What happened after that was as she expected.

Long-term anemia led to premature delivery, and hemorrhage occurred during the delivery process. In the end, although her life was saved, the child could not live at all, and was born with serious congenital diseases.

Her husband thought it was her failure to protect the fetus and threatened to beat her to death, but due to the laws of the Winter Empire, he just beat her half to death in the end, and then threw her out of the house.

In this way, even the laws of the Winter Empire cannot find fault with him.

After all, she was kicked out of the house and died outside, so what does it have to do with him as a businessman?

The knock on the door brought Fia back to reality from the painful memories. The door of the room opened, and a man in ordinary clothes with a heroic posture led a demi-human girl with snow-white wings on her back and walked in.

"how do you feel?"

Xi Wei asked gently.

Although the wound on the woman on the bed had healed, her mood was still very low, her face was pale and bloodless, and beads of sweat on her forehead slid down her temples.

"Thank you for saving my life."

Fia wanted to stand up and thank her, but Xi Wei pushed her back.

"Your body has just recovered, and you still need more rest." Xi Wei tucked the quilt up for the woman, and asked tentatively: "If you don't mind, you can tell me what happened to you, maybe I can solve your troubles ?”

The pain in Fia's heart really needs to be vented.

She didn't feel that the man in front of her would plot anything against her, just the subhuman girl standing next to him could already reflect the power and wealth of this man.

So she didn't hide it.

Directly tell everything that happened during this period without reservation.

"Master, this rich businessman is going too far!" Bai Yao clenched her fists, trembling with anger.

This woman named Fei Ya is also the wife of a rich businessman, and she is pregnant with a child of a rich businessman. How could a rich businessman persecute his wife like this for a lover?

Later, she had a miscarriage, and the fault was attributed to the woman.

Simply insane!

Xi Wei has already guessed part of what happened to women. Under the current social background, women who have miscarriages will basically be abandoned. They will be regarded as being cursed by evil gods and unable to give birth normally, which is a symbol of uncleanness, but Xi Wei didn't expect that there was a lover in this story.

What curse needs the blood of a pregnant woman to undo it?

He is also knowledgeable, but he has never heard of such a situation, not to mention that such words were spoken by the priest of the temple.

What kind of shit priest is this? !

He intends to seriously investigate the ins and outs of the whole matter, starting from sneaking into the rich businessman's home.

……

"You said someone took Fia's body away?"

Berners squinted at his butler with a suspicious expression.

"Yes, my lord, I saw it with my own eyes, but at that time Fia was still alive." The middle-aged housekeeper bent over and recalled carefully: "It was a young man who took Miss Fia away, and beside him was a young man with a back The girl with wings."

"A girl with wings on her back? A feathered person or a subhuman?" Bernas frowned and thought for a while. He couldn't think of any relatives of Fia who fit the description of the butler, but since they were not Fia's relatives, why did the other party want to take care of her? Ya life or death?

Now the laws of Winter City have been strictly enforced in Dragonfire City.

The Winter King said that he didn't like slaves, so all slave owners who hadn't changed their jobs within three days had been sent to the gallows.

Now the nobles can only order their servants by hiring, and they must pay the servants every month, and the nobles cannot kill the servants at will. If they want to execute them, it must be because the servant violated the crime of the empire law.

The same is true for sub-humans. The reselling of foreign races has been completely banned now, but it is very difficult to hire a beautiful foreign race as a servant, not because it is too expensive, but because it is impossible to find.

There are also some demihumans and humanoids living in Dragonfire City.

But they are all under the protection of the Winter Holy Order.

They were a group of cold-faced soldiers who stuffed themselves into armor every day.

Every day, they patrol every corner of the city holding a golden eagle shield with a black background and a long sword.

No one dared to disturb the lives of those demihumans under their supervision.

So being able to have a subhuman girl following him means that this man's identity is very unusual

Berners is a very smart businessman, and when he reasoned to this point, he already started to feel irritable.

as a businessman.

He hated this feeling of being stuck in his throat the most.

"boom--!"

There was a loud bang from the door outside the courtyard, like a thunderclap on the ground.

Both Bernas and the butler were trembling with fright, the table knife and matcha cake in his hand almost flew out.

"What's going on!" Berners, who came back to his senses, stood up and roared out the window: "Who made the noise?"

"it's me."

Xi Wei walked into the room with the white harrier.

This wave of infiltration was very successful.

Not only did they see the Lord, but there were no unrelated casualties. The servants had already screamed and hid in the corner the moment the door was kicked open.

"Who are you?!" Bernas stared at Xi Wei and asked loudly. Seeing that Xi Wei was wearing armor and holding a long sword in his hand, he didn't look like someone to be trifled with, so he immediately turned his head and shouted out the window:

"Guards! Where's my guard?"

His voice became a little anxious:

"Put this intruder out for me, damn it!"

"My lord, you don't have any guards anymore." The butler seriously reminded: "According to the laws of the Winter Empire, except for the nobles of the lords, all other nobles, including wealthy businessmen, are not allowed to hire guards privately. Hanged by the law for treason, your guards were disbanded by you yourself a week ago."

"Ow! Fuck, damn imperial law!"

Berners cursed and sat back on the chair in a slumped manner.

"Listen young man, I don't care what kind of relationship you have with Fia."

He said to Xi Wei: "I beat her up and kicked her out of the house because she killed my child. I completely abide by the laws of the empire in handling this matter. If you want to hurt me because of this, Dragon Fire The city's precept chief will not let you go!"

"He's my uncle!" Bernas added, "And I have a very good relationship with the current Dragonfire City lord."

"So?" Xi Wei tilted his neck.

"So I suggest you better not get involved in this matter, it won't do you any good!" Bernas screamed arrogantly while glaring at Xi Wei, but a big pussy pocket was slammed into his face.
