter undefined of Lady Arkesh

Your thoughts on why her mom might have avoided it even after she stayed are part of it actually. I don't like guiding readers towards any conclusion because I believe that part of the fun of reading something is drawing your own conclusions about characters actions, but in this case I think it's fine to explain my thoughts. Her house is primarily Patriarchal with her father's decisions being final. On top of that there's still a lingering fear and prejudice about a firstborn daughter. That kind of bias isn't solved easily. And then there was the explanation about Mari's name. Her mother was afraid to name her after the actual four leaf clover because of superstition. Keep in mind that there's still the fact that the decision to leave is ultimately up to Mari as stated in the clause in the agreement, so they can't know when she might decide to go. There's also another reason but that's a story spoiler so I can't say :)
