The Emperor had introduced a lot of children who were distant relatives of the royal family to Lord Fei. The Emperor felt guilty because he was the reason that Lord Fei lost his only son.
The emperor wished for lord Fei's happiness that's he wanted his Uncle to adopt a child and live a peaceful life but Lord Fei didn't like any child that his nephew introduced to him.
Children were too polite and afraid of him either they tried to please him or they were too terrified to even look him in the eye.
Such children -Lord Fei didn't dare to adopt. Both he and his wife were straightforward people they didn't know how to soften their tone and their words were too blunt enough to make a grown-up cry much less a child. He was worried that the child he will adopt might end up crying the entire time.
However he and his wife were childless and they were getting old. At such an age they felt lonely and wished that someone would accompany them.
