Chapter 68: The Duchess of Ding’s Playground

“Help! Duke Li has fallen into the water!”

A piercing scream suddenly cut through the gentle music drifting across Lady’s Lake. People on nearby pleasure boats watched in stunned silence as a tall figure tumbled from an elaborate vessel and plunged into the water with a loud splash. When the meaning of the cry finally registered, everyone was startled—Duke Li had fallen into the lake! The surrounding boats quickly drew near—those who had grievances with Duke Li positioned themselves for a better view of the spectacle, while his associates hastily ordered their servants to jump in and rescue him.

The commotion naturally drew the attention of those inside the cabin. Murong Ting and Leng Haoyu rushed in first. “A’Li, A’Li, are you alright?” Murong Ting grabbed Ye Li and anxiously looked her over. Only after confirming Ye Li was unharmed did she release an unsatisfied breath and ask, “What happened with Duke Li? A’Li, did he bully you?” Ye Li smiled with a hint of lingering shock and trepidation, “I’m fine… it’s Duke Li. He… somehow fell into the lake.”

“Your Grace?!” Ye Ying and Princess Qixia exclaimed in alarm, rushing to the window. Many people had already gone into the lake for the rescue, but Mo Jingli was nowhere to be seen. Ye Ying anxiously asked, “How did His Grace fall into the lake? He… he can’t swim!” This time, Ye Ying didn’t suspect Ye Li—after all, in her mind, Mo Jingli was still an accomplished man of both civil and martial arts who couldn’t possibly have been thrown into the lake by Ye Li without a sound. Ye Li didn’t bother comforting her shocked sister at this moment, simply saying, “It’s fine, so many people have gone to rescue Duke Li. He’ll certainly be alright.” Ye Ying stared at the water with tears in her eyes, too preoccupied to say anything more to Ye Li. Princess Qixia, however, looked around at everyone in the cabin before turning to leave. Ye Li said coolly, “Miss, where are you going?”

“I’m… I’m going to save His Grace, what’s it to you!” Princess Qixia naturally knew that Ye Li had recognized her. Remembering how Ye Li had seen her in such a pathetic state, Princess Qixia felt uncomfortable just looking at her and wanted even less to stay in the same cabin. Ye Li pulled Ye Ying over and said, “Fourth Sister, take this young lady back to your boat. Since she’s Duke Li’s person, you as his wife should take good care of guests and make sure nothing happens.”

“But…” Ye Ying hesitated—she despised Princess Qixia, and besides, with Duke Li’s life hanging in the balance, how could she care about such matters?

“That’s enough, don’t forget your position,” Ye Li frowned, “Duke Li will be fine, don’t lose your composure first.”

After persuading Ye Ying to leave, Ye Li smiled at the other three and sat down leisurely to watch the rescue efforts below. After a while, Duke Li was finally pulled from the water. In the sunlight reflecting off the lake’s surface, one could clearly see that Mo Jingli’s usually stern face now bore a large bruise on his forehead, likely from being in the water too long, though his nose appeared temporarily unharmed. People scrambled to carry him onto the Duke Li Manor’s boat anchored nearby, and as onlookers gradually gathered around, Ye Li’s area became considerably quieter.

Leng Haoyu thoughtfully observed Ye Li as she reclined casually by the window, asking, “Is the Duchess not worried at all?”

Ye Li smiled faintly, “Worried about what? Rest assured, Master Leng, Duke Li has great fortune and won’t come to harm. As you saw just now, he’s still alive, isn’t he?”

Murong Ting rested her chin in her hand, asking curiously, “How did Duke Li just suddenly fall into the lake? While it’s true that one or two people fall in during the peak boating season each year, it’s usually either unruly children or frail young ladies. How could Duke Li, a man trained in martial arts since childhood, fall in?”

Ye Li answered seriously, “People stumble, horses trip—Duke Li… probably stood up suddenly when the boat was unstable and fell in.”

“Was the boat ever unstable?” Murong Ting, who had been outside the whole time, wondered internally. “Shouldn’t his lightness skill be quite good?”

“Duke Li fears water, he probably forgot momentarily,” Ye Li replied with an unchanged expression. “Lightness skill isn’t omnipotent, especially when one leg suddenly goes numb. Unless he has certain people’s ability to fly without using legs at all.” However… Ye Li silently reflected that it wouldn’t be so easy to get to Mo Jingli next time. She would have to be more careful when meeting Mo Jingli in the future.

