Mc 17 and the ml is 50 yo with 3 kids. Two of the said kids constantly bully mc, as well as the maids constantly go against her, yet mc does nothing. It feels like a story about poor young gal that needs big strong man to help her, which is truly a poor writing and just uninteresting plot.
I don't think you fully grasp the situation FL has been forced into. She is well aware that she is NOT their mother, who only died 6 months ago mind you, and doesn't have the clout in that STRANGER'S house to do anything. She's the new wife, sure, but her husband isn't home to reinforce her authority. It's like adopting a second cat. The 1st one is likely NOT going to like the second for awhile. And an absent owner? That's a recipie for disaster. She isn't doing nothing. She's a 17 y/o girls who just had her fiance die and was forced into a new marriage. She's desperately trying to figure out how to slot herself into this new dynamic.
Yvette is perfectly capable without a man saving her. Dismissing her character because she's demure at the start, in essentially enemy territory w/o any support, is a disservice to her efforts.

Tldr: Give Yvette time to find her footing. The story is still just starting out.
Mc just went in the carriage with the guy who tried to physically assault her just because... Because she suddenly thought that it was alright? With is going on there! It's bad as a smut and as a story.
