If Shallan's brother were the shardbearer that Kaladin had killed and Shallan received her father's shardblade by murdering him, how had their house grown into such financial despair?
Shardblades are exceedingly rare, and two in the same house seems relatively unlikely - Dalinar and Adolin seem very much the exception, more than the rule. If a house had two shardblades, they would have a massive advantage in inter-house conflicts and their financial situation would never have been so bad.
It seems unlikely that their house ever possessed two of the weapons.
