"Indeed it is so," Fu Zhen nodded without any reservation, "My grandfather once suffered an accident, fell into the water, caught an illness, and consequently passed away."
"What kind of accident did he encounter?"
"One night at the Huzhou Pier, after inspecting the cargo ship, he was accidentally injured and fell into the water during a sudden fight between two groups of people."
The Empress nodded and asked a moment later, "Do you know who the fighting parties were?"
Fu Zhen shook her head, "Neither I nor my mother know, and my grandfather never spoke of it."
The Empress pressed her lips together lightly and fell silent.
Her folded hands slowly tightened, and this scene fell into Fu Zhen's watchful eyes.
That the Empress would inquire about Mr. Ning's affairs from Fu Zhen was within Fu Zhen's expectations.
And this was precisely the main reason she had hoped to enter the palace these days.