Hua Tianxiang wasn’t interested in how Mo Jingli fell in, but said worriedly, “Li’er, Duke Li met with mishap on your boat—what about the Empress Dowager and Noble Consort Xianzhao?” Ye Li blinked innocently, “Boats occasionally become unstable. Should I be held responsible if Duke Li had been drinking and lost his balance? Well… I suppose not securing the windows properly was my fault.” Leng Haoyu’s gaze swept over the only two open windows in the cabin as he said with a smile, “Though it’s only early summer, it is a bit warm over the lake. Everyone surely understands the Duchess forgetting to close the windows properly.”

“Thank you for your understanding, Second Master Leng,” Ye Li smiled.

Hua Tianxiang shook her head, “Li’er, we naturally understand. But Duke Li has always been at odds with Duke Ding and has had conflicts with you as well. He can make something out of nothing—you should be more careful.” Ye Li smiled, “Thank you, Tianxiang, I’ll be mindful.” If Mo Jingli really had the nerve to tell everyone he was beaten by a woman, she wouldn’t mind having a proper discussion with him. She wouldn’t act rashly without thorough consideration. Thinking of Mo Jingli’s wretched face earlier, Ye Li suddenly felt her fists itching and secretly regretted not landing a few more punches.

Duke Li Manor

Mo Jingli was awakened by intermittent crying. His whole body was already indescribably uncomfortable, and the rising and falling sobs made his head feel like it was exploding. “Shut… shut up!”

“Your Grace, you’re finally awake…” Ye Ying joyfully rushed over. Princess Qixia beside her also hurriedly squeezed closer, “Brother Jingli, how are you? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

Mo Jingli closed his eyes briefly, finally remembering what had happened to him. A breath caught in his chest unable to escape, leading to another bout of earth-shattering coughing. Ye Ying quickly supported Mo Jingli and helped him catch his breath, “Your Grace, are you feeling better?” Looking at Ye Ying’s tear-stained delicate face, then thinking of a certain detestable woman’s cold, unperturbed expression, Mo Jingli felt a wave of vexation. “Stop crying, this duke isn’t dead yet. Where’s Ye Li?”

Princess Qixia snorted lightly, “Brother Jingli, what are you saying? Ye Li naturally went back to her Duke Ding Manor. You met with misfortune in her boat, and she didn’t even come to look in on you. How discourteous!” Ye Ying glared at Princess Qixia, “Third Sister is far more courteous than certain people. Men and women should be separate—how could Third Sister come see Your Grace in his sickbed?” Ye Ying wasn’t foolish; Princess Qixia could enter Duke Li’s manor even if her own father couldn’t stop her. Though Ye Li had never gotten along with her since childhood, she also had a grudge with Princess Qixia—she would definitely take her sister’s side over Princess Qixia’s. Thinking of how Ye Li had reminded her to watch Princess Qixia and not let her wander about, and how even the usually critical Noble Consort had exceptionally praised her twice after their return, Ye Ying felt that sometimes listening to this Third Sister wasn’t wrong. After all, no matter how capable and intelligent Second Sister was, being in the palace meant she couldn’t help much. Grandmother was right—after marriage, the sisters should support each other.

“You!” Princess Qixia was furious. That incident had permanently lowered her standing among the capital’s noble ladies, and she would even lose her identity as Princess Qixia. Though she could let go of everything and return to Nanzhao—even without being Princess Qixia, she would still be the high and mighty Princess of Nanzhao. But she truly loved Brother Jingli—even without her princess status, she wanted to be with Brother Jingli forever. “Brother Jingli, look at her…”

“Enough! Qixia, Ying’er, you both go out. This duke is tired!” Mo Jingli said impatiently. Though both women were usually difficult to deal with, they still obeyed Mo Jingli’s words completely. Seeing his darkened expression, they could only quietly rise and leave with reluctant faces.

“Jingli.” The room had barely quieted when Noble Consort Xianzhao entered. Mo Jingli quickly tried to rise, but Noble Consort Xianzhao pressed his shoulder down first and sat by the bed, frowning, “How could you be so careless?” Mo Jingli said in a deep voice, “Son has caused Mother to worry.” Noble Consort Xianzhao continued staring at him intently, asking, “How did you suddenly fall into the water? And on Duke Ding’s boat no less. Mother has told you so many times not to provoke that Ye Li anymore. Tell Mother, was it Ye Li who made you fall in?”

