As someone who took a glance at novel spoilers for this series, this wasn’t the first time the Duchess let the head maid do what she wanted. The duchess did the exact same thing with her eldest kid. She let the head maid take charge of his education, to the point where she thinks he feels closer to the maid than her. Well… at least she treats the MC and her kids the same. I assume she’ll eventually help the mc out, I haven’t really read all of the novel, but the damage is already done with her first kid…
Btw the first kid does not in fact like the maid more than her, it’s just her assumption. But the fact that it takes her so long to do anything is disappointing in my opinion, especially because she’s portrayed to be very caring.
Not sure if this was made super clear in the chapter but in the novel at least, it was made clear that ‘breeding ground for crime/criminal district’ is the literal meaning of the ML’s name
