蕭韓家奴，字括寧，奚長渤魯恩之後。 Xiao Hanjianu, whose style name was Kuoning, was a descendant of the Xi chieftain Boluen.

帝倉卒欲避於北、南大王院，與耶律仁先執轡固諫，乃止。 The emperor, taken by surprise, wished to flee to the courts of the Northern and Southern Great Kings. Together with Yelu Renxian, Hanjianu seized the reins and remonstrated firmly, and the emperor abandoned the plan.

韓家奴獨出諭之曰：「汝曹去順效逆，徒取族滅。 Hanjianu went out alone and addressed them, saying, "You abandon loyalty and follow rebellion — you will only bring extermination upon your clans.

韓家奴上書力言其冤，不報。 Hanjianu memorialized forcefully declaring the prince's innocence, but received no response.

良以反謀白太后，韓家奴以逆順降奚人，德與阿思殺涅魯古，皆有討賊之力焉。 Liang reported the plot of rebellion to the Empress Dowager; Hanjianu, by distinguishing loyalty from rebellion, caused the Xi to submit; Xiao De and Yelu Asi killed Nielugu — all contributed force to the suppression of the rebels.