Mo Jingli’s face darkened, and after a moment of silence he said, “I fell in carelessly.”

“Carelessly? At a time like this and you’re still being careless?” Noble Consort Xianzhao reproached him dissatisfiedly, “Mother won’t ask you what really happened this time. But… from now on, stay away from Duke Ding Manor’s people. And don’t provoke Duke Ding either, understand?” Mo Jingli raised his eyebrows disdainfully, saying, “Mother, you and Empress Dowager think too highly of Mo Xiuyao.” Seeing his contemptuous expression, Noble Consort Xianzhao sighed lightly, “You’ve been fighting with Duke Ding since childhood—Mother knows you don’t take him seriously. But remember, you can disregard Mo Xiuyao, but you absolutely cannot disregard Duke Ding Manor. We can neither win over nor offend Duke Ding Manor and the Xu family right now. So, Mother won’t inquire about today’s incident. Even if you were truly wronged, you must swallow it!”

Mo Jingli was silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “I’ve caused Mother to worry. Son understands.”

Noble Consort Xianzhao nodded, looking at Mo Jingli gently, “Mother knows you’re a good child. Sometimes you can’t act purely on your own preferences. When you obtain everything, won’t you be able to do as you please then? Before that, you must endure.”

“Thank you for Mother’s guidance, son understands.” Mo Jingli respectfully nodded.

The clothes Ye Li had spent considerable time making were given to Mo Xiuyao as a gift on his birthday. Of course, given her unpleasant memories of Lady’s Lake and the possibility that Mo Xiuyao had found someone he cared for, Ye Li didn’t accept Hua Tianxiang’s suggestion to invite Mo Xiuyao boating. Though she was quite curious how Mo Xiuyao, who stayed indoors even more than she did year-round, had found someone to care about. If he had someone he cared for, why did he marry her—or did he find someone to care about after marrying her? Neither thought improved her mood. Because she didn’t know which was more unfortunate: being married as a shield or having her husband stray less than a month after marriage. Thus, all the servants in Duke Ding Manor were puzzled why their master and mistress’s relationship seemed to have gradually returned to how it was in the first few days after marriage. Or rather, the mistress was unilaterally distancing herself from the master—had they quarreled? But watching them still interact calmly, it didn’t seem like they had quarreled?

Mo Xiuyao naturally also noticed Ye Li subtly distancing herself from him. It shouldn’t be called distancing, but rather subtly returning their relationship to its initial state. But this clearly wasn’t very successful. Because not only had Mo Xiuyao noticed, but even the matron by Ye Li’s side and the usually busy Matron Sun had noticed. However, Mo Xiuyao hadn’t yet figured out exactly why. It seemed… to have started that afternoon when Yang Qianru came to deliver birthday gifts. Alone in his study, Mo Xiuyao silently pondered. He didn’t believe Ye Li was angry about Yang Qianru—not only did they both know Yang Qianru wasn’t an issue, but given Ye Li’s personality, she wouldn’t sulk over such a woman. Then… it must be about their conversation? Mo Xiuyao held a book but wasn’t taking in any of it, instead silently recalling every sentence of their conversation that day…

While Mo Xiuyao was lost in thought in his study, Ye Li had already changed into men’s clothing and left the manor with Qingluan and Qingshuang. Being the Duchess of Ding meant she would draw attention wherever she went, so Ye Li had to resort to the common practice of disguise. Fortunately, her disguise skills were quite proficient. Not the kind involving human skin masks, but rather subtle modifications to skin tone, eyebrows, and careful attention to details like the Adam’s apple and ear piercings—resulting in a handsome young man with slightly darker complexion. Combined with her bearing that differed from the demure ladies of this era, it was difficult for anyone unfamiliar to recognize her without careful scrutiny. Thus, to Qingluan and Qingxia’s surprised expressions, Ye Li contentedly left them at the Treasury Hall to handle accounts while she strutted out, casually waving a folding fan she’d picked up.

