Why not tell the truth, and let the chips fall where they may? (yeah, I know its a tv show)If her excuse is so plausible, why didn't she use it? Good riddance. I will miss her breasts, though.

It's not as simple as all that. The child's father was still alive at the time. He probably would have been killed by the enraged husband.

Also, the welfare of the child was a concern to the mother. Lucius is a good man, but he is still a product of his time. The wife even had to go so far as tell him the the child was blameless.
