In SoS, when Roose Bolton is talking to Jamie and Brienne, he tells them that Arya has been found and being returned to her mother.  How has he come by this knowledge?  The Brotherhood has been harassing the Brave Companions along with everyone else and they clearly don't trust the 'Flayed Man' or share information with him.

I finished reading SoS but I still did not get it, or I have forgotten it already.

In the end, when Jaime returns to King's Landing, he runs into a girl getting ready for a trip, and she claims to be Arya Stark, but Jaime realizes that this girl was a bit older than Arya and didn't have some of Arya's features. She says she is going back north and she is to marry Roose's no longer bastard son Ramsay, making him Lord of Winterfell.

But we know where Arya is, and Cersei and company have no idea where she is or whether she is dead or alive.

This is one of Littlefinger's ploys probably to secure peace with Roose and the north and who knows what else because its Littlefinger. I believe the girl pretending to be Arya might be Jeyne Poole, Sansa's friend from the first book, who was taken away after Ned's arrest.

Take a closer look at the last Jaime chapter in A Storm of Swords then.  The one where he gives a certain sword its name.