The two shadow guards following Ye Li secretly worried for their master. What kind of duchess had their lord married? If they hadn’t been watching the room the duchess entered without missing a moment, then seeing that handsome youth walk out—and carefully checking inside to be certain—they would have almost lost track of her. They were the most senior shadow guards of Duke Ding Manor; if they lost the duchess, they would lose face to remain among the shadow guards and might as well return to the military camp for retraining. But… looking at the graceful young gentleman walking ahead: “San, does she look like a woman?”

“Can’t tell at all, Little Si.”

Since being able to practice martial arts openly without restriction, Ye Li felt she increasingly disliked her former way of life. Pretense was still pretense—she had never had the temperament of a refined lady, though she certainly couldn’t be called lively and active either. But she still needed entertainment and leisure to satisfy normal human preferences. Regarding Mo Xiuyao’s issue, after thinking it over for two or three days, she had put it out of her mind. If Mo Xiuyao truly had someone he cared for and decided to separate amicably, she could accept that. After all, she had money, and she believed Mo Xiuyao wouldn’t be stingy about alimony. However, this meant matters like cultivating feelings and having children in the future would have to be put aside. She had no interest in having children with someone who she knew had feelings for another, so Ye Li, believing there was no need to cultivate feelings anymore, had more free time and decided to go out more often. Married women didn’t need to be locked up at home every day.

“San, where is the duchess going?” In the shadows, the quietly following Shadow Guard Si asked softly.

“How would I know? The duchess seems to want to leave the city,” Shadow Guard San answered.

“The lord and duchess seem to be having a tiff—the duchess isn’t planning to run away from home, is she?” Shadow Guard Si suddenly recalled that during yesterday’s shift change, One and Two had mentioned something odd about the lord and duchess’s relationship these past few days.

“Well… probably not?” Shadow Guard San hesitated, “Should I follow the duchess while you go back to report to His Grace?”

“If the duchess is really running away, could you stop her? What if you lose her? Though they hadn’t personally tested the duchess’s martial prowess, it was definitely different from mere superficial skills.

“This… we’ve already lost her!” Shadow Guard San cried out in dismay. They had just left the city—how had the duchess vanished? Had they been too engrossed in their conversation?

“Stop wasting words and search!” The two shadow guards emerged from hiding to look for the duchess’s whereabouts. Though they hadn’t dared follow too closely earlier, they hadn’t been too far either—she couldn’t have gone far in such a short time.

Ye Li sat on a tree branch watching the two muttering shadow guards below. “Your concealment skills are good, but your personalities are a bit scattered. I mean… do you never look up?” The two passing shadow guards looked up embarrassedly at the handsome youth lounging in the tree. “That’s because Duke Ding Manor has never had a tree-climbing duchess before, and we circled under the tree for ages without hearing even a breath, Your… Your Grace…” The two shadow guards silently wept, already deciding to report to their commander upon return. They weren’t worthy of being shadow guards; they needed to retrain themselves.

Ye Li gracefully jumped down from the tree, landing before the two, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“We wouldn’t dare.”

“I wasn’t planning to run away,” Ye Li smiled at the two nervous shadow guards. Shadow Guard San secretly sighed in relief and carefully asked, “Then… why did Your Grace leave the city?”

“I just wanted to see how long you could follow me.” Ye Li smiled, nodding in approval, “Overall, not bad. Though if you could control your eyes better, it would be better. We hadn’t even gone a li from the Treasury Hall when your gazes made it impossible for me to pretend not to notice.”

“Thank you for Your Grace’s guidance.” Less than a li before being discovered—was that supposed to be praise?

Ye Li looked cheerfully at the dejected shadow guards before her and said, “You may follow me, but… you wouldn’t tell anyone else what I do each day, would you?” The two shadow guards were overjoyed, “Thank you, Your Grace. Since the day of Your Grace’s wedding, we two and two others have been the duchess’s exclusive shadow guards. Unless Your Grace’s life is in danger, we won’t reveal anything about Your Grace to anyone. Including His Grace.” Shadow Guard Si explained. Ye Li nodded. Mo Xiuyao had told her about Duke Ding Manor’s shadow guards, and over these days she had confirmed these people truly hadn’t told Mo Xiuyao anything about her. Though it wouldn’t matter if they did, as she would only let them see things that weren’t secret anyway.

“Perfect, this young master needs some laborers. Come with me.”

