The Namgoong estate was divided into two primary sections: the Inner Hall, where the clan’s direct bloodline resided, and the Outer Hall, where branch families and those affiliated with the clan by name—but not by blood—lived.
She had heard that anyone claiming to be a long-lost child of Namgoong would first be filtered through the Outer Hall.
