"1 thing i don't understand is how Brandish got the idea that Layla was the one that killed her mother."

Not too surprising if you look at it.

We know that Layla tried to contact Grammi for some time and while those messages arrived too late, they did arrive at some point. From those messages Brandish most likely knew that Layla desperately wanted or needed the key and she knew that her mother completely adored said key.

Then Grammi went to visit Layla, but didn't return alive, and the key went back to Layla's family instead of being passed to Brandish. For someone not knowing the full story, this can easily seem suspicious.

But there are even futher "incriminating" pieces of to the puzzle (if Brandish ever learned these facts): Grammi didn't just die at some point of the journey, but died pretty much on Layla's doorstep and she was killed by one of Layla's most loyal servants.

Put it all together and it's easy to get the wrong picture.
