People who had been living as a noble lady for their whole life would find living as ordinary person harder and might be close to impossible. Women who no longer had the support of her family members could only wait for her death. Working hard might be possible, but she didn't want Nan Hua to lose her status as the main daughter of an official.
If she did, there's a chance that she might lose her marriage agreement. After all, a lowly peasant wasn't an exactly good position.
And if Nan Luo were to lose his position as the son of Nan Shu Cheng, it would be harder for him. He had to start everything from the very bottom position. How could she bear to see her children suffer?
She didn't want to leave them under Nan Shu Cheng alone either and leave them to fend for herself. What kind of mother would bear to see their children suffer while she ran away?
She couldn't do it.
Nan Hua would not live well with a father like that.
