Did Ned Stark treat with the FM?

While reading an archived ASOIAF thread at Reddit I came across this reference:

Could some one here please shout me just where this occurs in AFFC, please?

I missed it completely on my first reading.

I think you have misinterpreted the sentence. The waif tells Arya that the waif's father did a deal with the faceless men. Here is the quote anyway:

Quote

She did not expect the waif to answer, but she did. "I was born the only child of an ancient House, my noble father's heir," the waif replied. "My mother died when I was little, I have no memory of her. When I was six my father wed again. His new wife treated me kindly until she gave birth to a daughter of her own. Then it was her wish that I should die, so her own blood might inherit my father's wealth. She should have sought the favor of the Many-Faced God, but she could not bear the sacrifice he would ask of her. Instead, she thought to poison me herself. It left me as you see me now, but I did not die. When the healers in the House of the Red Hands told my father what she had done, he came here and made sacrifice, offering up all his wealth and me. Him of Many Faces heard his prayer. I was brought to the temple to serve, and my father's wife received the gift."
