Which fact VS. Which
1) She said nothing, which fact made him sad.
2) She said nothing, which made him sad.
I have heard of "which fact" but I am not familiar with the phrase yet and then what is a meaning difference between #1 and #2 and which is usually used for choosing between either of things in front of nouns like "Which bag do you like?" and then which fact also means choosing one fact? What do you native English speakers think?
I am sorry about not being smart with this and Thank you so much as usual.

Hans51I have heard of "which fact" but I am not familiar with the phraseIn the given context, it's just a fancier way of saying "which", and it has an almost legalistic ring to it. There is no intended difference in meaning.
