I don't believe anyone ever thought that she was dead, but while it is never explicitly stated, the Empire seems to have male dominated inheritance laws, which is why Cedric is heir instead of his older sister. After Musse's father passed away she was just forgotten as politically irrelevant since her uncle was heir.

The Egrets are Musse's maternal grandparents, so no one thinks she was born into that household, it's just that not everyone is familiar with who get mother was married to.
