母早亡，養於祖媼。 Her mother died when she was young, and she was raised by her grandmother.

娥十歲，裏中朱顏與媼競，持刀欲殺媼，一家驚潰，獨娥號呼突前，擁蔽其媼，手挽顏衣，以身下墜顏刀，曰：“寧殺我，毋殺媼也。” When E was ten, a neighbor named Zhu Yan quarreled with her grandmother and drew a knife to kill her. The whole household fled in panic, but E alone cried out and rushed forward, shielding her grandmother, clutching Yan's robe and throwing herself beneath his blade. 'Kill me instead,' she cried, 'but spare Grandmother!'

媼以娥故得脫。 Thanks to E, her grandmother escaped.
