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!'

娥連被數十刀，猶手挽顏衣不釋，顏忿恚，斷其喉以死。 E was struck dozens of times yet still would not let go of Yan's robe. Enraged, Yan cut her throat and killed her.
