Kill My Sins Episode 5 Recap
> Kill My Sins Recap
Ye Ping'an went to the Hai residence to visit Minister Hai Yiping. The gatekeeper, upon hearing that she was sent by Attendant Wu to deliver a message requesting pearl powder, immediately led her inside. Inside the residence, Ye Ping'an noticed a sorcerer performing a ritual, which piqued her curiosity. When she later met with Hai Yiping, she inquired about it. Hai Yiping explained that his younger sister, Hai Yan, had been quiet since childhood.
After a fire broke out in their residence, her behavior became even more peculiar. The matriarch believed that Hai Yan was possessed by an evil spirit and thus invited a sorcerer to the residence every month to perform exorcism rituals. Ye Ping'an volunteered to see Hai Yan, thinking she might be able to help. Meanwhile, spies reported her visit to the Hai residence to Qi Junshan, who then informed Du Liang.
Du Liang decided to target Ye Ping'an’s aunt, Gu Erniang, to exploit Ye Ping'an’s weakness. Gu Erniang, despite her skills, was outnumbered and quickly captured, but Ye Ping'an, still at the Hai residence, remained unaware. Ye Ping'an used painting as a way to connect with Hai Yan, though she was nearly misunderstood by the matriarch. Fortunately, Hai Yan unexpectedly spoke up, clearing the misunderstanding.
Ye Ping'an explained to the matriarch that Hai Yan struggled to understand normal conversations and could only engage in simple dialogues. She advised interacting with Hai Yan according to her preferences. Hai Yiping, upon learning from Ye Ping'an about Du Liang’s actions, was deeply shocked. Ye Ping'an, holding only a nominal position, stated that she was not in a position to intervene but recommended someone who could—Yuan Shaocheng, the investigator of the military funds case.
When Ye Ping'an returned to Anxin Pavilion, Lu Danxin informed her that her aunt had been captured. Lu Danxin initially wanted to seek help from Uncle Gui, but Ye Ping'an stopped her. Instead, Lu Danxin went to the Yuan residence to inform Gu Wenyu about Gu Erniang’s capture. Soon after, Du Liang’s men arrived to invite Ye Ping'an to a night banquet, claiming it was to celebrate her new official position. Meanwhile, Yuan Shaocheng visited Hai Yiping.
Aware that Yuan Shaocheng had once sided with Du Liang and was now trying to align with the Mei faction, Hai Yiping was cautious. He tested Yuan Shaocheng to see if he was trustworthy and found him to be a promising talent. Yuan Shaocheng had prepared a significant gift for Hai Yiping. When he revealed that the gift was the military funds, Hai Yiping was visibly surprised.
Shortly after, Yuan Shaocheng returned to his residence, where Gu Wenyu quickly reported to him about the situation involving Ye Ping'an and her aunt, Gu Erniang. Since it was unwise for Yuan Shaocheng to appear at Du Liang’s residence, he instructed Gu Wenyu to go to the Hai residence and find Hai Yiping. Du Liang used Gu Erniang as leverage to threaten Ye Ping'an. However, Ye Ping'an remained calm and unyielding, neither showing fear nor backing down.
Furious, Du Liang was about to draw his blade when a servant reported that an envoy from Hai Yiping had arrived, claiming that Hai Yiping needed Ye Ping'an’s medical expertise. This provided Ye Ping'an with an opportunity to safely leave for the Hai residence. By then, the curfew had begun, so for safety reasons, she followed Hai Yiping’s arrangements and stayed at the Hai residence overnight.
Unexpectedly, she discovered that Hai Yan recognized a woman with a floral mark on her arm. Ye Ping'an attempted to ask Hai Yan more about the woman, but Hai Yiping walked in and interrupted. It turned out that Hai Yiping had used Hai Yan to draw the woman with the floral mark to verify his own suspicions about Ye Ping'an’s motives against Zheng Yuan and Du Liang.
Over a decade ago, when Ye Ping'an was still known as Gu Qing, she had self-taught psychological medicine through medical books. Zheng Yuan, having heard of her ability to make people obedient, deceived her into leading women into an abandoned residence, where they were assaulted. After the incident, Ye Ping'an personally witnessed Qi Junshan waiting outside the burning residence, mercilessly shooting down the women who had managed to escape the fire. Overwhelmed by guilt, she began planning her revenge—thus setting everything that followed into motion.
