樸不花因后而寵幸，既被劾黜，后諷御史大夫佛家奴為之辯明。 Po Buhua, through the empress, enjoyed favor; after he was impeached and dismissed, the empress hinted to Censor-in-Chief Foxianu to plead his case.

佛家奴乃謀再劾樸不花，后知之，反嗾御史劾佛家奴，謫居潮河。 Foxianu then plotted to impeach Po Buhua again; when the empress learned of it, she in turn incited censors to impeach Foxianu, who was demoted and sent to reside at Chaohe.

未幾，復還武昌，命其子報恩奴、接待奴、佛家奴以大船四十餘只水陸並進，至沔陽攻徐壽輝偽將倪文俊，且載妃妾以行。 Before long he was back at Wuchang and sent his sons Baonenu, Jiedainu, and Fojianu forward by land and water with more than forty large ships to Mianyang to attack Ni Wenjun, a rebel general of Xu Shouhui — even bringing their consorts and concubines along.

兵至漢川縣雞鳴汊，水淺船閣，不能行，文俊以火筏盡焚其船，接待奴、佛家奴皆遇害，而報恩奴自死，妃妾皆陷，寬徹普化走陜西。 At Jiming Ford in Hanchuan the water ran shallow and the fleet grounded; Wenjun sent fire-rafts and burned every ship. Jiedainu and Fojianu were killed, Baonenu took his own life, the women were all captured, and Kuanchepuhua fled to Shaanxi.

其從之學者多有所成，佛家奴為太尉，完者不花僉樞密院事，皆有賢名。 Many of his students attained distinction: Fo Jianu became Grand Marshal and Wan Zhebu Hua became associate administrator of the Privy Council—men of worthy reputation.
