Good question! I agree with 阿拉蕾. xiao san means a woman (usually unmarried, younger and prettier than the man's wife ) who have an adultery with a married man.

xiao san is basically a ranking. lao da, the number one, would be the wife. er nai, number 2, would be the mistress. xiao san, literally little 3, is what comes after the mistress.