Shadow Guards San and Si looked at each other—hadn’t they mentioned they were shadow guards?

Shadow Guards San and Si’s concept of the title “Duchess of Ding” finally transcended the word “woman” that day. The duchess could ride horses? That was nothing—most women from Xiling and the Northern Rong could ride. The duchess knew martial arts? That too was nothing—they had known that at the manor long ago. But could someone tell them why the duchess was leading two people to storm a bandit stronghold? Well, there were no bandits there now—the night the duchess was kidnapped, the Third Prince Feng had led the Black Cloud Cavalry to clean out this bandit stronghold called Black Cloud Peak. The Black Cloud Cavalry brothers were very frustrated—what kind of blind bandits would dare to name themselves Black Cloud Peak and provoke their lord? Weren’t they just smearing the Black Cloud Cavalry’s name?

Watching Ye Li ride over a hundred li on horseback, then walk up the mountain at a leisurely pace without showing any sign of fatigue, the shadow-guards-turned-visible-guards San and Si were very frustrated. Ye Li turned back, looking at the two with raised eyebrows in confusion, “Why aren’t you walking? Tired?”

The two shook their heads like rattles. Shadow Guard San gathered his courage to ask, “Your Grace, why are we here?”

Ye Li turned back to smile at the two, “Hiking, walking, sightseeing, clearing my mind, selling your organs?”

“Your Grace…”

Shadow Guards San and Si had been to Black Cloud Peak before, but upon climbing the mountain, they found it completely different from their last visit. The stronghold on the mountain wasn’t damaged; rather, all the original traps and mechanisms on the path up had been removed, making the climb much easier. Though this meant nothing to those with strong martial arts like them, it clearly made a big difference for ordinary people. Moreover, people were actually living in the stronghold—they could see smoke from cooking fires in the distance. Was the duchess planning to become a bandit? Or had Black Cloud Peak gained a new group of bandits and the duchess was bringing them to eliminate them?

Just as the three approached the stronghold, they heard dogs barking. Soon, a spirited man in his sixties led several elderly people and children to welcome them. Seeing Ye Li, his face broke into a smile as he approached, “Young Master Chu.”

Ye Li nodded, “Old Wang, may we come in?”

The old man leaned on his walking stick, nodding repeatedly, “This old one is doing well, thanks to Young Master’s care. Please come in, Young Master.”

Ye Li asked the old man to lead the way, walking beside him while asking, “I can’t come here often—is Old Wang living comfortably here?”

The old man said, “This place is neither too far nor too close to the capital, everything is good. We’ve been carrying out everything according to Young Master’s instructions. Would Young Master like to check? Ah… it’s almost lunchtime, Young Master has come from afar and probably hasn’t eaten. If you don’t mind the stronghold’s simplicity, why not have lunch first?” Ye Li had left in the morning and indeed hadn’t had lunch, so she nodded in agreement. The old man was very pleased and ordered people to prepare lunch, personally showing Ye Li to a simple but very clean room to rest.

“Your Grace… this, this place how…” As soon as the old man left, Shadow Guard San eagerly asked, though he couldn’t quite figure out what exactly to ask.

Ye Li sat leisurely in her chair and said, “You want to ask about this place? After my last visit here, I found this place quite nice, so I found a way to buy it. It’s not far from the capital, and it’s not uninhabited. These mountains and forests naturally have owners, but because of the bandits’ presence, ordinary people didn’t dare manage it.” Shadow Guard Si asked in confusion, “Why did Your Grace buy this mountain? It looks… worthless. Neither the trees nor plants have much value, and the mountain doesn’t look like it has any gold or silver mines.”

Ye Li blinked, “I never intended it to have any additional value. It’s just an ordinary mountain. There’s just a manor and a few households at the foot of the mountain now.”

“At the foot?” Shadow Guard San recalled there was indeed a sizeable manor not far from the mountain’s base.

Shadow guards weren’t fools—they certainly knew that even if the manor at the foot belonged to the duchess, she must value something on the mountain itself. Otherwise, why specifically climb up here? Two pairs of eyes silently watched the handsome youth before them. Ye Li helplessly closed her affected fan and said, “Fine, I’ll show you after lunch. If you don’t believe you understand the professional ethics of shadow guards, this young master will personally teach you until you do.” Shadow Guards San and Si couldn’t help but shudder, responding almost instinctively, “We understand.”

