Si Jin Episode 4 Recap
> Si Jin Recap
Jiang Zhan was wandering the streets when he ran into some of his long-time rivals. A fight was inevitable, so he lied about finding a secluded place for a proper duel. However, he used this as an excuse to escape, successfully outwitting them. Feeling triumphant, he boarded a boat and leisurely drifted across the lake. As he was lost in thought, a strikingly heroic young woman suddenly appeared on the bridge above him, immediately capturing his attention.
Her name was Lu Chuchu, and she had a passion for adventuring through the martial world. While shopping, Lu Chuchu realized that her money had been stolen. Mistakenly assuming that Jiang Zhan was working with the child who had taken her money, she deliberately struck up a conversation with him to distract him while another child attempted to steal from him. Jiang Zhan was baffled by Lu Chuchu’s actions and provoked her in response.
To his surprise, Lu Chuchu was highly skilled in martial arts—she leaped gracefully from the bridge and landed directly onto his boat. She took Jiang Zhan’s money and was about to leave when he accidentally fell into the river. Realizing that he could not swim, Lu Chuchu immediately jumped in and rescued him. Jiang Zhan remained unconscious after being pulled out of the water, leaving Lu Chuchu extremely worried. She anxiously tried to wake him up.
Just then, Jiang Shi arrived. The moment Jiang Zhan heard his sister’s voice, he suddenly regained consciousness—it turned out he had been pretending all along just to scare Lu Chuchu. Seeing her brother safe, Jiang Shi scolded him for wandering near the lake and expressed her concern, creating a warm scene that Lu Chuchu found touching. After learning what had happened, Jiang Shi returned Jiang Zhan’s money to Lu Chuchu. Through this encounter, the two women formed a friendship.
Back at home, Jiang Shi was preparing a sleeping-inducing incense, intending to bring it to the Changxing Marquis Manor as a precaution. A’Man, surprised that Jiang Shi knew such things, asked where she had learned it. Jiang Shi, unwilling to reveal that she had been taught these skills in her past life in Nanwu, simply claimed she had learned it from books.
Meanwhile, Yu Qi was still studying Jiang Shi’s paintings, but no matter how much he investigated, he found nothing suspicious about her. There were no clues at all. However, Yu Qi did not focus all his energy on investigating Jiang Shi. Instead, he prioritized the most urgent case—the disappearance of Xiu Niang’s daughter. Jiang Shi, accompanied by her third sister, went to the Changxing Marquis Manor. Jiang Qian personally received them.
Just as they were about to have a meal, Jiang Qian’s husband, Cao Xingxing, suddenly returned. Upon seeing Jiang Shi, he made no effort to hide his lecherous gaze. Jiang Shi, in turn, was reminded of the events from her past life. Her expression immediately turned cold. To find Xiu Niang’s daughter, Yu Qi secretly gathered information on all previous cases of missing girls.
He marked all the locations where they had disappeared and brought portraits of the missing girls to the marketplace to ask vendors for information. However, the vendors were reluctant to speak, their expressions shifty and evasive. Yu Qi quickly realized they were hiding something. Under pressure, they finally admitted that the missing girls were linked to the heir of the Changxing Marquis Manor. While strolling through the marquis manor’s garden, Jiang Shi suddenly caught a foul smell.
Searching further, she discovered a copper hairpin hidden among the flowers. A chilling suspicion formed in her mind—there might be corpses buried beneath the flowerbed. Jiang Qian deliberately separated Jiang Shi from the others, arranging for her to stay alone in a separate courtyard. Jiang Shi immediately recognized the ploy—someone intended to harm her. However, she decided to go along with it, determined to make the heir of the Changxing Marquis Manor pay.
In her past life, after she was defiled, her father had been furious and wanted to seek justice for her. However, the entire Jiang family had refused to support them, leaving her and her father utterly abandoned. Alone in her room, Jiang Shi heard movement outside. Though she had anticipated this, she still felt a trace of nervousness. To her relief, the person who entered was her third sister, Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Shi relaxed slightly as Jiang Qiao insisted on staying with her for the night. Jiang Shi was puzzled—Jiang Qiao had not come to her aid in the past life. She began to consider how to get Jiang Qiao to leave safely. As she was deep in thought, Cao Xingxing stealthily approached the bedside. Jiang Shi tensed, gripping a hidden wristband laced with sleeping powder. However, upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Cao Xingxing hesitated and left.
Jiang Qiao immediately sat up in alarm and called for help, clutching a hairpin tightly in her hand. It turned out she had already suspected Cao Xingxing’s ill intentions and had deliberately come to protect Jiang Shi. Jiang Shi then noticed a lifeless girl lying on the floor, her heart filled with sorrow. Just as she was overwhelmed with grief, someone tried to silence her permanently. At that critical moment, Yu Qi appeared and saved her.
