Edward kept his engagement to Lucy so Mrs. Ferrars shifted Edward's inheritence to Robert.
How were Lucy and Robert allowed to get married? How come Mrs. Ferrars did not switch it back to Edward since Robert was going to marry Lucy?

We are told that the money was irrevocably settled on Robert. Mrs. Ferrars couldn't do anything about it.

Because Mrs. Ferrars had already legally given the inheritance to Robert; it was legally his, so she couldn't take it back.

shareThat Lucy was some advanced level gold digger!