After a simple lunch, Ye Li thanked the old man and led the two shadow guards toward the back mountain.

Soon after, Shadow Guards San and Si finally understood why the duchess had told them she needed laborers. Climbing down the cliff at the back of the mountain, they found an enormous valley filled with towering trees. Even in broad daylight, wolf howls could be heard in the distance. How could such a place exist near the capital? Ye Li led them through the eerie forest for a while before finally finding a group of busy people. These people were building simple houses and things they recognized from the manor’s training grounds, along with many things they didn’t understand at all. What puzzled them most was that in all the days they’d followed the duchess, they’d never seen her do anything—what was going on here?

A burly man in his thirties came forward to greet them, immediately approaching Ye Li, “Young Master Chu.”

Ye Li nodded, “How is it progressing?”

The burly man’s face bore a simple, honest smile as he said, “Rest assured, Young Master, we haven’t dared make even the slightest mistake. Everything is done according to your instructions. What do you think?” Ye Li nodded with satisfaction and smiled, “I’ve already seen it. You’ve done very well.” The man scratched his head and smiled, “Though we don’t know what these things are for, Young Master Chu has shown us kindness and given us work—we’ll definitely do a good job for you.” Ye Li smiled, “No need for formalities, you’re earning money through your own efforts. Today I brought new blueprints—look them over and see if there’s anything unclear, we can discuss it in detail.” Ye Li took out a thick stack of blueprints and handed them to him. The burly man opened and looked through them, smiling, “Young Master’s drawings are clear. I’ll take them to show the master craftsmen. Would Young Master like to come along?”

“I’ll look around first, then come over when they’re less busy.”

After the man cheerfully left with the blueprints, Ye Li turned to the two dumbfounded men and said, “You can ask your questions now.”

Shadow Guard Si looked around and said, “Is Your Grace… building a training ground? Many things are similar to those at the manor.”

Ye Li nodded with satisfaction and smiled, “Good eye. You could say I’m building a fun playground.”

“Your Grace has quite unique interests.”

“How did Your Grace find this place?” Shadow Guard San asked.

“Ah, I asked someone if there were any hidden yet interesting places near the capital, and they recommended here. I came once and found it indeed quite nice.”

Shadow Guard San frowned, looking up, “Isn’t this place easily accessible? We just came down directly from the cliff. And last time, the Master of Tianyi Chamber escaped from below, showing there’s more than one way in and out.” Ye Li smiled, “If you mean the exit below, I’ve already sealed it. As for entering or leaving through this forest, I’ve checked—the forest’s edge extends fifty li or more in all directions, with one side dropping into an even deeper cliff. Plus there are swamps, poisonous plants, and wild beasts. Haven’t you noticed the snake-repelling medicine placed everywhere? It’s truly a perfect hunting ground. Finding such a place near the capital was incredibly fortunate. If you’re planning to come down from above like we did… once this place is finished, that path will disappear too, and… anyone not afraid of death can try using lightness skill to jump down.”

Shadow Guards San and Si unconsciously drew closer together—from the duchess’s tone, the consequences of jumping down from above might be worse than trying to break through the forest.

“What is Your Grace building such a place… for?” Shadow Guard San swallowed hard, asking with some difficulty.

Ye Li smiled pleasantly, “Didn’t I say? For fun. The manor’s conditions are limited and too boring. Once this is finished, when I feel bored, I can come here for a walk and my mood will surely improve twice over.” Shadow Guards San and Si were horrified—they should have known that a duchess with such unique interests couldn’t be normal. The whole capital had been deceived by the duchess… even if the old duke were to come back to life, he’d surely be frightened by such a formidable daughter-in-law.

Satisfied with the surroundings’ arrangement, Ye Li’s smiling eyes dimmed slightly. Days wouldn’t always be so peaceful, so she couldn’t really just pretend to know nothing and be a carefree Duchess of Ding. Eldest Brother had gone to the Southern Frontier, Third Brother to the military camp… if Uncle hadn’t foreseen that future crisis was unavoidable, he wouldn’t have let Eldest Brother get involved in court affairs. Young Master Qingchen’s reputation was too prominent, and the Xu family didn’t need more fame. So… before things happened, she too had to make her own preparations, so that in the future she could protect her family, in her own way.
